SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly and Blaze Media’s Allie Beth Stuckey criticized MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Monday for not challenging Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff regarding the assault allegations against him.
In a report from early October by the Daily Mail, three acquaintances of Emhoff’s unnamed ex-girlfriend alleged that he slapped her during a confrontation fueled by alcohol in 2012. During “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the two political commentators addressed Emhoff’s recent interview with Scarborough, in which he dismissed the allegations as merely “a distraction” after Scarborough remarked that former President Donald Trump was disseminating “tabloid stories” about Emhoff.
“He doesn’t care about women at all. This is the same side that’s trying to tell us that’s why we have to have ‘reproductive freedom.’ That’s why trans women are women because ‘we the Democrats’ are the party of women,” Kelly said.
“Yeah and supposedly that’s one of their biggest gripes with Donald Trump is the allegations against him,” Stuckey responded. “Which, you know, there are a lot of accusations against Donald Trump and I’ve never heard an accusation quite like the one against Doug Emhoff. Which, as you said, is recent and has also been corroborated by eyewitness accounts.”
Beth reiterated Kelly’s sentiments, asserting that the allegations warranted at least one inquiry from Scarborough, and expressed disapproval of the host for minimizing the significance of the accusations.
“So I think that that is worth at least one question. Instead he even preempted the answer by saying, ‘Oh you know these tabloid reports and, you know, very salacious things that Donald Trump is saying.’ Going ahead and getting him off the hook by saying, ‘I know these accusations are false I’m not even going to spell them out,” Stuckey continued.
“I won’t even give him the opportunity to defend himself. I’m just going to say that they’re false.’ That is evil, that is stupid, the arrogance — the ends justify the means completely for these people,” Stuckey added. “They have no right to call themselves journalists.”
