‘Absolutely Disgusting’: Megyn Kelly Rips Article Branding Doug Emhoff a ‘Modern Day Sex Symbol’

Megyn Kelly tore into Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell for branding Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff a “Modern Day Sex Symbol” on Monday, calling her article “absolutely disgusting.”

“This is very interesting,” said Kelly on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, Monday. “It’s by Catherine Rampell of The Washington Post. The piece is, ‘Doug Emhoff, Modern Day Sex Symbol’.”

She continued:

You know who Catherine Rampell is? That name may ring a bell because she’s the one who wrote the piece ripping Kamala’s economic plan to shreds on the price gouging, saying, “This is ridiculous, when they’re accusing you of being a communist, maybe don’t propose communism as your economic plan,” and she got killed by her readers on the left.

So, a week later, she writes this drivel, trying to rehabilitate herself on the left, about the current second gentleman, a man who may I remind you cheated on his first wife with the nanny whom he impregnated. They either aborted the child or he abandoned the child. Either way, no bueno.

Kelly then read out an excerpt from Rampell’s article which described Emhoff as a “Progressive Sex Symbol,” “the modern female fantasy,” a “hunk,” and “a high-achieving alpha,” before reacting, “The media is absolutely disgusting.”

The article went viral last week and received criticism from conservatives in cable news and on social media.

“Emhoff is a sex symbol? I mean, this goes beyond reproach,” reacted Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, while Fox Business senior correspondent Charles Gasparino tweeted, “Translation: It’s so hot to knock up the nanny and pay for her abortion.”
