<p>During a podcast on Monday, Megyn Kelly called out celebrities who she said &#8220;stoked the fires&#8221; against Louisville Metro Police Department Sgt. John Mattingly and his family over his involvement in the Breonna Taylor raid.</p>
<p>Mattingly, author of &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/12-Seconds-Dark-Officers-Firsthand/dp/1956007016/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2VA12HVC79HHW&amp;keywords=12+seconds+in+the+dark+mattingly&amp;qid=1647308240&amp;sprefix=12+Seconds%2Caps%2C166&amp;sr=8-1">12 Seconds in the Dark: A Police Officer&#8217;s Firsthand Account of the Breonna Taylor Raid,</a>&#8221; told Kelly about what he called the &#8220;false narrative&#8221;  — driven by legacy media and celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, and even then- Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris — that took over the case. Mattingly, who was part of the raid, was shot by Taylor&#8217;s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, the night Taylor was killed.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/megyn-kelly-levels-jussie-smollett-in-post-sentencing-rant-i-dont-feel-sorry-for-him-at-all">Kelly</a> said Taylor&#8217;s death was &#8220;awful&#8221; and that no &#8220;one thinks it was justified.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Exclusive Breonna Taylor Raid Details, and Omicron Reality, w/ Sgt. John Mattingly &amp; David Leonhardt" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6adCijhL43w?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Kelly shared an Oprah tweet, which said, &#8220;that Louisville police entered her [Taylor&#8217;s] apartment unannounced.&#8221; The host noted that Mattingly calls this claim &#8220;false&#8221; in his book. &#8220;Alicia Keys is the one who tweeted out &#8216;say her name,'&#8221; Kelly added. &#8220;Millions and millions of shares. Tens of millions of people saw it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And even the now Vice President of the United States, she was running for office then, Kamala Harris, tweeted out &#8216;there are two systems of justice when peaceful protestors are arrested and the police who murdered Breonna Taylor almost three months ago still roam free,'&#8221; Kelly continued.</p>
<p>The former NBC host said it wasn&#8217;t just Harris, but George Clooney and rapper Snoop Dogg, too.</p>
<p>&#8220;As if Snoop Dogg knows absolutely anything about this case or any other,&#8221; Kelly explained, as she pointed out stars like LeBron James and Ice Cube who talked about the case.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was stoked by all these celebrities with tens of millions of dollars,&#8221; the former TV host shared. &#8220;I imagine you with 21 years of service under your belt do not have tens of millions of dollars. Or your kids&#8230;who were also getting death threats as all these extremely famous people stoked the fires against your family.&#8221;</p>
<p>At one point in the show, Kelly said she understood the book was to be picked up by Simon &amp; Schuster, who she said &#8220;had agreed to publish&#8221; it, and then they got &#8220;too afraid&#8221; and they pulled it.</p>
<p>&#8220;And the Daily Wire picked it up and is publishing it. Is that correct?&#8221; the host asked as Mattingly confirmed it was true.</p>
<p>Kelly said &#8220;thank god for Ben and Jeremy Boreing and the guys at Daily Wire.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And what cowards at Simon &amp; Schuster,&#8221; the TV host said. &#8220;What cowards&#8230; The climate on policing has changed considerably since their cowardice. People are realizing how important police are. What happens after you unfairly demonize them city after city and defund them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kelly said that defunding the police was something the &#8220;black community was never in favor of,&#8221; and it was only the Black Lives Matter organization and &#8220;white upper side liberals&#8221; who pushed it.</p>
<p>&#8220;The book&#8217;s not by Simon &amp; Schuster, it&#8217;s by the Daily Wire,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Support John, support the Daily Wire, buy the book.&#8221;</p>
