Megyn Kelly Dismisses Debate Criticisms: ‘If You Can’t Get Past Me How Are you Gonna Handle Putin?'
Mediaite ^ | 08/08/2015 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 08/09/2015 9:46:08 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly opened up for the first time this morning about all the criticism she and Fox have gotten about last week’s Republican debate, talking with MediaBuzz host Howard Kurtz.

And, basically, she took the high road, not necessarily singling out Trump but instead defending her tough questions and saying, “If you can’t get past me, how are you gonna handle Vladimir Putin.”

She explained that the goal was, for every candidate, to “drill down to their most vulnerable areas and then give them a chance to explain them” because these same things will most definitely resurface in the general election.

Kelly anticipated a few boos (which they got), but said of all the criticism, “It’s okay, I’m a big girl. I can take it.” Furthermore, she made it clear she didn’t want her male co-moderators being her white knights in case she came under attack.

As for supposed “gotcha” questions, Kelly said, “I don’t think that my history as a journalist supports bias on my part towards either party… When I'm ticking off both sides, I’m in my sweet spot.”

I would like to see Rush do a special 1 time primary event and pose intelligent, thoughtful questions to these following:

TED CRUZ
BEN CARSON
SCOTT WALKER
MARCO RUBIO
CARLY FIORINA

because these are truly the only 5 candidates worth being on the GOP conservative ticket who also qualify to be President. Donald Trump is great for ticking off the party, but he is NOT qualified to be President, although he could be Chief Adviser for JOBS creation!

SORRY if I am so blunt but these are critical times we face and we had better get serious and not get SIDETRACKED!

I have no problems with tough questions. I do have a problem of not asking Marco Rubio about the gang of 8 bill and ignoring Cruz for 40! straight minutes.

Yeah, that’s really great picture for so-called serious news anchor...*ROFL*

Was that picture in her resume for a news job or for a pole dancer job???

She knows she lost (the minute the crowd drowned her out cheering for Trump).

Did you see the look on her bimbo face when he turned it back on her?

I stopped watching fox in 2012. Fox will lose what’s left of conservatives if they continue featuring bimbos like Kelly. They have to know that a lot of guys are watching her because they generally agreed with her and she’s cute, but now she looks like the nasty barracuda ex-wife.
The trouble is that fox is run by those that support GOPe. The other networks support the overt commies. But we can see that the GOPe is a fraud, a wolf in sheeps clothing, and Fox News provides the clothing.

Love how she’s now reduced herself to faking illness AND lifting DU excuses. Trump scores another double shot.

Every time MeGyn talks, Trumps numbers get a little higher :)

I am wondering if she has lost her mind?

Otherwise, i am guessing Trump could easily handle Putin. He would certainly do a better job with Ayatolla of Iran? How about the President of Mexico? and how about Israel?

Will he snub Congress or write hundreds of EO’s?

Will he raise the debt 18 Trillion?

Will he incurage racial tentions is the US?

Will he openly lie about major bills in order to get them to pass?

But what she forgot is that Donald Trump is a billionaire — who has already had sex with, and married, and had children with, women who were far more attractive than she is. Far more attractive than she even was in her prime. So it never occurred to her that Donald would be anything but bedazzled by her looks: and she had no “Plan B” for when that fell through.

On the other hand, Jebster had that PW bedazzled look, and rushed to shake hands with the bimbo after the debate. She owned him.

If I were to say that Rupert Murdoch and the Bushes were pulling her strings, would the MSM interpret that as a menstrual reference?

Mega Kel-Lies should go back to being a lawyer. Then she could bimbo her way to win every case, lie, lust and smear all she wants and not have to fake being somewhat conservative. Heck she could star in a made for TV lawyer show paid for by old man Rupert her fawning puppet master and sugar grand-daddy.

Well, look what he's married to on the hot babe scale -- where would *you* rate her?

Is it really any surprise?

It’s revealing that she sees an enemy of the United States (Putin) as her co-equal.

Megyn you did not personally attack your little boy Jeb.....

You protected Jeb with softball questions.

How is that going to help Jeb with Putin?

Megyn I think you should wear your Jeb 2016 button when you moderate.
