Megyn Kelly: Wasn’t ‘Aware You Can’t Attack Black Journalists’

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly shredded the idea that people cannot question or speak to black journalists a certain way.

Apparently some people have the idea that human beings should not be treated the same based on the color of their skin or gender, and this ruffled Kelly’s feathers and she shredded the idea on her Sirius XM radio show.

“To me, it’s so funny. All [of the] white liberals being like, ‘Ah! He’s horrible.’ And then you had actual black people all over Twitter, watching it posting videos of themselves watching it and tweeting about it being like, ‘And?’… He goes into the lion’s den and this reporter Rachel Scott from ABC News, decides to open up the event with the nastiest question she could dream of. And I will just tell you as a journalist who has asked Trump very hard questions, I thought this was grossly inappropriate. It’s not a presidential debate. That is not how you begin an interview. He does not – unlike a presidential debate – have to be there. There’s an understanding of presidential debates in the primary contest that you will be there, at least back then when it was unclear he was going to win it anyway. This is an interview, he doesn’t have to be there. Kamala Harris wasn’t there. He’s doing you a courtesy showing up. So you can ask some tough questions, but there should be a crescendo and decrescendo. And by the way, the question should be fact-based and she put a lot of non-facts in her question as though they were true. So I did have a problem with what she did, though I liked tough questions as a general principle…” the host said.

“I wasn’t aware as a journalist myself of the rule that you cannot attack black journalists. I’m just now finding this out that they are too fragile, I guess for us to call them names. Does the black skin make them just completely weak and unable to take criticism because that’s not true of the amazing black journalists I know. And that I’ve worked with, I don’t know who she’s talking about,” she said.
