Megyn Kelly crushed dreams on her Fox News show Tuesday night when the anchor broke the news to U.S. Senate hopeful Annette Bosworth that she had lost her race.
Bosworth was gunning for the win in Tuesday's GOP primary in South Dakota, and was under the impression she was appearing on Kelly's "The Kelly File" to discuss her campaign strategy against opponent and former South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds.
Instead, Kelly kicked off the interview by reporting that Bosworth had lost to Rounds with just 6 percent of the vote.

"That’s news to me . . . I didn’t know that," Bosworth awkwardly responded. "Really, I found out on national television."
"I'm sorry to break the news to you," Kelly said.
The week soon got worse for Bosworth when she was arrested a day after her primary loss and charged with perjury and
allegedly filing false election documents, The Associated Press reported.
"The election complaints received by the Secretary of State involve conduct that is serious, deliberate, and must be addressed in order to preserve the integrity of our elections," South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley said in a statement. "Because this is a federal elected office, I have and will continue to discuss the investigation with federal authorities."
Bosworth, 42, called the charges "a political intimidation scheme" at a press conference Wednesday, the AP noted.
