Steve Bannon Once Told Roger Ailes That Megyn Kelly Was "The Devil"
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | April 21, 2017 | Patrick Shanley

"I told him then, I said, ‘She’s the devil, and she will turn on you,'" the Trump strategist reportedly said of Kelly.

President Donald Trump's chief strategist, Steve Bannon, has opened up about the rift between his political website Breitbart and Fox News — and he blames Megyn Kelly.

In a recent interview with Politico, Bannon said, "The big rift between Breitbart and Fox was all over Megyn Kelly. She was all over Trump nonstop.”

Kelly, who has since departed Fox News despite an enormous offer from the network, made headlines when she accused then-CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment in her most recent book. Ailes would later resign amid claims made by other female staffers at his network, including host Gretchen Carlson, who filed a lawsuit against him.

Bannon said that he had previously warned Ailes of Kelly before the incident. "I told him then, I said, 'She's the devil, and she will turn on you,'" the Trump strategist told Politico.

Kelly was critical of Trump during the Republican primaries, a fact that did not sit well with Trump himself who, in a fashion that has become typical for those that draw his ire, fired back on Twitter, lambasting her show and its ratings.

This week, Fox News was dealt a further blow as their No. 1 ratings magnet, host Bill O'Reilly, resigned amid sexual harassment allegations, much like Ailes before him. Longtime pundit and Fox News host Tucker Carlson has been picked to fill the now vacant primetime spot.

Megyn belongs at MSNBC, co-hosting with “the rev” Al Sharpton.

Well she is a self centered witch that will KNEEL her way to the top! Joke is on her though...I predice her program on NBC will be VERY low ratings, and she will fade into the dust not unlike Katie the cheerleader Couric did!

Kim Jong-Un, Putin, George Soros, Charles Manson, but Bannon thinks Megyn Kelly is the devil. That’s how French socialist effeminate nancy boys think. Imagine how much better his life would be if he had even one tiny speck of testosterone in his body.

Steve Bannon is very perceptive, I’d say.

I think the fact he didn’t mention them, but he mentioned someone doesn’t matter at all speaks for itself. He’s a little snowflake.

No, she never mattered. Not even one tiny bit.

Muslims could take over this country and you'd be yapping about Megyn Kelly. The left has corroded your brain and you've become their useful idiot.

Manson was just a generation ahead of his time. It took Obama to get where Charlie thought he could take the country.

Really? The woman that wanted to take out Trump at the first debate never mattered?

FU Charley. Throwing names around doesn't help your argument. I realize those with small brains think it does.

Good job showing us your mental capacity.......

“...Bannon thinks Megyn Kelly is the devil. That’s how French socialist effeminate nancy boys think.”

So Bannon thinks like an effeminate, French socialist?

You are embarrassing yourself.
