Megyn Kelly and Chelsea Clinton had a fiery back-and-forth over the former First Daughter’s social media posts about disaster relief in flood-stricken central Texas.
Kelly, 54, kicked off the war of the words by responding to Clinton’s X post about her family’s philanthropic work in the area.
‘Members of the @ClintonGlobal community are on the ground in Texas, supporting families, communities and ongoing search and rescue efforts,’ Clinton wrote on Wednesday, while listing several other relief agencies responding to the disaster.
Commenters were quick to pile on to Clinton’s posts, accusing her family of everything from stealing government funds to having links to Jeffrey Epstein.
Several revived claims that the Clinton Foundation cashed in on development projects in the aftermath of a catastrophic earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010.
Others brought up the Clintons’ connection to Epstein, who was part of the original group that conceived of the Clinton Global Initiative.
‘The responses to this is AMAZING,’ Kelly wrote on X alongside Clinton’s original post.
Clinton then ratcheted things up by addressing Kelly directly.

‘Hi Megyn – I’m sure any of the organizations I mentioned which are on the ground in Texas would welcome your support. I would be happy to put you in touch directly. We all need to support those impacted by the tragic floods in Kerr county and surrounding areas.’
Kelly then took the opportunity to rip into Clinton and her family.
‘Chelsea, what we are seeing in the replies to your post is that while you love to play fake philanthropist, absolutely no one wants your family of grifters anywhere near those suffering in Texas, Haiti or anywhere else,’ the former Fox News host wrote.
Clinton responded again, appearing to defend herself against any accusations.
‘I don’t receive a cent & never have from these or @ClintonFdn,’ she wrote. ‘Supporting vital work in Texas matters most now. Hope you will highlight relief efforts on your @x timeline – apologies if I missed them – & show.’
Kelly – one of several conservatives to express frustration last week after the Justice Department’s findings that Epstein never even kept a ‘client list’ – decided to end the feud there.
Comments blasting the Clinton Global Initiative and Clinton Foundation continued in the replies.
The foundation was accused of wrongdoing in Haiti, including a bribery and pay-to-play scheme.
