Political commentator Megyn Kelly said this week that she is genuinely scared of the far-Left candidate that Vice President Kamala Harris chose to be her running mate.

Kelly made the remarks on Wednesday after Harris revealed on Tuesday that she had selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) to be her running mate. Walz is so radical that a far-Left pro-terrorist group cheered Harris for making the pick.

“He’s the most radical they could find on the trans issue,” Kelly said. “As I said yesterday, he’s another Gavin Newsom. There’s just almost no daylight between those two – if any, at all – which is an issue very important to me personally, and my audience as well.”

“This guy scares me,” Kelly continued. “He scares me because he actually could become the vice president and potentially the president. And I’m gonna be honest with you and the audience. I watched him last night, and I thought he was amazing. He is a spectacular speaker. He was charming. He had that rally in the palm of his hand. He’s way more effective than she is, or Joe Biden is.”

“And I genuinely feel like for the first time that I can remember, had like a feeling of fear rise up in my throat,” she added.

“Because I know what he’s permitting in Minnesota when it comes to children. … Nothing compares to what we’re doing to minor children. I get emotional over it. This isn’t gonna happen to my kids. My kids are good. This isn’t about a personal thing for me, it’s about everybody else’s kids. I care about children. And he is pedal to the metal, full steam ahead on all of it. So when I watched him dazzle last night – I’m not going to vote for him, I’ve been honest about that – but I recoiled. … I see why she chose him. He’s great and he’s better than she is in his rhetoric.”

Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham’s new book “Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda” hit the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists on Wednesday after the book was released last week. 

“Shepherds for Sale” reached the #12 spot on the New York Times bestseller list and the #109 spot on the USA Today list among all books, competing with new releases such as Jonathan Haidt’s “The Anxious Generation” and Erik Larson’s “The Demon of Unrest.” It’s the first time Basham has hit the bestseller lists.  

“Seeing ‘Shepherds for Sale’ hit the New York Times bestseller list is incredibly encouraging,” Basham said. “Despite Big Eva and today’s establishment powerbrokers’ efforts to dismiss the truth exposed in the book, Christians all over the country are waking up. There is a hunger for genuine biblical truth and newfound courage to resist conforming to the world’s gospel of leftism. Thank you to everyone who has backed this book and embraced this vital discussion.” 

The book, which hit the shelves at the end of July, “documents how progressive powerbrokers — from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration — set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes.” Basham’s book quickly jumped to the #1 bestseller in the Christian Church Leadership category on Amazon. 

“Shepherds for Sale” also details how a megachurch pastor pushed fellow pastors to move their views on sexuality to the Left and how leftist talking points on climate change and “systemic racism” have crept into American churches. Following the book’s release, Basham urged evangelical leaders to “get serious about tracing the secular Left influences in any number of evangelical institutions.” 

Basham’s book caused a stir on social media after its release as some of the evangelical leaders exposed in “Shepherds for Sale” have pushed back against the Daily Wire reporter. One pastor, Gavin Ortlund, even released a podcast episode on Basham’s book after she highlighted some of his troubling comments on climate change in “Shepherds for Sale.” Despite some pastors’ efforts to discredit Basham’s work, many Christians have heaped praise on the book.

“When church leadership does not know who is behind an organization, they should not agree to sign their public statements or participate in their coalitions. Also, the time for politely ignoring what is going on has come to an end,” Basham said. “It is time to follow the model of J. Gresham Machen in the 1920s and begin to directly call out compromise, capitulation, and infiltration. As he has stated, liberalism is an altogether different religion than Christianity.”
