And right-wingers call liberals "snowflakes"?? Megyn Kelly just couldn't handle Dr. Jill Biden being called "Dr. Biden" and so had an utter Twitter meltdown.

See Kelly's hall of fame tweet for pettiness here: https://www.comicsands.com/megyn-kelly-jill-biden-doctor-2659329483.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=sand

Megyn Kelly Gets Brutal Reminder After Melting Down Over Jill Biden Being Called 'Dr.'

How petty can she be?

Comic Sands
@georgetakei "Dr. Biden" is her correct title. It would be inaccurate to call her anything else...
@georgetakei
And they demand that Sebastian Gorka be called by his educational title Dr. Gorka.
@georgetakei
Women with brains seem to be triggering for right-wingers.
@georgetakei Megyn Kelly melted down over a black Santa. Megyn Kelly is just gonna Megyn Kelly.
@georgetakei Those who could never get a PhD criticize those who can
@georgetakei Besides she's just a hack failed reported
@georgetakei Megyn Kelly opposed parental leave until she got pregnant. Her opinions have no value.
@binaryequation @georgetakei just to be clear…this is NOT the only reason her opinions have no value, right? Lol

Why are GQP members so angry, about so many things? They think that liberals are snowflakes. They're pissed about a coffee shop's name. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/30/woke-restaurant-conservative-backlash-connecticut

@georgetakei
She counts on the people who watch her to be a stupid as she is
Many people do not know, but in the UK, a medical doctor is called Mr. or Ms.
Only PhD’s are allowed to use the title of Dr.

@SueInRockville @georgetakei

Sorry that's not correct, or at least a simplification.

In the UK medical doctors (who actually hold two degrees but not a PhD) are titled Dr.

It's only surgeons whose title is Mr. or Ms. as originally they were 'barber surgeons' so more of a trade than a profession.

@georgetakei Get this: Megyn’s father had the exact same degree that Jill Biden has, and he was referred to as Dr. !

@rubenbolling @georgetakei
The true test of a person is the child they raise.
@georgetakei in a twist of irony Megyn has a JD (which is a law doctorate) and I wonder if she’d be willing to forego being henceforth acknowledged as a doctor of jurisprudence

@georgetakei ah, right wing anti intellectual bias coming to the fore.

Dr Jill Biden has a doctorate. She is entitled to use the honorific if she wishes to. As do others when referring to her.

@georgetakei Honestly, it seems like the entire right wing philosophy boils down to wanting people to cater to their extremely limited range of education and life experiences. They get so freaked out by anything they haven't personally experienced or learned about.
@georgetakei Remember when you thought Megyn Kelly was relevant, but then realized you were wrong?
@georgetakei If I earned a doctorate from even Chuckles Clown College, I would bang pots & pans leading a parade announcing “I’m a doctor now!” & force all of my loved ones & acquaintances to call me “doctor” every day.
@georgetakei I can just imagine her meltdown if she watches an Indiana Jones movie.
@georgetakei She's so jealous of Dr. Biden, isn't she?
@georgetakei Right-wing snowflakes melt into a fragility puddle when they see rainbow flags.
@georgetakei It’s far more legit to call Jill Biden doctor then it is to call Megyn Kelly a journalist.
@georgetakei And Kelly's father has the exact same degree as DOCTOR Jill Biden! Why isn't academia at large ripping these people new ones?
@georgetakei Megan Kelly is in no danger of being called Doctor any time soon. 😄
@georgetakei All of this over there’s not a chance she will ever be able to get a PhD in #FAUX lies!!!!
@georgetakei Valentino Rossi’s title is both honorary and completely earned.
@georgetakei I know who Dr Biden is, even as an Australian. But who’s this Miss Kelly person?
@georgetakei one could almost feel sorry for Megyn, if not for the fact that she is such a bitter, mean spirited and petty person. But, she is what she is.

@georgetakei

So Kelly thinks "Dr."is like referring to oneself as a "journalist"?

😶

@Mr @georgetakei
I may be wrong, but last time I checked, most of the “journalists” At FOX has marketing or business degrees. I can’t remember a single one who actually had a degree in journalism.
@georgetakei She does have a PhD in education. So she’s a doctor.
@georgetakei Not just pettiness but sheer ignorance if Megyn Kelly thinks the title "doctor" can only be used by a doctor of medicine. But I doubt she would react equally dyspeptically to a reference to Dr. Einstein.
@georgetakei
❝Every Republican accusation is a confession. CHANGE MY MIND❞
@georgetakei Perhaps they should try reading books instead of banning them…maybe then they might earn their own PhD…No never mind, never gonna happen.
@georgetakei But at least she can distinguish between ”affirmed” and “reversed”
@georgetakei Better to accentuate the positive and ignore the irrelevant negatives. No need to keep perpetuating indignation and sensationalism.
@georgetakei Megyn is just jealous because her life is that much less fulfilling.
@georgetakei I’m guessing megyn was a mean girl in middle school.
