• Megyn Kelly Slams Media For Ignoring Accusations Of Doug Emhoff Hitting

    Political commentator Megyn Kelly slammed the media for ignoring a story that was published this week about accusations that Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, hit a woman he was dating in the face because he
    thought she was flirting with another man.

    “Look, people have marital problems, and they make bad decisions when they’re married to people that they don’t love,” Kelly began. “However, banging your child’s nanny and impregnating her is in a special league of its own.”

    “I think most of us would have left it alone if he hadn’t then paraded
    himself out there and let the media parade himself out there like he was the ideal husband on steroids, like he is the new version of what it means to be
    a real man … and should really be the role model for my boys and yours,” she continued. “F that. I want my boys to be like my husband, who did not bang
    the nanny, nor impregnate another woman while married to me, or ever. It’s
    just insane that they tried to sell us this lie.”

    Kelly then showed a clip of former Biden-Harris official and current MSNBC
    host Jen Psaki declaring in a recent interview with Emhoff that he had “reshaped the perception of masculinity.”

    She then highlighted this week’s story from the Daily Mail detailing accusations that he hit the woman, only identified in the story as “Jane,” in the face.

    He “actually smacked an ex-girlfriend in the face, either a smack or a
    punch,” Kelly said. “That this super guy who’s redefined toxic masculinity actually beat a woman that he was dating prior to Kamala. The Daily Mail reports that he did not respond to requests for comment on the article. What does that mean? There’s not even going to be a denial? I guess they’ll get around to it, just an allegation right now, but let me tell you, take some
    time today to read that Daily Mail report, because it’s incredibly detailed with several friends of the very successful attorney that he was dating, his alleged victim, going to the Daily Mail, providing records to the Daily Mail, speaking in great detail about the call that the abuse victim alleged [sic] made to them after he smacked her in front of other people, in front of
    French valets over there in Cannes, France.”

    Kelly concluded by saying that she hoped that Pskai “wasn’t aware of” the allegations when the interview occurred.

    “I’m sorry, if this were a Republican, it would be leading every news
    channel,” Kelly said.

    And she wasn't even a hot nanny. Just like the nanny Schwarzenggar
    banged and impregnated. What is it with these guys? If you're going to
    cheat on your wife and father a child outside of wedlock, at least make
    it worthwhile and find a hot girl to do it with.

    "I think most of us would have left it alone if he hadn't then paraded himself out there and let the media parade himself out there like he was the ideal husband on steroids, like he is the new version of what it means to be a real man... and should really be the role model for my boys and yours,"

    Not just that, the legacy corporate media are actually pushing this doughy-faced nerd as America's new sex symbol.

    She then highlighted this week's story from the Daily Mail detailing accusations that he hit the woman, only identified in the story as "Jane",

    "I'm sorry, if this were a Republican, it would be leading every news channel," Kelly said.

    Well, she's absolutely right about that. Look how big a story they made
    (and continue to make) out of Trump just talking about how women
    *consensually* allow him to fondle their genitals because he's a
    celebrity.

    If he was out there doing it against their will or clocking them in the
    face when he got mad, it would be wall-to-wall coverage. But the media
    won't even acknowledge it when it's a Democrat.

    I’ve never liked Franken, but did he actually do anything wrong? I remember him taking a picture pretending to grope a sleeping woman that he was
    nowhere near. That’s an incredibly stupid thing to do but was that it?

    Yes, that was about all that happened, but it was enough to create a
    stir that led to him leaving office. I never thought he should leave
    office over of it. It was obvious he was playing to the camera so at
    worst he did something a bit boorish but certainly nothing worth
    leaving office over.

    Franken's sin wasn't sexist imo, but ribald. I.e., it didn't demean
    women any more than a woman grabbing *his* butt would demean men. But
    the country's mood was to capitally punish anything to do with gender.

    Agreed.

    women any more than a woman grabbing *his* butt would demean men.  But
    the country's mood was to capitally punish anything to do with gender.


    No, that's not it. LeAnn Tweeden (most people don't even bother to
    mention her) complained about it simply because she was a right wing
    pawn. But the general consensus is to give credence to the victim, and
    then dickhead Kirsten Gillibrand picked up the torch and Franken didn't
    have the spine to deal with and thus resigned.

    Franken's sin wasn't sexist imo, but ribald.

    Agreed.

     I.e., it didn't demean
    women any more than a woman grabbing *his* butt would demean men.  But
    the country's mood was to capitally punish anything to do with gender.


    No, that's not it.  LeAnn Tweeden (most people don't even bother to
    mention her) complained about it simply because she was a right wing
    pawn.  But the general consensus is to give credence to the victim, and
    then dickhead Kirsten Gillibrand picked up the torch and Franken didn't
    have the spine to deal with and thus resigned.

    Given the video, I don't recall that Tweeden's credibility was an issue.

    She's a right wing asshole, by definition they have zero credibility.
    It should have been an issue.
