Trumper Carl Higbie Blames Megyn Kelly For Putting Words In His Mouth On Japanese Internment Camps
Former Navy Seal and avid Trump supporter Carl Higbie followed up his disastrous Tuesday night appearance on The Kelly File, where he justified creating a Muslim registry by using WWII Japanese Internment camps as precedent, denying what he said and blaming Megyn Kelly for "putting words out there."
Megyn Kelly outlined what happened Tuesday night and said, "You made a reference to the Japanese in WWII, and your position tonight is that that was not a reference to interment camps, right?"
Higbie feigned shock and said, "Oh, absolutely. I was quite frankly, I was actually shocked that you brought in internment camps."
He continued, "It was as reference to the scrutiny on immigration and the stopping of immigration and the registration of immigrants coming from place like Japan and Italy and Germany. Nothing to do with internment camps whatsoever."
Kelly countered, "You didn't say you were shocked."
Megyn then played the debate between the two from last night, where Higbie clearly references WWII Japanese internment camps.
She continued, "So I mean there wasn't shock expressed. You were saying, 'there's precedent for it' which is what got people confused, but I take you at your word if you're saying you were referencing something else. You were trying to make a different point."
People weren't confused, they were offended.
