Megyn Kelly Defends Pete Hegseth in Hearings

Megyn Kelly criticized Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell for her comments regarding Pete Hegseth during his Senate confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense. Rampell suggested Hegseth's main qualification was his experience as a TV host, which provoked backlash from conservative strategist Scott Jennings and Kelly herself, who emphasized Hegseth's extensive military background. Kelly, who attended the hearings, expressed confidence in Hegseth's eventual confirmation and condemned the behavior of certain Democratic senators, particularly women, whom she labeled as 'hysterical fools.' She argued that their questioning tactics were unbecoming and embarrassed her as a woman. Despite potential opposition from some Republican senators, Kelly believes Hegseth will successfully navigate the confirmation process. Overall, she praised his performance and dismissed the critiques against him.
