Megyn Kelly airs images of ISIS fighters while Muslim dad of slain US soldier speaks to DNC

[image][/image]

Fox News host Megyn Kelly ignored a Muslim father speaking at the Democratic National Convention whose son was killed fighting for the U.S. and instead aired photos of ISIS fighters and commercials attacking Hillary Clinton over the terrorist attacks in Benghazi.

Speaking at the DNC on Thursday, Khizr Khan explained that his son was killed by a car bomb fighting in Iraq for the U.S. Armed Forces in 2004. Kahn also held up a copy of the U.S. Constitution and challenged GOP nominee Donald Trump to read it.

But viewers of Fox News only briefly saw Khan in a split screen without audio as Brit Hume and Kelly discussed Trump. Kelly then cut to a commercial blaming Hillary for the attacks in Benghazi while Kahn was visible in a split screen. After returning from commercial, viewers saw images of ISIS and a segment warning about the Islamic state.

As Media Matters noted, Kelly did find time at the end of her program to air several minutes of Katy Perry performing at the convention.

Those people are not interested in any way for the benefit of the country. They would enable any evil as long as their careers are safe. They have no shame. They all suffer from some degree of sever personality disorder since they are so willing to help others cause harm to real people.

The brainwashed and the old guys that get a cheap thrill looking at the babes.

They aren't changing anybodys mind.

Kelly's still carrying water for him?

Maybe if he wins, she'll be the one designated to fetch his coffee and mail at the White House.
