Megyn Kelly ‘disgusted’ by the ‘3-on-1’ debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump

Megyn Kelly – who made headlines with her tough questions of Donald Trump during his first presidential debate – sharply criticized ABC News anchors for their fact-checking of the former president during his argument with Kamala Harris on Tuesday.

The former Fox News host said after the debate that she was “disgusted” with David Muir and Linsey Davis for holding Trump accountable during the debate and calling him out on his lies. When Trump made the false claim that illegal immigrants were kidnapping and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, Muir was quick to note that the city manager had said there had been no such reports. When the topic turned to abortion and Trump falsely accused Harris and her running mate Tim Walz of condoning “post-birth executions,” Davis responded, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby post-birth.”

“I am disgusted,” Kelly said in a live video on her YouTube channel. “I am ashamed of these moderators at ABC News… Tonight on the debate stage it was three against one,”

She continued: “Trump did his best under the circumstances, but it was really like three fighters in the ring beating up an opponent. Trump tried to take on all of them. He did his best. He got knocked down so hard a few times that he unnecessarily defended himself and got angry – and so did I.”

Kelly accused Muir and Davis of fact-checking “everything” Trump said while going easy on Harris. She insisted on an oft-repeated Trump argument that the “head of ABC” is Harris’ “best friend.” Dana Walden, who is credited with being a matchmaker for Harris in her relationship with husband Doug Emhoff, is co-chairman of Disney Entertainment, which oversees ABC. “They followed Dana Walden’s orders tonight,” Kelly said.

“They are trying to rig this election,” she said. “They are openly working to bring down Donald Trump.”

Trump and Kelly have long had a more difficult relationship than the former president typically has with members of the conservative media. In 2015, while moderating a Republican primary debate for Fox News, Kelly rebuked Trump for his misogynistic comments about women. “You call women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, sluts and disgusting animals,” Kelly said.

Trump later responded by referring to Kelly’s menstrual cycle: “She had blood coming out of her eyes. Or somewhere,” Trump told Don Lemon, then of CNN.

Although Kelly said last year that the feud between her and Trump was a thing of the past – Trump appeared on her show last September for an hour-long conversation in which Kelly praised him for his answers to her debate question – Trump later called her “mean.”

“Megyn Kelly. May she rest in peace,” Trump joked to audible laughter at a campaign rally in Georgia in March. “She’s kind of making a career out of pretending to like me.”
