For people feeling sorry for Megyn Kelly

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by petronius (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

Where was she and the people feeling sorry for her when the Dixie Chicks were being destroyed?

1. Trump is way out of line. It's not really about feeling "sorry."

You don't have to like Megyn, or even think that she's a decent human being, to object to Trump's treatment of her.

don't you think that trump is a monster created by fox. He is obviously going to do monstrous things. When he does them to liberal woman, fox hounds holler in delight. When he does it to them, should that not serve as an opportunity for megyn and fox to take some responsibility for their unpatriotic attempt to destroy freedom of choice and freedom of expression (yes they could al frankin to court and tried to sue him for freedom of expression).

But Trump is the one out of line here. That doesn't excuse Megyn Kelly of being a dishonest mouthpiece for the right-wing agenda. I still object to using sexist slurs against her.

about us means that I'm happy their monster is directing attack back at them - INSTEAD of a progressive.

when bush stole the whitehouse, fox enabled it.

when john Kerry, someone who actually volunteered for viet nam was swiftboated, the fox apparatus including Kelly enabled it. That bothers me more than anything trump can ever call Kelly.

being treated the way Trump and his supporters are treating her.

She asked him a fair question at the debate, calling out his sexism out - “You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” and asking: “Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?”

I appreciated that question from her. I don't feel sorry for her - she's not a *victim*. Trump's behavior is despicable and I support her as far as standing against him goes.
