Megyn Kelly Helps Kasich Rehab His ‘Women Left Their Kitchens’ Comment
After Republican John Kasich started a kerfuffle by saying “women left their kitchens” to support him, “straight news anchor” Megyn Kelly helped smooth things over for him. She also conveniently overlooked Kasich’s recent signing of a bill defunding Planned Parenthood in his state that women might have disliked.
At the beginning of her friendly interview with Kasich last night, Kelly played a clip of his town hall remarks that caused a stir.
KASICH: How did I get elected? I didn’t have anybody for me. We just got an army of people who – and many women who left their kitchens to go out and go door to door and put yard signs up for me all the way back when, you know, things were different.
Kelly quickly moved to let Kasich know that she’s a different kind of woman – at the same time that she also let him know that she’s a pal – with a self-deprecating joke. “I can certainly say that if it were my husband, he’d say, ‘For the love of God, get out of the kitchen! No one wants you in here! You do bad things in here!’” she quipped.
The two shared a chummy chuckle.
