Fox’s Megyn Kelly Doesn’t Approve of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Calling Justice Scalia A ‘Troll’

 

Fox’s Megyn Kelly did not like MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow usage of the term “troll” on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to describe Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia after he said the Voting Rights Act as creating a “racial entitlement.”

While talking to her America Live panel of liberal commentator Alan Colmes and conservative Siruis XM host David Webb she chastised Maddow without using her name.

“This has led to a lot of criticism of Justice Scalia including one liberal commentator calling him ‘a troll,'” she said. “As somebody who covered the high court for three years and practiced law for nine, I personally object to that kind of language against the Supreme Court justice. I don’t think it does anybody any good. I think they vote their consciences up there whether they’re left or right.”

Kelly and Maddow clashed as recently as 2011 when Maddow called her out by name for a controversial tweet involving a woman that was beaten by a man over a parking space.
