Ann Coulter recently took to X to display her criticism of Megyn Kelly, who had previously targeted Lauren Sánchez.

The Megyn Kelly Show host had called out media personality and Jeff Bezos’ fiancee, Lauren Sánchez, for her racy outfit that she donned at Trump’s second inauguration. Kelly’s comments on her podcast didn’t sit well with Ann Coulter, who showcased her disapproval on social media.

The conservation author and lawyer posted a picture of Kelly from a photoshoot, where she is wearing a somewhat revealing dress, and commented:

“This you?”

Ann Coulter’s post didn’t impress many X users, as they defended Megyn Kelly. A user even posted Coulter’s picture to point out her hypocrisy and wrote:

“Ann really, really ought to sit this one out.”

Many didn’t like Megyn Kelly getting critiqued by Ann Coulter for her seemingly old picture from a photoshoot. Here’s how some users on X defended Kelly while lambasting Coulter:

“She wore that to the inauguration? – No,” a user pointed out while highlighting Kelly’s original stance.
“I can’t believe coulter thought this was remotely apples to apples,” another user noted.
“Which presidential inauguration was this picture from?,” someone asked sarcastically.
“If Megyn Kelly dressed like that for a presidential inauguration, she'd deserve all the criticism as well. – A pic from a 20ish year old photo shoot, doesn't seem to hold the same meaning,” another one defended Megyn Kelly.

A user observed:

“Wow, that's some hilarious jealousy right there. – That was a photoshoot... Not an inauguration.”

Author and media commentator, Shemeka Michelle (@ShemekaMichelle) also chimed in with her response she added,

“Wow! I had no idea Megan wore this to the inauguration.”

Someone wrote:

“It's not the same thing. Show a photo of Megyn dressing like that at a formal event, and maybe you'd have a point.”

For the unversed, Megyn Kelly had criticized Lauren Sánchez a day after Trump’s inauguration. She questioned her wardrobe choice while saying:

“She dresses like a pr*st*tute! She looked like a h**ker! At the inauguration, she wore a corset and she had her b***s on display! I can’t, with this woman! The girls were out. Look at this! Look at this. I can see the middle of her b***s. I can see her underb***. This is absurd. She couldn’t even keep them covered up for a day.”

Kelly also highlighted Mark Zuckerberg’s picture from the inaugural ceremony as she concluded:

“And all over X was a picture of Mark Zuckerberg sitting next to her, sneaking a peek. I don’t blame him at all!”

A couple of minutes after her rant, Megyn Kelly advised Sanchez to “have some respect and dignity,” for circumstances like the inauguration ceremony. Interestingly, Kelly had also commented on Melania Trump’s choice of dress, as she declared her “stunning.”
