Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Legitimizes ‘War on Women’ in
Question to Trump

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Fox News’
Megyn Kelly — who has been praised by The New York
Times for being a fair and tough journalist — went
after GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in the
beginning of the primetime GOP presidential primary debate on Thursday. However, when
the news anchor questioned the real estate mogul, she legitimized the “war on
women” mantra used by the Democratic Party to attack Republicans.
Kelly asked, “Mr. Trump,
one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don’t
use a politician’s filter. However, that is not without its downsides. In
particular when it comes to women, you’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs,
dogs, slobs and disgusting animals…”
Trump jokingly interrupted, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”
Kelly, instead of moving on with her question, decided to
take a dig in, “No, it wasn’t.”
She tried to continue asking the question, but the crowd was
applauding in appreciation of Trump’s joke.
Kelly again attempted a jab at Trump, “For the record, it
was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell.”
Trump responded, “I’m sure it was.”
Kelly continued, “Your Twitter account has several
disparaging comments about women’s looks. You once told a contestant on
Celebrity Apprentice that it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees.
Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as
president and how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton who is likely
to be the Democratic nominee that you are part of the war on women?”
Kelly’s decision to omit “so called” prior to “war on women”
is critical, as it suggests she legitimized the Democrat Party’s mantra,
which it has been using for years against Republican challengers.
Kelly, when discussing the Democrat’s alleged war on women
argument in the past, has called it a “so called war on women” often mocking
the Democrat Party’s argument.
For example, in 2014, Kelly – when
discussing Democrat Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) – ridiculed the war on women
argument in an exchange with Fox News’ Dana Perino.
“How about Dana – Colorado and Senator Udall – I almost said
uterus … that war on women narrative was used very effectively by the
Democrats. I remember going to the Democratic National Convention last time
around and they made their entire convention about the war on women – the so
called war on women … and birth control and so on and so forth,” Kelly mocked.

ReplyDeleteWho are these people who think nobody can say anything bad about them? White males are the only people that can be picked on? Spades, beaners, Kikes, dagos, chinks, bimbos, and pollacks. Did I leave anybody out. I wouldn't wan't anybody to be offended because they got left out. I don't think Megan is a bimbo but I reserve the right to call her a bimbo. Forgive me, I forgot Krauts.
