Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Monday night bashed media coverage of the Duggar family following allegations that Josh Duggar molested underage girls while he was a teenager.
After playing a CNN clip noting that several Republicans have posed for pictures with Josh Duggar in the past, Kelly lambasted the media for “trying to make this the problem of the Republican presidential field.”
“Bill Clinton was accused of rape. He has been accused by several women of sexually assaulting them,” Kelly said. “But the fact that a presidential candidate has posed with some random member of the family that’s going through this issue is somehow a problem for the GOP’ers?”
Fox’s Howard Kurtz, a guest on “The Kelly File,” said he was “disgusted by how some liberal media types are using what’s obviously a family tragedy to score political points.”
Kelly then lamented that law enforcement leaked Josh Duggar’s juvenile police records and criticized members of the media for still reporting heavily on the allegations.
“The media didn’t even pause and there is a question about why they were so excited to feast on this carcass,” she said.
“Well, sometimes people on the right feast on, when a liberal icon falls into trouble,” Kurtz responded.
Kelly also previewed her Wednesday interview with the Duggar family.
“This isn’t going to be a cross-examination of a family. It’s going to be an interview. I want to hear their story. And I think America wants to hear their story now,” she said.
Josh Duggar apologized and resigned from the Family Research Council last month after a 2006 police report detailing the allegations was leaked.
Watch the clip via Fox News:
Once you’ve admitted wrong doing and sought forgiveness, don’t the actions cease to be allegations?
Shut up, Megyn, Josh Duggar was the BMOC for the Family Researvh Council, an organization that these Republican leaders have whole-heartedly embraced. Gee, I wonder how hard hitting her interview with the 2 creepazoids at the head of that family will be.
This is merely the preview of what’s to come when Bimborella tosses softball after softball to the Duggar freaks.
I’m sure she will work Benghazi into the questions and blame everything on Obama.
Isn’t this the demand that got Josh in trouble in the first place?
Honey, when you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. The Republicans deserve every damned itchy bite they got.
