Megyn Kelly Says Darline Graham Debate Answer Was ‘Disqualifying’

The Megyn Kelly Show/YouTube MAGA podcaster Megyn Kelly was “mortified” by Darline Graham’s embarrassing debate fail on Tuesday night.

On her podcast on Wednesday, Kelly, 55, commented on a clip of Graham, the sister of the late South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, being booed during a debate in her hometown of Newberry.

Graham, who was appointed to her late brother’s Senate seat at President Donald Trump’s request, was asked by co-moderator Greta Van Susteren about the national security implications of Taiwan and the South China Sea.

“I’m just going to be honest here...

I’m not that informed on national security,” Graham, 62, replied, prompting a score of jeers from the crowd.

“But I do support the military.” “I’m not a polished politician up here.

National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise, but I support the military,” she added.

Kelly was not pleased with the senator’s candid admission.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“I know she’s just pinch-hitting, but that’s disqualifying, is it not?” Kelly’s guests—Tom Bevan, Carl Cannon, and Andrew Walworth of RealClearPolitics—concurred.

“She didn’t get anything through osmosis from her brother about foreign policy, apparently,” Bevan said.

“I mean, that’s all he talked about!” “Not even through osmosis, not even through sitting in the Senate for the past couple of months,” Kelly agreed.

“I’m mortified by that answer.

It’s not really, exactly her fault, although she did accept the appointment.” “But has no one looked into whether she knows anything about politics, world events, international events?” she continued.
