TTV presenter Megan Kelly wants CNN to fire another anchor Don Lemon after speaking publicly about the 51-year-old Nikki Haley. During his morning show on CNN, he said she wasn’t in her prime and caused co-host poppy Harlow go off the set. As a result, the host was only benched for a few days and relegated back to the show after a lengthy apology tour. So, Megan Kelly has a massive problem with this and has made it crystal clear on her own show. Remember that Megan Kelly was already fired out FoxNews and other outlets for various scandals.
Kelly said this on her show: “Do women matter? Is our offense significant to CNN or does someone have to grab a breast for us to count, Chris light? That’s my question for you. It shouldn’t be that you were raped by a man, or 21 women come forward and claim that they were sexually harassed by a man, or that they were inappropriately touched by a man for their offense to matter. We have seen person after person fired for causing offense, mere offense, when it comes to race, sexual orientation or gender identity. Does insulting women matter? … Because this guy [Don Lemon] managed to piss off half the country. It’s not left or right.”
Megyn Kelly’s history with the “Me Too” movement
Those who are unaware Megyn Kellys special story with the #MeToo movement, let’s give you a little reminder of the story. FoxNews owner Roger Ailles got away with sexual assault and sexual misconduct for decades. She was the one who decided to come forward and accused him of his behavior. In many ways, Kelly was one of the key figures in the #MeToo movement, which began taking down powerful men who abused women in many different walks of life. One can understand their anticipation when CNN decides not to fire Don Lemon for his comments.
