Megyn Kelly Had The Best Reaction To A Trump Surrogate’s Complaint About Wheelchair Ramps

http://uproxx.com/news/megyn-kelly-trump-disabilities-complaint-reaction/

Between her alleged involvement in the internal investigation of former Fox News head Roger Ailes, and Donald Trump’s on-again-off-again feud with her reporting prowess, Megyn Kelly is a force to be reckoned with. The former attorney, whose conservative journalism and punditry career skyrocketed following The Kelly File‘s debut in 2013, hasn’t let Trump off the hook since he entered the political arena. This was especially the case on Wednesday, when the Fox News anchor ridiculed the Republican nominee for rehashing his past controversies during a rally in Florida.

“What is he doing re-litigating every controversy from the primary season?” she asked writer Ben Domenech (publisher of The Federalist) and Trump supporter David Wohl. Domenech agreed wholeheartedly with Kelly’s legal frustrations. Wohl, although he’s an attorney, did not. Especially when Kelly brought up Trump’s defense of his making fun of a disabled New York Times reporter, which was to laud the “millions and millions of dollars” he’s spent on ADA-accessible buildings.

KELLY: The fact that Trump has put ramps in his buildings is required by law. He doesn’t get extra credit for that. You have to!
WOHL: But they’re very expensive in his buildings, Megyn. Let me tell you…
KELLY: Oh good God.

Between Domenech giggling on camera, the crew laughing off camera, and Kelly’s literal facepalm, the brief exchange succinctly sums up the White House hopeful’s not-so-great week.

1. And yet for all her bluster, she still sides with the folks that will vote for Trump.

I wonder if even just once in her career at Foxnews, if it ever dawned on her that she helped create the very same folks she now give the facepalm to?

3. I suppose renovating buildings for accessibility was one of Trump's 'sacrifices'

For which he feels deserving of a purple heart.

I'm glad Kelly didn't let that slide by.

to make their buildings accessible. A couple of locals became quadriplegics and after sitting down with local government they configured the main entrance to the town hall so it was a gentle slope for wheelchairs. The old ramp its still there today, newer sections are ADA compliant.

After one humiliating debate against Clinton, trump refuses to debate again and spends October ridiculing Chris Christie and twitter attacks on Rio Silver Medalists.
