Maher: Megyn Kelly Trump Interview Was ‘a Profile in Cowardice!’

Bill Maher Slams Media For Trump: "Bullshit" That Megyn Kelly is A "Genius"; A "Profile In Cowardice" (RealClearPolitics)

HBO's Bill Maher ripped Megyn Kelly after guest Matt Welch, editor of Reason, cited the FOX News Channel host as a trustworthy source in the media. On the Friday edition of Real Time, Maher and the panel debated the role of the media in the rise of Donald Trump.

"Megyn Kelly? Excuse me. Can we go through this bullshit for a second? Megyn Kelly asked [Donald Trump] one tough question at the debate... One tough question. And then of course the stupid media annoints her as a genius because she asked one tough question. For months, he's just belittling her. She's on the rag. She's a bimbo. Her ratings are terrible."

"Then she comes begging him for an interview where she says nothing is going to be out of bounds," Maher said of Kelly's recent interview with Trump aired on the FOX Broadcast network. "You know what was out of bounds? Journalism."
