When ex-Fox News host Megyn Kelly was confronted with a report about a bribery scandal in Donald Trump's administration, she stunned observers when she proudly declared, "We do not care."
Raw Storyreported on Saturday about a MSNBC exclusive in which the outlet claimed that border czar Tom Homan had previously been investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. That caused U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to issue a stinging four-word response to Homan.
It also caused a senator to declare that Attorney General Pam Bondi "knew" about the reported bribery operation.
But for Kelly, she had a different type of response.
"We DO NOT CARE. Don’t bother [Homan] he’s a national treasure," she wrote on X.
Journalist Sam Stein replied, "For me, this just raises the question: is there ANYTHING Homan (and, I guess, Trump) could do that Megyn or others WOULD care about?"
"The question of whether there are any lines left is a valid one," Stein added.
Conservative strategist Tim Miller asked Kelly, "You don’t care that government officials are taking cash bribes? What?"
Kelly responded in part, "No, we don’t care what you say about Tom Homan. We do not trust you. We only care about defeating you."
Ex-GOP pollster Sarah Longwell also responded to Kelly's response to the scandal.
"Yes, we’re aware you don’t care about the rampant corruption in this administration," Longwell wrote on Saturday. "That’s been clear."
