Megyn Kelly criticized Kamala Harris for attending a fundraiser full of Hollywood elites instead of heading to areas affected by Hurricane Helene.
At least 121 deaths in six states have been attributed to the storm, a figure that increased Monday as a clearer picture emerged of the devastation it inflicted on an area stretching from Florida’s Gulf Coast north to the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia. More than 600 are missing.
On her SiriusXM show Monday, Kelly questioned why Harris rubbed shoulders with the stars instead of tending to those left behind.
“Last night, in the midst of the devastation, the loss of life, men, women, children, pets, all the devastation and destruction of communities, Kamala Harris attended a fundraiser in Los Angeles,” he said.
Stars on view that night included Stevie Wonder Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling Brown, Demi Lovato, Jessica Alba, Lily, Tomlin, Alanis Morissette and Halle Bailey.

Harris canceled her planned campaign stops on Monday to return to Washington, D.C., for a briefing on Hurricane Helene.
He will leave Las Vegas in the morning and will be in Washington for a briefing at FEMA on Monday afternoon, according to his campaign. It will also visit devastated areas when this does not disrupt emergency response efforts.
Kelly was no kinder to Joe Biden, who insisted he took charge after the disaster and said he won’t visit until he can avoid being a distraction.
“He spent the weekend in Delaware at his beach house, but I’m glad that now that it’s Monday and it’s between 11 and 4, he’s taking it seriously.” “Sorry, but get off the beach and get to work… He says he wants to avoid being a distraction and therefore hopes to be there by the end of this week,” he said.
‘I’m just going to say it. I don’t believe him. I don’t think he’s worried about being a distraction that could be a problem for presidents. I think he’s tired. It didn’t move until the end of this crisis.
Donald Trump has ridiculed Harris for “pretending” to work in humanitarian aid after Hurricane Helene in a photo posted on his social networks.

President Trump visited Georgia after the hurricane before Biden or Harris
The post even mentioned how it was coordinating with North Carolina’s governor to assist in the state’s recovery efforts.
However, Trump pointed out a glaring problem with the photo.
‘You have to plug the cable into the phone for it to work!’ Trump wrote on her Truth Social app, noting that the headphones she uses are not connected to her phone on the desk.
“Another fake, staged photo from someone who has no idea what they’re doing.”
However, the angle of the image does not provide a line of sight to the vice president’s phone port, raising the possibility that her headphones were actually connected to the device.
The earpiece cord apparently falls into the vice president’s lap and not onto the phone on the table in front of her, which also means there could be a second phone involved in this latest scandal.
The photo that appears to show Harris hard at work on the phone is captioned: ‘(FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell) just briefed me on the latest developments regarding the current impacts of Hurricane Helene. We also discussed our Administration’s continued actions to support emergency response and recovery.’
“I also spoke with (Governor Roy) Cooper about the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in North Carolina,” the post continued. “Our Administration will continue to be in constant contact with state and local officials to ensure communities have the support and resources they need.”
Harris has not yet visited any of the states affected by the tragic and deadly storm.
Vice President Kamala Harris raised this on her official X account on Sunday, and many were quick to point out that her headphones don’t appear plugged in.
Trump, on the other hand, went to Valdosta, Georgia, to tour the damage caused by Helene on Monday afternoon.
He spoke with those affected by the storm and helped distribute products to attendees.
The former president, in addition to criticizing her for the ‘staged’ photo, harshly criticized Harris for letting Americans drown.
“Biden and Harris abandoned Americans in Afghanistan,” Trump’s post continued.
“They sacrificed Americans for an open border and now they have left them to drown in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and other parts of the South.”
Biden said he hopes to visit areas devastated by Hurricane Helene this week as he defended spending the weekend at his beach house when the storm hit.
“I told the governor of North Carolina that I will go and I hope to be there on Wednesday or Thursday, when it is clear to me,” he told reporters at the White House.
“I am committed to traveling to the affected areas as soon as possible, but I have been told that it would be harmful if I did so now,” he said.
—I was in charge, I was on the phone for at least two hours yesterday and the day before yesterday as well. I ordered, it’s called a telephone,’ said President Joe Biden
The president became defensive when asked how he was managing while spending the weekend at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach as the hurricane devastated parts of the South.
—I was in charge, I was on the phone for at least two hours yesterday and the day before yesterday as well. I ordered, it’s called a telephone,’ he said.
He noted that he spoke with the governors of Georgia and North Carolina, two of the states most affected by the storm.
Roads and I-64, a major interstate, have been washed out in some parts of these areas, making it difficult to transport needed supplies. Local and federal officials, along with the National Guard, are rushing to provide help.
More than 460,000 people are without electricity and more than 1,000 have taken refuge in 24 shelters.
Search and rescue teams from 19 states and the U.S. government have converged on North Carolina, Gov. Roy Cooper said, adding that some roads could take months to repair.
Damage estimates ranged from $15 billion to more than $100 billion, insurers and forecasters said over the weekend, as water systems, communications and critical transportation routes were affected.
Property damage and loss of economic output will become more apparent as officials assess the destruction.
About 2.7 million customers across the South were without power Sunday, a U.S. Department of Energy official said, down 40 percent from Friday after record storm surge, fierce winds and dangerous conditions stretched hundreds of miles inland.
