NPR CEO Katherine Maher faced tough questioning during a DOGE hearing in the House this week. Notable figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Brandon Gill were critical of her. Maher's inability to recall her past tweets drew attention, as did her comments about a book on reparations which she claimed to have not read.

During a segment on the Gutfeld! show, guest panelist Kennedy criticized Maher. Kennedy's remarks were direct: “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.”

Kennedy further commented on Maher saying: "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.' How was that book? 'I have no idea, never read it, probably…'"

Eric Abbenante shared a clip of Kennedy's comments on Twitter on March 28, 2025. The clip was highlighted for its humor and for comedian Joe DeVito's closing remark. Kennedy is currently filling in for Gutfeld! regular Kat Timpf, who is on leave after having a baby and dealing with breast cancer.
