Megyn Kelly slams Hillary and Bill Clinton's marriage, claims ex-president is neither loving nor faithful
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: On a recent episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show', Megyn Kelly expressed her candid views on Hillary Clinton's marriage to Bill Clinton, stating, "Hillary Clinton has a very weird — and I think — s****y marriage."
She elaborated, “I don’t think she has a husband who is in love or faithful to her, and I think I can’t really blame him because she seems to have accepted this behavior since the inception of their marriage,” as per The Wrap.
Megyn Kelly criticizes Hillary Clinton's parenting and Chelsea Clinton's marriage
Megyn Kelly also shared her thoughts on Hillary Clinton’s parenting and Chelsea Clinton’s marriage to Marc Mezvinsky, stating, “And so past is prolog, you’re going to get what you tolerate. What you permit you promote.”
She remarked that Hillary "spent her daughter's entire upbringing working, whether at the law firm, in the White House, or running for office.
In her critique, Kelly asserted, “And Chelsea Clinton is not a nice person, and I think really is just sort of getting along based on the family name at this point,” adding that Chelsea may have married a wealthy man but is “struggling in her own right.”
Kelly added, "Hillary's in a loveless marriage. She likely doesn’t have many genuine friends, just people who are glamorous," implying this is why Hillary feels compelled to write another memoir and seek validation through media appearances.
Kelly stated, "So she absolutely has to write a fifth memoir, go on MSNBC, and be told she’s amazing and that she matters."
The Clintons' relationship has been under scrutiny for years, especially during Bill’s 1992 presidential campaign when he acknowledged "marital wrongdoing" in response to allegations of infidelity.
At the time, Hillary famously defended her husband, stating, “You know, I’m not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette. I’m sitting here because I love him and I respect him and I honor what he’s been through and what we’ve been through together, and, you know, if that’s not enough for people, then heck, don’t vote for him.”
The Clintons' journey through scandal and commitment
In 1998, Bill Clinton admitted to having a sexual relationship with Gennifer Flowers during testimony linked to other accusations. He also had an affair with Monica Lewinsky, which was revealed through taped conversations with Linda Tripp.
Despite the challenges, both Clintons have expressed their commitment to their marriage. During the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Bill reflected on their journey together, stating they had "built up a lifetime of memories."
Hillary recently revealed in a CBS interview that there were times she questioned if their marriage would last, saying, "And, you know, one day I’d wake up and say, ‘OK, no, I’m done,’" but ultimately decided she wanted to invest in their relationship.
“Another day I’d wake up and I’d say, ‘I’ve got to keep trying to see this through and figure out what is it I want and what is it I feel right about, and how do you rebuild trust, and how do you rebuild the relationship — and is it worth it? Is it something I want to invest in?’ And when I went through all of those questions, the answers were ‘yes,’ ‘yes’ and ‘yes,’” she added.
Their daughter, Chelsea, has built a successful career, with roles at McKinsey & Company, Avenue Capital Group, and as a special correspondent for NBC News.
She has also served on the boards of the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative since 2011 and is an adjunct assistant professor at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health.
