Controversy erupted after the president abruptly left his Meet The Press interview with Kristen Welker — and megastar commentator Megyn Kelly rushed to his defense, arguing the exchange was mishandled and leaving many talking. Read on to discover the full story!

Kelly Says Interview Went Too Far

On her podcast, Megyn Kelly said she doesn’t blame the president for walking out and suggested the exchange had become more about the moderator than the answers. Kelly noted the sit-down reportedly ran about an hour and argued the tone grew increasingly confrontational, which she believes justified an early exit.

What Triggered the Walkout?

RadarOnline reports the confrontation intensified when Welker pressed the president about his claims that votes were stolen in California and broader 2020 election allegations. Kelly criticized the line of questioning as escalating the confrontation rather than diffusing it.
