KIIS FM shock jock Kyle Sandilands SLAMS The Project’s Waleed Aly over anti-Kim Kardashian rant

Overnight The Project host Waleed Aly slammed Kim Kardashian after news broke that she has successful secured a presidential pardon by Donald Trump for a drug-offending grandmother in America.

And on Friday, KIIS FM’s Kyle And Jackie O shock jock Kyle Sandilands publicly berated the TV host for claiming Kim had ‘achieved nothing’ by the feat.

Kyle, 46, was clearly infuriated by Waleed’s comments, referring to him as a ‘hypocritical flog’, ‘whinging toad’, and ‘snowflake lefty’ during the segment.

 

‘What a hypocritical flog!’ KIIS FM shock jock Kyle Sandilands(L) SLAMS The Project’s Waleed Aly over anti-Kim Kardashian rant after she got Donald Trump to pardon jailed woman

The US reality sensation met with Trump last week to ask him to give Alice Marie Johnson, 64, a presidential pardon – which he granted. 

Kyle dedicated more than two minutes of the popular breakfast show to the fiery rant, with co-host Jackie Henderson also weighing in on the topic.

Giving context to listeners at home, Kyle began: ‘Kim does something good and Donald Trump pardons someone that we probably really shouldn’t be in jail for life… And Waleed Aly has a problem with it!’

‘Because he’s such a snowflake lefty, that he can’t bring himself to ever say Trump did something good or Kim Kardashian did something good. Not everyone has to be a university graduate, up-themselves flog to be a decent person – so lay off people!’ Kyle raised his voice as he got passionate about the subject.

Kyle added: ‘He thinks he’s right with everything, this bloke. I don’t mind the guy normally, but he gets on this soapbox and it pi**ses me off!’

The radio host also claimed he’s only on TV ‘flogging his own sh**’ and should ‘give credit where credit is due, rather than just being a whinging toad, whinging, wining, bi***ing and being snowflakey.’ 

Co-host Jackie Henderson agreed with Kyle for most of the chat, but insisted: ‘They can have opinions, that’s fair enough.’

Kyle quickly quipped: ‘He can have an opinion, but his opinion is stupid!’

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Channel Ten for comment.

The Project’s Waleed fumed that Kim had ‘achieved nothing’ with her involvement – claiming her actions only made the President believe he can ‘do things by pardons’.  

‘She’s actually achieved nothing. She’s achieved something for one person in one case. I reckon this is awful,’ Waleed said on Thursday’s episode of The Project.

‘You now have a president who effectively thinks he can do things by pardons. That’s the way he operates.’

He continued: ‘Everything goes through him. I’ll just make a decision, “you’re saved, you’re not. You’re free, you go to hell”.’

‘That’s the way it works [but] that’s the opposite of the way it’s supposed to work.’

His co-host Carrie Bickmore was equally unimpressed with Kim’s involvement, claiming it showed the President’s ‘attachment to celebrity’.

She said: ‘I feel for all the people who have been advocating on behalf of people for years… Kim just walks in, [and they decide] “OK, let her out”.’

Alice was jailed for life in 1996 for being part of a cocaine ring, despite having an otherwise clean record and violence not featuring in the case.

Alice had applied for clemency during Obama’s 2014 push to free non-violent drug offenders from jail, but her application was denied.

Trump met with Kim last week to discuss Johnson’s case in the Oval Office. 

The White House shared a picture of Kardashian and Trump, who was grinning from ear-to-ear, after the meeting that reporters were not allowed anywhere near. 

After Trump granted Alice freedom, Kim posted a story about her release with the caption: ‘BEST NEWS EVER!!!!’

‘So grateful to @realDonaldTrump, Jared Kushner & to everyone who has showed compassion & contributed countless hours to this important moment for Ms. Alice Marie Johnson,’ she said in a follow-up message. 

‘Her commutation is inspirational and gives hope to so many others who are also deserving of a second chance.’

She said: ‘I hope to continue this important work by working together with organizations who have been fighting this fight for much longer than I have and deserve the recognition.’
