Christian Toto felt the need to rehash an old, dubious controversy in his June 7 Media Research Center column:
Megyn Kelly isn’t ready to forgive and forget.
The podcast superstar defied the Legacy Media last year by declaring Olympic boxer Imane Khelif a man.
Khelif competed in the women’s division during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The athlete pummeled several high-ranking female boxers en route to winning the gold. Khelif insisted, along with the boxer’s media allies, that he was a biological female.
That’s despite his extreme dominance in the sport and a disqualification from the 2023 International Boxing Association World Championships. One Olympic competitor, Italian boxer Angela Carini, quit after 46 seconds in the ring with Khelif.
She said she had never been hit that hard by a woman in her life.
Now, we’re learning about a leaked test that shows that Khelif has male chromosomes. A just-announced ruling says Khalif must take an updated genetic sex test before competing against women in the future.
Game. Set. Match. Kelly.
If you’ll recall, talk about Khelif’s sexuality during the Olympics centered around a supposed gender test conducted by the Russian-led International Boxing Association that she supposedly failed — but the IBA refused to make that test public. The leaked tests Toto is referring to were apparently the IBA tests, allegedly given to writer Alan Abrahamson, who does not publish the entirety of the tests, explain how he got them or reveal why the IBA has refused to officially release them. As such, it’s hardly definitive proof that Kelly has been vindicated, no matter how much Toto tries to misgender Khelif.
Despite that lack of definitive proof, Toto continued to whine that Kelly was criticized: ‘So don’t expect [Michael] Kosta, “The Daily Show” or Comedy Central to apologize to Kelly for getting the story wrong. It’s another reason consumers are flocking to Kelly’s broadcasts and tuning late-night propagandists out.” He concluded by touting how transphobic author J.K. Rowling “has Kelly’s back.”
