Media personality Megyn Kelly and her guest criticized those who are holding on to COVID-19 mandates, saying they are engaging in “class warfare.”
On Tuesday, while speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM, Callin app co-founder and All-In podcast co-host David Sacks asserted that the current movement of truckers protesting with convoys in major cities across the world is revealing the lack of connection between those who make laws and those who have to live them out.
“We have this ruling class who is a crusading class,” Sacks said. “They are so hell-bent on imposing their will and their values and their edicts on the working class, on the American people or the Canadian people. They’re even hell-bent on imposing it on foreign lands.”
Kelly mentioned that Facebook shut down the Convoy to D.C. group and that the Canadian Freedom Convoy recently had its GoFundMe campaign canceled.
“[Political elites] really do look down on people who don’t have exactly their academic pedigree or background,” Kelly said. “[The elites] really do think that they are a bunch of dumb rubes who cannot be trusted to live their own lives the way they see fit — that Justin Trudeau knows better. And they attempt to write off these people who are protesting for freedom … as if they are nothing, and meanwhile, the movement grows.”

The Freedom Convoy’s GoFundMe page was shut down last week before GiveSendGo offered to sponsor the group. The new fundraising campaign netted $2 million on its first day and had reached more than $7.5 million in four days.
“This is a type of class warfare in which the professional class, these elites, these experts, whether they are in government or Big Tech — they think that the other side [is] a bunch of deplorables and [that] it’s OK to cancel them, to deny them their speech rights, to steal from them and to starve them out,” Sacks said. “These are the tactics they are willing to use.”
Kelly said she was reminded of the 2016 presidential campaign moment when Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it” and “a basket of deplorables.”
Sacks noted that such elites who want to separate out anyone who disagrees with them are “fanatics” and that “their own self-conception of being these very liberal and open-minded and tolerant people is very at odds with the reality.”
“We’re seeing more and more examples of speech censorship also being applied to financial decisions and financial deplatforming,” Sacks said. “If you think it’s bad to deny people to online speech, it’s going to be even worse if you deny them access to a livelihood, to making a living.”

Sacks added that the division is coming from the ruling elite but that “they cannot see the way their own decisions are contributing to the problem.”
