Megyn Kelly shut down a Trump supporter who said Japanese internment camps were precedent for a Muslim registry

Megyn Kelly admonished a supporter of Donald Trump who invoked Japanese internment camps as precedent for a proposed registry of Muslims.

On Fox News's "The Kelly File" program on Wednesday night, Carl Higbie, a former Navy SEAL and spokesman and co-chair of Great America PAC for Donald Trump, argued in favor of the registry, which he compared to World War II-era Japanese internment camps.

Policy advisers to President-elect Donald Trump are reportedly considering creating a registry of immigrants who come to the United States from Muslim countries, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who reportedly is a "key member of Trump's transition team," told Reuters on Tuesday.

"We did it during World War II with Japanese, which you know, call it what you will, may be wrong," Higbie said, eliciting a sharp response from Kelly.

1. I don't see much "shutting down" going on here.

If they were really serious about not talking about this horseshit... They wouldn't have had this "SEAL" on here to begin with.

It's the whole defense attorney schtick of "working the jury". Blurt out some nonsense expecting an objection and then coyly say Oops with down-turned eyes.

BUT, IT IS OUT THERE! And, even if instructed by the Judge to ignore... The Jury won't.
