NBC host Megyn Kelly said President Trump is being hypocritical for condemning Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., for sexually harassing and assaulting a woman.
“Who that has been accused of sexual assault would have the gall to preach to others about sexual misconduct. How infuriating that would be. How tone deaf, Mr. President,” Kelly said on NBC’s “Today” show Friday morning.
Trump had tweeted Thursday night that Franken should not be advocating for respect of women.
“And to think that just last week he was lecturing anyone who would listen about sexual harassment and respect for women. Lesley Stahl tape?” Trump wrote.
Kelly and Trump have had a turbulent relationship since a presidential debate in September 2015. After the debate, Trump said Kelly, one of the Fox News moderators, was so unhappy to be questioning him that she looked like she had “blood coming out of her” eyes and other body parts.
