Sirius XM host Megyn Kelly warned that both Democrats and Republicans are planning to derail President Donald Trump‘s second term by going after his cabinet nominations.
Kelly said Pete Hegseth, who is battling to stay in the running for Secretary of Defense in the wake of unsubstantiated accusations against him, will end up as Matt Gaetz did. Then RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and others would be targeted next.
“If you don’t think they’re going to do this to RFK Jr., you haven’t been paying attention,” Kelly urged.
“I realize that Pete has his belly exposed. He has not led a perfect life, and there’s plenty if you want to start attacking his character in terms of his marital history and so on,” Kelly added. “But as he said to me yesterday, he found around 20, I think it was 18 or so, he found his two J’s: his wife, Jen and Jesus, and started changing his life in a profound way,” she further explained.
The host continued: “Let’s say they get Pete’s scalp like they got Matt Gates’s scalp, Bobby Kennedy’s history makes Pete look like the consummate Boy Scout. He looks like he’s ready to enter the priesthood.”
“He’s a lot older, with a lot more of a checkered past… It’s not going to be pretty at all.”
“So we are really at a crossroads here about whether we are going to sacrifice these nominees because of checkered personal pasts or not. It’s not going to get easier after Pete,” Kelly emphasized.
