Megyn Kelly Says ‘We’re In A Dangerous Phase Right Now’ (VIDEO)


Welcome to the Trump era, where the people who we once called biased and insane are suddenly sane. Especially when it comes to the media. Because it doesn’t matter if you consider yourself right- or left-leaning, if you say anything bad about the Donald be prepared for attack.

Fox News host Megyn Kelly knows all about that. In an interview with Fresh Air‘s Terry Gross, Kelly sounded warning bells about how Trump deals with criticism, especially from the media:

“I think it’s dangerous… People … need good, strong, skeptical journalists to be covering whoever it is — whether it’s Barack Obama or President Donald Trump — and we’re in a dangerous phase right now, where too many millions of Americans aren’t listening at all to what the press tells them.”

And while she is a notorious critic of the so-called “PC culture,” she’s also very receptive to the fears and concerns that minority groups have about a Trump presidency. When asked about it by Gross, Kelly responded:

“The relative lack of power of certain minority groups and the fear they’re feeling in the wake of Donald Trump’s election, I think, is something we really need to take a look at, because, while I don’t think Trump wants to target any particular minority group, I understand their fear, because he spent many months stoking it. And so I think that’s a legitimate thing we’re going to have to deal with and ask ourselves how far he can go in enacting certain politics that target specific groups.”

See what I mean? Totally logical and sane. And as a member of a the media, she’s entirely aware of how much stronger the alt-right white supremacist movement has become. And she’s scared by it too:

“It is also a dangerous game to empower them, as clearly has happened. I mean, Steve Bannon is the chief adviser to our president-elect, and I understand the argument that he’s just a provocateur and he comes up with these crazy headlines and they want clicks, but if you look at what’s happened to Breitbart [News] over the last three years, it’s shocking.”

Despite what are certainly major disagreements about many topics, I have to admit Megyn Kelly is smart. She’s also proven herself quite brave against a slew of attacks from not only Donald Trump, but also death threats from his rabid supporters.
