Megyn Kelly comes clean after many question Rumble for losing its feed during her Covid-19 question
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former Fox News and NBC star Megyn Kelly has finally cleared the air around the unnecessary controversy erupting around a brief period when the Rumble livestream was cut during the fourth GOP debate.
Kelly answered the burning question on everyone’s minds and revealed that “there was no conspiracy” or reason behind the stream going black for a while. It was however a technical glitch.
Many speculated that the stream was deliberately interrupted to not broadcast Kelly’s question about Covid-19 vaccines to GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
However, all doubts were cleared by Kelly and Rumble CEO, Chris Pavlovski who said that the glitch was a result of a third party.
Megyn Kelly addressed the brief interruption during the fourth GOP Debate
During the debate, Kelly asked Ramaswamy about COVID-19 vaccines and the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed program to develop them.
The veteran journalist was mid-sentence when suddenly the Rumble stream went off for a few minutes.
On her show, Kelly cleared, “One of my questions last night was about the vaccine injured, and apparently, unbeknownst to me, the feed blacked out on Rumble in the middle of the question,”
“I totally understand why, on that question, it would lead people to go into ‘whoa, who did that?’ mode.”

Even Jenna Ellis, a former Trump lawyer questioned the timing of the technical glitch by sharing a screenshot of the message that stated “We’ll be right back” rather than the debate on Rumble’s feed.
“Why did Rumble pause just when Megyn Kelly was asking about Operation Warp Speed and the Covid ‘vax’,” she asked in her caption
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski and Megyn Kelly offer clear explanation
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski offered a reasonable explanation about the brief interruption of the live feed. He said, “The stream on our end did not go down at all, but the feed coming in (the source feed from a 3rd party) failed for a few minutes when sending to us,”
“This is a different source that the TV channels got and we are unsure why the source to Rumble went dark for a few minutes.”
Kelly then revealed, “NewsNation had a problem feeding to the Spin Room as well on that question and maybe another one I heard”
The former Fox News star concluded, “I get it, but we just want to clear it up. There’s no conspiracy.”
