Conservative radio host Mark Levin lashed out at Megyn Kelly for her contentious interview with Donald Trump backer Newt Gingrich, admonishing the Fox News host not to "pretend to be a journalist."
His takedown Wednesday began with criticism of media mogul Rupert Murdoch's two sons, James and Lachlan Murdoch, as "liberals" who are "ruining that network," and then called out Kelly for being "out of control."
"Megyn Kelly pretends to represent women," he fumed, referring to a sexually explicit 2010 interview with Howard Stern. "She’s not some leader of some feminist movement. She's hardly in a position to be representing anybody."
He also charged Kelly "set a fuse" when she confronted Trump at the first GOP primary debate Aug. 6, 2015, quoting Trump's previous attacks on women.
"She was so obsessed with Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump and things that were said back and forth, she set the stage for what became month after month of vicious personal, nasty attacks, and she's doing it again," Levin said, referring to her Gingrich interview Tuesday night.
“There was no news. There was regurgitation — 14 days before an election,” Levin said of the face-off.
"She is auditioning, in my opinion, for a bigger forum . . . whether it's 'Good Morning America' or the 'Today Show' or even CNN — and a huge payday. Fine. But please don't pretend you're a journalist."
