Megyn Kelly blasts media’s softball coverage of Doug Emhoff after explosive accusations revealed
Megyn Kelly roasted Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff on Wednesday following a Daily Mail report alleging details of an incident in which he publicly punched a woman he was dating.
The former Fox News host slammed Kamala Harris’ husband’s softball treatment in the media after The Daily Mail reported that Emhoff got into a fight with a woman he was dating during a previous relationship, according to friends of the woman.
“If this was a Republican, he would be running every news channel,” she said.
Kelly praised the story as “incredibly detailed” and mocked the establishment media for ignoring the report.

Kelly also mentioned another Daily Mail exclusive revelation that Emhoff cheated on his first wife, Kirsten Emhoff, with his child’s nanny and got her pregnant.
“Look, people have marital problems and make bad decisions when they’re married to people they don’t love… but hitting your kid’s nanny and getting her pregnant is in a league of its own,” Kelly said .
Kelly mocked Emhoff for “showing himself” as the “ideal husband on steroids” and “the new version of what it means to be a real man.”
“F-that,” Kelly said, pointing to an interview Emhoff did with MSNBC host and former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki.
Psaki praised Emhoff for “reshaping the perception of masculinity” due to the fact that he could become a man to be a president’s wife.
“It’s funny… I’ve always been like that, my dad was like that, for me it’s the right thing to do,” Emhoff said of “supporting women” and defending their rights.
Psaki labeled Emhoff a “proud wife” and gave him her support.

Emhoff did not respond to requests for comment about the allegations detailed in the story published by the Daily Mail.
Kelly praised the reporting: “God bless them. Because they’re actually watching these stories, other people are too low to check them out.”
Emhoff has a reputation as a supportive, fun-loving admirer of his wife in Washington, DC, but recent reporting suggests there may be more to the story.
The Second Lord recently relented podcast interview that his motto in life was ‘stay angry’.
“That’s how I approach everything,” he said. “I approach it in sports, I approach it as a lawyer and I approach it in politics.
‘Whatever you do, you must keep the fire. It’s not really anger, it’s just that passion, that fight… eye of the tiger, stay angry, stay angry, you have to fight for everything.’
He was referring to his angry reaction after a protester stormed a stage where Harris was speaking at an event during her failed presidential campaign.
The furious Emhoff jumped onto the stage and placed his hands on the protester, attempting to help security push the offending man off the stage.
“I’m that guy who, as a 55-year-old man, jumped on that stage and jumped on that stage in San Francisco when someone tried to take her microphone,” he said. “That’s actually the real me.”
