Journalist and podcaster Megyn Kelly blasted and mocked the First Lady for using her “doctor” title.
Recently, Kelly went to Twitter and slammed Jill Biden after a game day announcer at the San Francisco 49-ers game introduced Doctor Jill Biden.
During the time, Jill was sitting in box overlooking the field.
The incident became controversial after former Fox News host pointed out that Dr. Jill Biden’s use of the title is “phony and nothing more than an ego boost,” Daily Mail reported.
In the tweet, Kelly said, “Announcers for this Eagles-49ers game just spotted the First Lady in a box and of course call her ‘Dr. Jill Biden.’ Wonder if she realizes what a wannabe she looks like insisting on this fake title. Get a real MD or just work on your self-esteem,” Kelly tweeted.
The tweet went viral and garnered about 4.3 million views within a matter of hours with netizens, agreeing that Biden’s was indeed self-aggrandizing.
“What do you mean she’s not a doctor? Whoopi Goldberg thinks she is. ‘I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general. … [Y]eah, she’s a hell of a doctor.’ Goldberg, March 4, 2020” Mark Hayman wrote on Twitter.

“So my PhD is pretty cool then. I never thought of it that way, like owning it longer than all these MDs. I always thought they were the real Drs and I was kind of just posing when I mentioned that I had one,” Seth Frantzman added.
“I’ve never heard of any other politician with a PhD or similar degree in the US routinely being referred to as ‘Dr’…but if it happens I’d be interested,” he continued.
Another netizen also argued that as “someone who has a PhD, and is also a strong conservative, just can’t understand this battle. Don’t care if it’s a medical doctor, Doctor of Philosophy, doctor of theology, or what, the title has been earned through vigorous academic study. Find another rant,”
In a report published by Daily Mail, it was revealed that “Dr Biden holds two master’s degrees and a doctorate in education from the University of Delaware. During President Biden’s eight years serving as vice president she was a full-time English professor at Northern Virginia Community College. Prior to moving to Washington DC, she taught at a community college Delaware, at a public high school and at a psychiatric hospital for adolescents.”
