SiriusXM subscribers are sounding off after Megyn Kelly’s controversial attempt to downplay Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse last week.
The MAGA-backing podcast host — in an episode last Wednesday — cited a source who she described as “very, very close” to the Epstein case who thought the late convicted sex offender was “not a pedophile” like someone into 8-year-olds but rather a person “into the barely legal type, like, he liked 15-year-old girls.”
“Whatever. It’s sick. Every time we start talking about Epstein, it makes your skin crawl. You’re right. The whole thing is just disgusting,” she later declared.
Kelly’s comments sparked widespread backlash on social media, including from users who threatened to — or claimed to — cancel their SiriusXM subscriptions over her take.
SiriusXM has yet to comment on the matter, as of Wednesday evening. HuffPost has reached out to the company, which did not respond in time for publication.
