YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In the ex-Fox News anchor's most in-depth interview since leaving broadcast television, Megyn Kelly sounds off on Donald Trump's attacks against her — and how they impacted Fox News and its then-CEO Roger Ailes.

In the run-up to the 2016 election, she says Ailes "wasn't ready to just lie down for Trump." But then "Trump would continue to grow in power, and I think Ailes would get a little bit more deferential to him."

Kelly also weighs in on the Obama years and speaks about Hillary Clinton — whom she says "enabled" her husband Bill's behavior. "...The woman who would go into office, if [Trump] lost, was no saint either..." she says.

This interview was conducted by FRONTLINE’s Michael Kirk on October 3, 2019, during our reporting for "America's Great Divide: From Obama to Trump,” a four-hour special series on how America’s current polarization came to be. It has been edited for clarity and length.

Tune in or steam "America's Great DivideFrom Obama to Trump” on PBS on Mon., January 13 and Tues., January 14 at 9/8c.
