Megyn Kelly on Trump criticizing Franken: 'How tone deaf, Mr. President'

BY JOE CONCHA - 11/17/17 01:41 PM EST



Megyn Kelly scolded President Trump for criticizing Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) on Friday, asking how does the president have "the gall to preach to others about sexual misconduct?"

“Who that has been accused of sexual assault would have the gall to preach to others about sexual misconduct?” Kelly asked the studio audience on her NBC morning program. “How infuriating that would be. How tone deaf, Mr. President.”

Trump has been accused by at least 11 women of sexual harassment. He also boasted about groping women without permission in a behind-the-scenes leak of entertainment show "Access Hollywood" that The Washington Post obtained in October 2016. He apologized for the video but denies other accusations.

On Friday, Trump took Franken to task on Twitter for reported allegations against the senator. A 2006 photo came to light on Thursday documenting the senator grabbing radio anchor Leeann Tweeden's breasts while she was sleeping during a USO Tour trip to the Middle East. Franken has apologized.

What a moron. Every time an accusation comes up against anyone the first thing anyone will think of now is "how come Trump can get away with 22 accusations and not be subject to same standard??"
