President Donald Trump publicly voiced support for conservative commentator Mark Levin on Sunday as Levin’s heated dispute with podcaster Megyn Kelly intensified online.

In a post on Truth Social late Sunday, Trump praised Levin and defended him against critics, describing the radio host as a “truly Great American Patriot” who was “somewhat under siege by other people with far less Intellect, Capability, and Love for our Country.”

Trump continued by emphasizing Levin’s intellect and character, writing that Levin is “far smarter than those who criticize him but, above all, he is a man of Great Wisdom and Common Sense who truly loves our Country.”

The public show of support came as Levin and Kelly exchanged sharp personal attacks over the weekend. Their argument unfolded against the backdrop of a wider dispute among several prominent conservative media personalities — including Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, and Candace Owens — with disagreements touching in part on U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran.

Trump suggested that Levin’s critics were driven by resentment, accusing them of attacking the talk show host out of envy. He wrote that those targeting Levin were “jealous and angry Human Beings, whose ‘sway’ is much less than the Public understands.”

“Those that speak ill of Mark will quickly fall by the wayside, as do the people whose ideas, policies, and footings are not sound,” he wrote.

Trump then linked his support for Levin to broader foreign policy concerns, particularly the threat posed by Iran.

“THEY ARE NOT MAGA, I AM, and MAGA includes not allowing Iran, a Sick, Demented, and Violent Terrorist Regime, to have a Nuclear Weapon to blow up the United States of America, the Middle East, and, ultimately, the rest of the World,” Trump railed.

Levin responded warmly to the president’s comments, saying he was deeply moved by the message.

“Your courage, strength, and moral clarity are truly unparalleled. And your leadership has made our country and the world much safer,” the pundit wrote on X. “Both you and what you are doing deserve our support. And I will not be intimidated and bow to threats.”

The clash between Levin and Kelly intensified after Kelly shared a post from Drop Site News co-founder Ryan Grim. The post claimed that the suspect in last week’s synagogue bombing in Michigan had lost relatives in a recent Israeli airstrike.

Levin, who has been a vocal defender of Israel and a harsh critic of commentators such as Carlson and Owens, reacted angrily to Kelly’s post, labeling her “evil” and “diabolical.”

Kelly has taken a critical stance toward the military campaign conducted by the United States and Israel against Iran and has resisted calls from some quarters to condemn Carlson and Owens, who hold similar views.

The online feud escalated further Sunday morning when Levin posted a string of personal attacks directed at Kelly.

“Poor Megyn Kelly. An emotionally unhinged, lewd, and petulant wreck,” Levin wrote Sunday morning. “She’s completely revealed and destroyed herself.

“She’s everything people say she is, but much worse. Never an intelligent, thoughtful, or substantive comment. Utterly toxic.”

Kelly quickly fired back with her own response on social media, mocking Levin and accusing him of repeatedly targeting her in crude posts.

“He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible. Literally more than some stalkers I’ve had arrested. He doesn’t like it when women like me fight back.”

Levin currently hosts a program on Fox News. Kelly previously served as a primetime anchor at the network before later moving to NBC and eventually launching her own independent media platform.
