Megyn Kelly's Deflection: Downplaying Epstein Emails Raises eyebrows among critics.
The conservative media host's reaction to the newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein's case files has sparked criticism, with many accusing her of trying to downplay the significance of the documents. While acknowledging that the emails "sound bad" for President Donald Trump, Kelly attempted to deflect blame onto Democrats' alleged attempt to weaponize them.
Kelly expressed surprise at why the emails weren't released earlier, stating that it would have alleviated some of the scrutiny surrounding Trump's connections to Epstein. She also took issue with the House Oversight Committee's decision to redact certain names from the documents, claiming it was a move by Democrats to play up the connection between Trump and Epstein.
However, many have criticized Kelly for her own handling of similar information in the past. In a bizarre rant about pedophilia and ephebophilia, Kelly claimed that she had previously believed Epstein's preference lay with "barely legal" girls aged 15, but not those as young as eight. She later clarified that he was more interested in the "young teen types" who could pass for even younger.
Kelly's statement about starting to believe Epstein was an "actual pedophile" after Attorney General Pam Bondi shared revelations raised eyebrows among her critics. Kelly has expressed skepticism towards Bondi's credibility on the matter, which some see as an attempt to shift attention away from Trump's alleged involvement with Epstein.
The controversy surrounding Kelly's reaction highlights the ongoing debate over how politicians and media personalities respond to sensitive information. Critics argue that Kelly's attempts to downplay the significance of the emails only serve to undermine the public's trust in the information being presented.

oh man come on Megyn, can't you just own up to the fact that Trump's got some serious baggage with Epstein? 
instead of deflecting blame onto others, why not take responsibility for your buddy's shady dealings? 
and btw what's with the bizarre rant about pedophilia? 
it sounds like a total non-sequitur. and don't even get me started on her criticism of Pam Bondi... like, is she really trying to make that woman out to be some kind of villain? 
. It's like, if she's really not trying to play politics with the situation, why is she making such a big deal about it? I get that she's trying to spin this in a way that doesn't make Trump look bad, but honestly, her track record on handling sensitive topics has been pretty sketchy 
.
. And now she's trying to say that Democrats are playing politics? That sounds like a pretty convenient excuse to me 
.
. meanwhile, trumps team is still doing nothing about the real scandal... what a joke 
. and honestly, if she had actual evidence that epstein wasnt a pedophile then maybe we'd believe her 
. That just doesn't sit well with me 
.
. Pedophilia is never okay, no matter the age range 
. It's clear Kelly was playing it way too loose on that one in the past 
. I'm not buying her excuse about starting to see Epstein as an "actual pedophile" after Pam Bondi shared some info 
. Newsflash, folks: we're onto you 
!
. She's basically saying it's Democrats who are trying to play up a connection that might not even exist... and then she goes on about how the emails "sound bad" for Trump, but still tries to spin them in his favor 
. The whole thing just feels like a masterclass in spin and PR 
.
. I mean i know she was trying to deflect blame but it just ended up lookin all shady 
. And now she's tryin to say that Pam Bondi was tryin to mess with her? come on Megyn, we ain't born yesterday 
.
. And now she's questioning Pam Bondi’s credibility? It sounds like a pretty convenient excuse to me
