Megyn Kelly can’t stand President Obama’s comments about Fox News.
During Monday night’s episode of The Kelly File, the Fox News host gaped at the fact that Obama “can’t seem to get over” the fact that there exists a network that will criticize him.
Kelly was specifically referring to Obama’s swipe at Fox during his interview on the WTF podcast with comedian Marc Maron that dropped Monday.
“The problem is that there’s this big gap between who we are as a people and how our politics expresses itself,” Obama said during the interview. “And part of that has to do with gerrymandering and super PACs and lobbyists and a media that is so splintered now that we’re not in a common conversation. And the fact that, you know, if you watch Fox News you inhabit a completely different world with different facts than if you read [the] New York Times.”
Kelly complained that the president has “taken many shots” at Fox throughout his time in the White House, exclaiming, “he can’t seem to get over the fact that we are here.”
“You want to look at him and say, we’re here. We’re clear. Get used to it,” she said later. “He doesn’t want to accept that there is a channel that will criticize him. I realize that many people feel it’s too much criticism. But really, has Fox News been proven wrong on every single subject? That’s what the left wants you to believe. That Fox News just invents stories and that’s what we exist to do.”
Former chief speech writer to President George W. Bush Marc Thiessen insisted that Obama is using Fox News as a “scapegoat” amidst his paltry approval ratings, while Democratic strategist Robert Zimmerman suggested that Kelly “get out more” because Obama’s comments aren’t evidence of an “attack” on Fox.
