"The Daily Show" has called out Megyn Kelly and other conservative voices in media who have taken swings at a new target in the culture war over gender: Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.

Amid ongoing conservative pushback surrounding transgender athletes in sports, this falsity has been perpetuated by outspoken figures such as Elon Musk, J.K. Rowling and former President Donald Trump.
