Fox News’ Megyn Kelly got into a contentious back and forth argument with Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg Thursday afternoon over questions involving whether Obama administration officials deliberately misled the press and the American public on the Benghazi attack talking points. By the end of the segment, Kelly was uncharacteristically screaming at her guest to stop lying. “Come on, Simon!” she shouted. “Can we get some honesty?”
The discussion, which also included former George W. Bush speechwriter and conservative columnist Mark Thiessen, revolved around the recently-released emails from the White House that show just how the administration’s talking points were changed prior to U.N. ambassador Susan Rice‘s appearance on the Sunday talk shows.
Rosenberg immediately raised some ire in Kelly by suggesting that “we haven’t learned anything new” about the story in the last few weeks, suggesting that “we know that for several weeks afterwards the administration was confused about what happened” in Benghazi.
“No, they weren’t,” Kelly shot back. “We don’t know that.” On Press Secretary Jay Carney‘s assertion that only one word of the talking points were changed, Kelly added, “Maybe I’m just naive because I was still believing Jay Carney until I saw this evidence.”
When Rosenberg insisted that he didn’t think anyone in the administration purposefully misled anyone, Kelly raised her voice, asking, “You’re telling me Jay Carney was being truthful? He made a mistake twice in November and then again in May? Come on, Simon! It was not a mistake to say that it was only stylistic changes and only one word was changed. That’s not a mistake when we now know that the White House was the one meeting on this issue. Can we have some honesty? Wouldn’t it be so great?”

I can testify that women with children residing in their belly are a hair-trigger from eruption at any given moment.
I can’t stand Simon Rosenberg .
From Rosenberg??? Pfffffft!
PING!
Yes, the article does not say if she burst into tears afterward. #hormones
She’s pregnant? Cool.
She was great. We need more talking heads openly confronting liars like this.
“I can testify that women with children residing in their belly are a hair-trigger from eruption at any given moment.”
I’ll second that (also from firsthand experience). A lying leftist shouldn’t mess with a gravid beauty.

Indeed it would!
Well never cross an expecting woman, no patience for fools.
So when does Megan start sitting in the White House press conferences? ;) Go got em Tiger!
I’m on another FR thread about this.
If anybody can support what I remember from that day, it would be really helpful.

I also went back to Sept 11 2012 among my posts and couldn’t find the details.
I just know that I was online the evening of the Benghazi attacks, and the first thing I did was to search out the video. Literally within a few minutes of the “breaking news” that evening.
When I saw that the video only had a few hundred views and how retarded the video was, I discounted it as a factor and didn’t think to log or document it.
In retrospect, it wasn’t until a few days later that I found the AP story and the State dept’s news release.( on the Cairo protests)
All I can say is that when news of the Benghazi attack broke, the video lie was in play.
That’s what I remember.
If that is true, the re-writes of the talking points would reflect, not a last minute effort, but a desire to maintain a narrative that was previously established.
A narrative that was more than likely established by the State Dept.

Due to work schedule, I haven’t watched Megan in awhile and didn’t know she is expecting again.
So happy for her.
She is a very good host and I often think I couldn’t sit there or conduct an interview without exploding. I guess there are times even a professional can’t just sit through the BS from the left.
Megyn Kelly is a beautiful woman. She is even more beautiful without all the HD spackle she's forced to wear.
Looks to me like someone at mediaite is sensationalizing the Kelly/Rosenpunk exchange to drive traffic.
Explodes? Not even close.
Thank you.
