During Childhood Spanking Segment, Megyn Kelly ‘Confronts’ Her Mom: ‘I Could’ve Been At NASA!’
Does having been spanked as a child (being spanked as an adult is, as the vast majority of you know, an entirely different kettle of fish) make a person more aggressive and emotionally unstable as a grown-up? That’s what precisely what Fox News’ Megyn Kelly seeks to find out.
As Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel told the America Live host Thursday afternoon, the Canadian Medical Association Journal suggests that spanking children as a normative deterrent for bad behavior can indeed have a negative impact on them as adults, including putting them at higher risk for drug and spousal abuse.

Proving his case? The defendant, Megyn Kelly’s mom. Having watched clips of Kelly shouting down the likes of Bill O’Reilly, her mother noted that Kelly was spanked as a child for just that — talking back.
Kelly the Younger then brought on her brother, Pete Kelly, to back her up. He also recalled being spanked on occasion, both by his mother’s hand as well as by the nefarious “Mr. Spoon.”
The anchor blamed her mom for having given her a lower IQ as a consequence of “all those spankings.” “Mom, I could’ve been at NASA!” she told her, rather aggressively.
“I programmed you to be an anchor,” said her mom. “And I did well.”
