LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Megyn Kelly on Monday, August 26, brutally bashed a Washington Post column by Catherine Rampell that called Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff a “modern-day sex symbol.”

Megyn Kelly calls article on Doug Emhoff ‘disgusting'
Megyn Kelly criticized Catherine Rampell’s piece, noting, “This is very interesting. It’s by Catherine Rampell of The Washington Post. The piece is, ‘Doug Emhoff, Modern Day Sex Symbol.’”
She also referred to Rampell’s previous critical piece about Kamala Harris’s economic policies, stating, “You know who Catherine Rampell is? That name may ring a bell because she’s the one who wrote the piece ripping Kamala’s economic plan to shreds on the price gouging, saying, ‘This is ridiculous when they’re accusing you of being a communist, maybe don’t propose communism as your economic plan,’ and she got killed by her readers on the left.”
Kelly continued to express her disapproval of Rampell’s latest article by highlighting Emhoff’s controversial personal history. She claimed, “So, a week later, she writes this drivel, trying to rehabilitate herself on the left, about the current second gentleman, a man who may I remind you cheated on his first wife with the nanny whom he impregnated. They either aborted the child or he abandoned the child. Either way, no bueno.”
