Megyn Kelly roasted Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff on Wednesday following a Daily Mail report about alleged details of an incident where he slapped a woman he was dating in public.
The former Fox News host bashed the media’s softball treatment of Kamala Harris’ husband after The Daily Mail reported that during a prior relationship Emhoff got into an altercation with a woman he was dating, according to friends of the woman.
‘If this was a Republican it would be leading every news channel,’ she said.
Kelly praised the story as ‘incredibly detailed,’ and mocked the establishment media for ignoring the report.

EXCLUSIVE
Kamala Harris's husband Doug Emhoff 'struck ex-girlfriend' during drunken fight
‘Look people have marital problems and they make bad decisions when they are married to people they don’t love … however banging your child’s nanny and impregnating her is in a special league of it’s own,’ Kelly said.
Kelly mocked Emhoff for ‘paraded himself out there’ as the ‘ideal husband on steroids’ and ‘the new version of what it means to be a real man.’
‘F-that,’ Kelly said, pointing to an interview that Emhoff did with MSNBC host and former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki.
Psaki glowingly praised Emhoff for ‘reshaping the perception of masculinity’ due to the fact he could become man to be the spouse of a president.
‘It’s funny … I’ve always been like this, my dad was like this, to me it’s the right thing to do,’ Emhoff said about ‘supporting women’ and defending their rights.
Psaki branded Emhoff as a ‘proud wife guy,’ giving him her endorsement.

Emhoff did not respond to requests for comment about the accusations detailed in the story published by the Daily Mail.
Kelly praised the reporting: ‘God Bless them. Because they actually look into these stories other people are too beneath them to check.’
Emhoff has the reputation of being a supportive happy-go-lucky admirer of his wife in Washington, DC, but recent reporting suggests there may be more to the story.
The Second Gentleman admitted in a recent podcast interview that his life’s ‘motto’ was ‘stay mad.’
‘That’s how I approach everything,’ he said. ‘I approach it doing sports, I approach it being a lawyer and I approach it doing politics.
‘Whatever you do you gotta keep that fire. It’s not quite anger, it’s just that passion, that fight … eye of the tiger, stay mad, stay angry, you gotta fight for everything.’
He referred to his angry reaction after a protester stormed on a stage where Harris was speaking at an event during her failed presidential campaign.
The enraged Emhoff jumped on the stage and put his hands on the protester, trying to help security push the offending man off of the stage.
‘I’m that guy who jumped up on that stage, as a 55-year-old man, and jumped up on that stage in San Francisco when someone was trying to take her mic,’ he said. ‘That’s actually the real me.’
