SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly guest Emily Jashinsky said NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo can “screw off” Monday after his “insane” take on the death of Laken Riley and illegal immigration in the U.S.
Despite the majority of Americans supporting the deportation of criminal illegal migrants, Cuomo on Thursday cited the politics around Riley and illegal immigrants as a reason why he refused to modify his views about the two major political parties. While discussing the NewsNation host’s response on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Jashinsky discussed the millions who crossed into the U.S. under the Biden administration with criminal backgrounds.
“He can screw off because it’s absolutely not fake. If you look at the numbers of people who cross into this country with criminal backgrounds that are not just people who have crossed the crime of crossing the country illegally and returning,” Jashinsky said. “If you look at people with histories of violent crime who have gotten into this country, there is plenty to sustain significant concern for that broader narrative that there are significant numbers of criminals who have entered our border.”
“If you talked about the way people who work in law enforcement, it’s sort of obvious that the open borders have been exploited by people who wish to do terror, people who wish to do great harm to the American people,” Jashinsky added. “In this case, to say that these are isolated anecdotes is absolutely insane. It’s where you actually can get that number spiraling out of control because it falsely gives people a sense of security that they should not have.”
Within President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that the agency had arrested 66,463 illegal aliens and removed 65,682 aliens, “including criminals who threaten public safety and national security.” According to ICE’s data, of the arrests already made, three in four illegal migrants arrested were criminal migrants with records ranging from assaults, DWIs or DUIs, to weapon offenses.

According to a March study conducted by the Pew Research Center, 97% of their 5,123 panelists who responded said they agreed with deporting illegal migrants who have committed violent crimes.
Prior to Jashinsky’s callout, Kelly slammed Cuomo.
“He’s trying to reinvent himself as a more reasonable alternative to what he used to be. He’s the same,” Kelly said. “He’s just trying to build an audience now with some occasional false moments of understanding the right wing. I stood out there for President Trump and endorsed him the night before the election in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I said Trump was getting hit because he said he would be a protector of women.”
“The Chris Cuomo’s of the world — his side of the aisle — jumped all over Trump, saying he was being somehow sexist in saying that and bringing up his past history with women when it comes to affairs and alleged inappropriate exchanges sexually,” Kelly added. “I stood up there and said what I believed, which was that he really would be a protector of women. I mentioned Jocelyn Nungari, the little girl down in Texas, 12 years old, who was sexually assaulted and murdered by illegals. And I mentioned Laken Riley.”
Riley, who had been a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student, was brutally murdered by illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra after being found dead at the University of Georgia campus in February 2024. The murders of Riley, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray and 37-year-old Rachel Morin sparked national outrage during the Biden administration, with some legacy media attempting to downplay the crimes committed by criminal illegal migrants.
“I’m sick of this guy’s bullshit,” Kelly said.
