Megyn Kelly criticized second gentleman Doug Emhoff on Wednesday following a Daily Mail report about alleged details of an incident in which he slapped a woman he was dating in public.
The former Fox News host criticized the media’s soft treatment of Kamala Harris’ husband after The Daily Mail reported that during a previous relationship, Emhoff had an altercation with a woman he was dating, according to friends of the woman .
“If I were a Republican, I would lead every news channel,” he said.
Kelly praised the story as “incredibly detailed” and mocked the establishment media for ignoring the report.

Kelly also brought up another Daily Mail exclusive revelation that Emhoff cheated on his first wife, Kirsten Emhoff, with their son’s nanny and got her pregnant.
“Look, people have marital problems and make bad decisions when they’re married to people they don’t love…yet, fucking your son’s babysitter and getting her pregnant is something special in itself,” Kelly said.
Kelly mocked Emhoff for “showing off” as the “ideal husband on steroids” and “the new version of what it means to be a real man.”
“Fuck him,” Kelly said, pointing to an interview Emhoff did with MSNBC host and former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki.
Psaki enthusiastically praised Emhoff for “reshaping the perception of masculinity” because he could man up to be a president’s wife.
“It’s funny… I’ve always been like that, my father was like that, for me it’s the right thing to do,” Emhoff said about “supporting women” and defending their rights.
Psaki called Emhoff a “proud wife,” giving him her endorsement.

Emhoff did not respond to requests for comment on the allegations detailed in the story published by the Daily Mail.
Kelly praised the report: “God bless you.” Because they actually investigate these stories, other people are too beneath them to check them out.
Emhoff has a reputation as a happy-go-lucky and supportive admirer of his wife in Washington, D.C., but recent reports suggest there may be more to the story.
The Second Gentleman admitted in a recent podcast interview that his life’s ‘motto’ was ‘stay crazy’.
“That’s how I deal with everything,” he said. ‘I deal with it by doing sports, I deal with it by being a lawyer and I deal with it by doing politics.
‘Whatever you do, you must keep that fire. It’s not entirely anger, it’s just that passion, that fight… eye of the tiger, stay angry, stay angry, you have to fight for everything.’
He referred to his angry reaction after a protester stormed a stage where Harris was speaking at an event during her failed presidential campaign.
The enraged Emhoff jumped on stage and put his hands on the protester, trying to help security push the offending man off the stage.
“I’m that guy who jumped on that stage, when I was 55, and jumped on that stage in San Francisco when someone was trying to take his microphone,” he said. “That’s really the real me.”
