Cruz Accuses Megyn Kelly of Asking ‘Mainstream Media Liberal’ Question
http://www.breitbart.com ^ | 08/25/15 | Ian Hanchett

Texas Senator and Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) accused Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly of asking “the question every mainstream media liberal journalist wants to ask” and “the question Barack Obama wants to focus on” on Tuesday’s “Kelly File” on the Fox News Channel. Cruz was asked about his support for ending birthright citizenship and whether this means he favors amending the Constitution, he answered, “Well, as a policy matter, Megyn, it doesn’t make any sense anymore, that people who are here illegally, that their children would have automatic citizenship. That what that does is it serves as an incentive encouraging people to break the law and come here illegally. And we ought to change that policy. Now, as you noted there is a legal dispute about the best means to do it. And there are serious scholars who argue that Congress could do it through statute defining what it means to be subject to the jurisdiction, the language of the 14th Amendment.

The democrat regime in DC is unleashing the illegal invaders of the south and overseas illegal immigrant in their war against Amercian citizens while an impotent go along to get along Congress sits on their hands in treachous abandonment of their duties of America's citizens. It is getting worse and worse as Cruz remark indicates; " Once we’ve secured the border, once we’ve actually proven we can do this, once we’ve stop the Obama administration’s policy of releasing 104,000 violent criminal illegal aliens in one year,..."

Someone made the mistake of telling Megyn she was cute when she was young.

Clarification -- it's not merely an accusation, it is a fact.

She tipped her hand at the debates. Her time at Fox is limited only by her contract buy-out provisions,

Well, she was auditioning for a ‘more mainstream’ network and move. Likely, her vaca was actually occupied with job interviews.

From a few recent articles, Roger Ailes may actually be ‘encouraging’ for her departure.

Cruz should man up and get used to it. Almost all the questions he’ll field are from the mainstream media.

I’ve lost all respect for Megyn Kelly and she’s no longer watched in my house nor is BOR. She, IMO, began to believe her own press. BOR, on the other hand, is just an arrogant know-it-all.

I lost respect for her after her backhanded comments about Sarah Palin a while back.

I lost all respect for her when she posed for GQ. I had thought more of her than that....mistakenly.

Reported on Thursday that Megyan Kelly’s show has LOST 361,000 viewers since her return on Monday, ouch, that’s gotta hurt her ego.

Now lets hope she loses that many this coming week..

If it continues to “bleed” like this she will be asking Trump to come on and boost her ratings.

A long, long time ago I actually thought Megyn Kelly was smart. I said was. No longer do I think that. Her ignorance, willful or not, is further proof that she ain’t nearly as bright as she thinks she is. And, by the way, Cruz is disappointingly squishy on the topic. Megyn reportedly is heading to CNN. I think she’ll fit right in over there.

This is not about Megyn Kelly.

This is about answering questions that you know are coming in a direct and clear way.

Nobody is doing that. So the question will continue to be asked.

For those who think Megyn Kelly is unfair, just wait until Candy Crowley or others start asking questions of the GOP candidates.

This is childish whining about Megyn Kelly.

Since when is stating a Truth considered an “accusation”?

“Cruz should man up and get used to it. Almost all the questions he’ll field are from the mainstream media.”

What are you talking about? Cruz didn’t whine about the question, he called her on it.

The LA Times reported the opposite...

“The Kelly File” delivered 3.1 million viewers on Monday, the program’s largest audience of the year and more than the rest of the cable news competition on CNN, MSNBC and HLN combined in the 9 p.m. Eastern Time hour, Nielsen data showed. Kelly was also the cable news leader in the time slot among the 25-to-54 age group most desired by advertisers for cable news programming, scoring 603,000 viewers.”

Excuse me but Fox portrays themselves as “Fair and Balanced”. Megyn Kelley should not come across like Candy Crowley who is anything but “fair and balanced”.

SO WHAT?

She asked if he would deport "citizens"? She said herself the children were citizens.

He's supposed to be this brilliant constitutional lawyer, doesn't he know YOU CAN'T DEPORT CITIZENS?

Cruz is not worthy. He's a lightweight, whiney, crybaby. He always looks like he's just been scolded.
