Megyn Kelly has a new defender in her corner as she heads towards a potential exit at NBC: Catholic League president Bill Donahue.
Donahue called out what he perceived to be a double standard at NBC in a lengthy statement on Friday. “Megyn Kelly was obviously not dropped by NBC because all the executives and hosts who work there are opposed to bigotry,” he said. “In fact, many of them like it. Indeed, they have been promoting it for decades.”
NBC News on Friday confirmed that Kelly is in talks to exit the network after defending whites wearing blackface for Halloween on the Tuesday edition of her “Megyn Kelly Today” morning show.
