Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff has presented himself as a “women’s supporter” — except when he’s “slapping them in the face or hitting on the nannies,” according to Megyn Kelly.
The host of SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast weighed in on the fallout from recent revelations first published on DailyMail.com about an alleged incident in which Emhoff physically assaulted his then-girlfriend because she allegedly was flirting with another man.
Emhoff has not commented on the latest allegations.
“If this was a Republican, he’d be running every news channel,” Kelly said on her show Wednesday.
Kelly said Emhoff sleeping with his child’s nanny and impregnating him “is in a league of its own.”
She said “most of us would have left him alone if he hadn’t then paraded himself out there and let the media parade himself out there like he’s the ideal husband on steroids” or “like he’s the new version of what it means to be a real man.”
Kelly was referring to a recent MSNBC interview in which host Jen Psaki blasted Emhoff for “his role in reshaping the perception of masculinity” despite his admission that he was unfaithful to his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff. impregnating his child’s nanny.
The DailyMail.com report also claimed that Emhoff told his then-girlfriend, who was the victim of the alleged assault in May 2012, that he admitted to getting the nanny pregnant and that the nanny claimed his “aggressive” behavior to her caused her to have a miscarriage.
Emhoff reportedly told this then-girlfriend that his marriage to Kerstin Emhoff ended because she filed for divorce after learning about the affair with the nanny, Najen Naylor.
Emhoff divorced in 2009. He married Kamala Harris — then California’s attorney general, now vice president — in 2014.
Kelly blasted the media for failing to give the story widespread coverage. She said reporters would have been more aggressive in pursuing the story if the subject had been a Republican.
“What happened there? Any media outlet would want to know the answer if that was someone with the last name Trump or Vance,” Kelly said.
“If this was a Republican, he’d be running every news channel. Journalists would find what they got.”
Kelly praised DailyMail.com for “actually seeing these stories that other people think are too beneath them to see” while noting that “respectable” news outlets wasted no time reporting on Stormy Daniels and if she said Donald Trump wore a condom.”
“That’s apparently not beneath them.”
Kelly also criticized the outfit worn by CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan during Tuesday night’s debate between the two vice presidential candidates — Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
“I’m sorry, she looked like she was stuck in 1992,” Kelly said, adding that Brennan was “absolutely terrible” for cutting Vance’s microphone when he was “moving in for the kill” and “ready to hit the body”. v. Walz on immigration.
