Megyn Kelly tears into media for ignoring reports of Doug Emhoff allegedly hitting girlfriend

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has presented himself as a “supporter of women” — except when he’s “slapping them in the face or banging the nanny,” according to Megyn Kelly.

The host of the SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” weighed in on the fallout from recent revelations first published in DailyMail.com about an alleged incident in which Emhoff physically assaulted his then-girlfriend because she was said to be flirting with another man.

Emhoff has not commented on the latest allegations.

“If this were a Republican, it would be leading every news channel,” Kelly said on her show on Wednesday.

Kelly said that Emhoff sleeping with his child’s nanny and impregnating her “is in a special league of its own.”

She said that “most of us would have left it alone if he hadn’t then paraded himself out there and let the media parade himself out there like he was the ideal husband on steroids” or “like he is the new version of what it means to be a real man.”

Kelly made reference to a recent MSNBC interview in which host Jen Psaki fawned over Emhoff for his “role in reshaping the perception of masculinity” despite his having acknowledged being unfaithful to his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, by impregnating his child’s nanny.

The DailyMail.com report also alleged that Emhoff told his then-girlfriend who was the victim of the purported assault in May 2012 that he admitted to getting the nanny pregnant and that the nanny claimed his “aggressive” behavior toward her caused her to have a miscarriage.

Emhoff is reported to have told this then-girlfriend that his marriage to Kerstin Emhoff ended because she filed for divorce after learning of the affair with the nanny, Najen Naylor.

Emhoff divorced in 2009. He married Kamala Harris — then the attorney general of California, now the vice president — in 2014.

The latest allegations undercut the image Emhoff has cultivated as a supporter of women, according to Kelly.

Kelly blasted media outlets for failing to give the story widespread coverage. She said reporters would have been more aggressive in pursuing the story if the subject were a Republican.

“What happened there? Any enterprising media would want to know the answer if this were somebody with a last name Trump or Vance,” Kelly said.

“If this were a Republican, it would be leading every news channel. Reporters would go figure out what they had on their hands.”

Kelly praised DailyMail.com for “actually looking into these stories that other people think are too beneath them to check out” while noting that “‘respectable’ news outlets wasted no time reporting on Stormy Daniels and whether she said Donald Trump wore a condom.”

“That is apparently not beneath them.”

Kelly also criticized the outfit worn by CBS News moderator Margaret Brennan during the debate on Tuesday night between the two vice presidential candidates — Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

“I’m sorry, she looked like she was stuck in 1992,” Kelly said, adding that Brennan was “absolutely terrible” for cutting off Vance’s microphone when he was “moving in for the kill” and “about to strike body blows” against Walz over immigration.
