NPR CEO Katherine Maher found herself in the hot seat during a DOGE hearing in the House, as she faced a barrage of questions from Congress members. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Brandon Gill weren’t shy about holding Maher accountable.
Strikingly, Maher seemed to have a selective memory regarding her own progressive tweets over recent years. She even tweeted about reading a book on reparations but admitted during the hearing that she hadn’t actually read it.
During Thursday night’s Gutfeld! show, guest panelist Kennedy took aim at Maher with her trademark wit. Her remarks were reminiscent of her sharp critique of Joy Behar from The View just a couple of weeks earlier.
Referring to Maher, Kennedy remarked:
“She’s a dumb blonde. She is such a basic bitch. She’s like – It’s August 15th, I can’t wait for Pumpkin Spice season. And it’s like, she obviously hates black people, because she has no reading comprehension for these black authors. And she just virtue signals like – Oh my God, I’m so busy and so important but I’m literally taking the day off to read this book about reparations because it’s so important and I’m going to tell you all about it. It’s like, hey how is that book? I have no idea, I never read it. Probably stupid.”
Witnessing Kennedy’s performance is even more entertaining, as she employs facial expressions and voice modulations to amplify her point. Be sure to catch the clip for a witty punchline from comedian Joe DeVito at the end.
“Kennedy does not hold back with her description of NPR CEO Katherine Maher:
Kennedy: “She’s such a basic bitch. She just virtue signals ‘Oh my god I’m so busy and I’m so important. I’m going to tell you all about it’

Kennedy is proving to be an exceptional fill-in for Gutfeld! regular Kat Timpf, who is currently on maternity leave and bravely battling breast cancer.
