Megyn Kelly puts reporter on blast for being 'intellectually incurious‘ to probe corruption claims against Joe Biden
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Megyn Kelly has unleashed all her fury at Washington Post reporter Philip Bump in her podcast, ‘The Megyn Kelly Show.’
She slammed the journalist for not even remotely questioning President Joe Biden about potential corruption charges in the Hunter Biden case.
The 52-year-old wasn’t pleased with what Bump said in another podcast about the lack of evidence against President Biden and his subsequent decision to not question him.
Kelly stated that “President Joe Biden was acting in his own self-interest and in the interest of his son” to get the Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired for investigating Burisma Holdings.
The former Fox News host was livid at Bump for not following through and asked her to “be a journalist” and do his job.
Megyn Kelly slams reporter for his lack of ‘curiosity’ in Joe Biden
Kelly had Emily Jashinsky, the culture editor of The Federalist, and Eliana Johnson, the co-host of the podcast Ink-Stained Wretches, on to discuss an embarrassing podcast appearance by Washington Post reporter Philip Bump on her show.
She played a small clip where Bump admitted that there was “no evidence that President Joe Biden acted corruptly” in the case of Burisma Holdings.
Kelly then pointed out that President Biden’s son Hunter was on board Burisma which only made the evidence against Biden stronger.
The former Fox News journalist mocked Bump for lacking spine and curiosity in asking pertinent questions to President Biden.
She mimicked Bump by saying, “I don’t know. I don’t know. I have nothing to say about it.”
Kelly then lashed out at Bump, asking him to show “some curiosity.”
She pointed all her rage at Bump and said angrily, “We’re asking you to do your job. Be a man. Be a journalist. Don’t embarrass yourself or your organization which we used to respect a long time ago.
Kelly didn’t stop here. She further criticized Bump by calling him an “embarrassment to his profession” and asked for him to show some “professional curiosity.”
She concluded her rant by calling Bump “weak” and “intellectually incurious” and asked him to end it.
