Megyn Kelly recently criticized David Muir for wearing a bright yellow coat with clothespins attached to it while reporting on the California wildfires. During the broadcast, a social media user pointed out that Muir’s jacket appeared to be cinched with clothespins, leading to comments about the vanity of his appearance amidst the tragic situation. Kelly expressed her disdain for Muir’s “pretend fireman’s jacket” and questioned why he was concerned about his appearance while people were suffering. Comments from other social media users echoed this sentiment, with one firefighter explaining that firefighter gear is meant to fit loosely for safety reasons, implying that Muir’s attempt to look fitted was misguided. the incident sparked a lively debate online regarding the appropriateness of Muir’s presentation given the gravity of the circumstances.

Kelly responded to the trending video early Thursday morning.
“The abject vanity,” Kelly wrote on X. “Why is he wearing a pretend fireman’s jacket to begin with? Bc he’s an actor performing a role. Which makes the waist-cinching clothespins in the back perfectly on brand.
“Ppl are dying/losing everything & he’s worried about how svelte his waist looks. Can you imagine Anderson Cooper/Rick Leventhal/Steve Harrigan doing this?” Kelly wrote.

Just a little nugget of advice from an actual firefighter. Our bunker gear is meant to be worn a bit loose. It provides a moisture, air, and heat barrier that prevents contact burns. So, to intentionally try to make it tighter to show your 15 min abs makes a true FF chuckle.
