The Political Insider

The liberal media has been busy furiously leveraging Stormy Daniels’ accusations in a futile attempt to take down President Donald Trump, but NBC black sheep Megyn Kelly took different angle Sunday when she used Daniels to leverage herself.

During her interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” Sunday night, Daniels described a harrowing interaction with “a man in a parking lot” who threatened her when she first considered going public with her alleged sexual relationship with Trump:

“I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter,” Daniels told Anderson Cooper. “A guy walked up on me and said to me, ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.’ And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, ‘That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.’ And then he was gone.”

It’s unknown who allegedly threatened Daniels, but Kelly thought the exchange “sounded familiar” to an encounter she had with former Trump campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. So, of course, Kelly decided to tweet about it – and plug her book in the process.

Kelly shared an excerpt from her book, “Settle For More,” in which she claimed that Lewandowski tried to threaten her into no-showing the second Fox News presidential debate. “Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, made a phone call to Bill Sammon and tried to get me booted off the debate team,” Kelly wrote. “When Sammon told him that was out of the question, Lewandowski threatened me, saying I’d had a ‘rough couple of days after that last debate,’ and he ‘would hate to have [me] go through that again.’ The tone was unmistakable.”

Oh, Megyn. Your narcissism is showing.

This is ridiculous. Not only has Kelly made Daniels’ claims all about herself, but she also inadvertently implicated Lewandowski as the man who threatened Daniels and her infant daughter in a parking lot. That’s not an accusation to throw around lightly, and it’s certainly not something an upstanding, unbiased journalist would do.

But, if all the stories about Kelly are true, she’s neither upstanding nor unbiased.
