Megyn Kelly apologizes for defending blackface

NBC’s Megyn Kelly apologized Tuesday for asking if it was “racist” to wear blackface and defending its use if done as part of Halloween festivities when people “have the chance to make themselves look like others.”

“One of the wonderful things about my job is that I get the chance to express and hear a lot of opinions,” Kelly wrote in an email to colleagues. “Today is one of those days where listening carefully to other points of view, including from friends and colleagues, is leading me to rethink my own views.”
