Megyn Kelly hit out at First Lady Jill Biden as a "power-hungry aspirant" who is using the role of her "infirm" husband, President Joe Biden, so she can run a "shadow presidency."

Speaking with journalist Piers Morgan, Kelly blasted Biden for her Vogue cover, telling the British host that the First Lady was obsessed with the "affirmation of strangers" and used, among other things, her PhD to command "honorarium."

Kelly appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday night for a ranging interview but primarily to discuss the unfolding political situation in the U.S., in an appearance that has already raised 1 million views.

At one point Morgan asked: "What do you think of Jill Biden's role here and her responsibilities?"

In response, Kelly unleashed in a lengthy tirade about Biden, casting her as a villainous self-promoting player who is using her husband's position to make a play for "political power."
