Megyn Kelly is coming under fire for comments she made Wednesday on her podcast where she attempted to downplay Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse.
Kelly was interviewing conservative journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon when she made the dubious claim about the disgraced financier, which she attributed to “somebody very, very close to this case who is in a position to know virtually everything. Not everything, but virtually everything.”
Kelly said the unnamed source told her they didn’t think Epstein was a pedophile, just “into the barely legal type, like, he liked 15-year-old girls.”
She elaborated on what that meant, and you are forgiven if you feel like you need a bath after reading her rationale (which she insisted were “facts,” not an “excuse”).
Kelly said her source said Epstein “wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.”
