Megyn Kelly Defends Trump Against Chicago Protesters

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who has famously feuded with Donald Trump, came to his defense Friday night, saying the cancellation of the GOP presidential front-runner's Chicago rally amid raucous protests robbed him of his First Amendment rights.

In remarks on "The Kelly File," the host also argued those who came to hear the brash billionaire had their rights trampled too.

"For all these people know, [other attendees] weren’t Trump supporters," she said. "We’ll never know now because they shut down their right to listen to the frontrunner on the Republican side."

She then urged people to curb their anger and "lower the temperature."

Kelly's remarks were posted by Mediaite. 

Kelly also retweeted comments from Trump rivals Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

.@TedCruz: “America’s better than this. We don’t have to tear each other apart instead we can work together.” #KellyFile

And campaign dropout Ben Carson, who has now endorsed Trump, also criticized the protesters who triggered the shutdown.
