Twitter erupted in a din of unified rage on Wednesday night in reaction to Megyn Kelly's televised interview with members of the Duggar family on Fox News.


During the interview with Kelly, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar admitted they knew their son Josh Duggar had molested several of their daughters, but described Josh's actions as “inappropriate touching” and "nothing like rape."

Jill and Jess Duggar, two of Josh's younger sisters, announced on air they were among their brother's victims.

The Duggars voiced displeasure with Arkansas police for honoring a Freedom of Information Act request and supplying InTouch Weekly with Josh Duggar's investigative records. The family suspects a police officer at the department may be guilty of bribery, and are considering a lawsuit.

The Duggar family starred in the hit TLC reality series "19 Kids and Counting," until the network pulled the show following 27-year-old Josh Duggar's admission last month that he sexually assaulted several girls, including some of his sisters. Josh Duggar has also stepped down from his senior lobbyist position with the conservative Family Research Council.

Below, some notable reactions from the Twittersphere about the Duggars' appearance on Megyn Kelly:
