With regard to Trumps impact on white nationalists and the so-called alt-right movement, the Fox News host said that it was a a dangerous game to empower them, as clearly has happened.I mean, Steve Bannon is the chief adviser to our president-elect, and I understand the argument that hes just a provocateur and he comes up with these crazy headlines and they want clicks, but if you look at whats happened to Breitbart [News] over the last three years, its shocking, she observed. This is something else entirely, and I dont know that Trump can stop it. I dont know who, if anyone, can stop it. I think right now the answer is for good people to exercise their own voice and their own power.

There are a lot of people in our society who have had it with PC culture and I, Terry, am one of those people, she opined to Gross. I think we have gone too far into the PC culture, but theres a limit to how far we can take that.
He was given a permission slip for everything he said and did because of that. The gradations of what was appropriate or not seemed to get completely lost, Kelly added. But I would submit to you that Trumps history of comments on women go well beyond the line, if you look at them in their entirety, past the normal backlash to PC culture.

Ms. Kelly has been at the forefront of this for sometime, and I find that interesting. She has not been silenced by Murdoch.
