Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly torched her old network for being so gung-ho about President Donald Trump attacking Venezuela and forcibly removing its president, Nicolás Maduro.
“I turned on Fox News yesterday, and I’m sorry, but it was like watching Russian propaganda,” the conservative commentator said on Monday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM. “There was nothing skeptical. It was all rah-rah cheerleading, yes, let’s go.”
Noting that she “love[s] our military as much as anyone” and believes in Trump, Kelly argued that “there are serious reasons to just exercise a note of caution before we just get on the rah-rah train.”
“I have done that enough times in my career as a Fox News anchor to have been embarrassed enough to know I’m going to stay on the yellow light for this,” Kelly explained. “I’m not in the green-light territory. I’m not in the red-light territory either. But I am staying in the yellow-light territory for now.”
Kelly also questioned the Trump administration’s repeated argument that the assault on the South American country was not a military invasion, but rather a law enforcement operation to curtail drug trafficking.
