Megyn Kelly Spends 2 Solid Minutes On Whether Jeffrey Epstein Meets the Definition of ‘An Actual Pedophile’

YouTube and Sirius XM host Megyn Kelly took a detour to riff about how deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein might not fit the definition of “an actual pedophile.”

Epstein dominated the news after Democrats and Republicans each released tranches of emails from the Epstein estate, many of which involved shocking or mysterious revelations about President Donald Trump. That news was followed by the completion of the long-awaited discharge petition to force a vote on releasing more Epstein documents.

On Wednesday’s edition of Sirius XM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, the host spent a significant portion of the show discussing the issue with pro-Trump host Batya Ungar-Sargon, who called Epstein a “serial pedophile” seemingly every five seconds.

But Kelly eventually went granular on that count. While describing him as “sick and disgusting,” she still explored the “difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old” — claiming Epstein was “into the barely-legal type”:

MEGYN KELLY: As for Epstein, I’ve said this before, but just as a reminder, I do know somebody very, very close to this case who is in a position to know virtually everything. Not everything, but virtually everything. And this person has told me from the start years and years ago that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person’s view, was not a pedophile–

BATYA UNGAR-SARGON:  (RAISES EYEBROW) Mmm!

MEGYN KELLY: This is this person’s view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type.

BATYA UNGAR-SARGON:  Mmm-hmmm.

MEGYN KELLY: Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. And I realize this is disgusting. I’m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I’m just giving you facts, that he wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.

And that is what I believed, and that is what I reliably was told for many years. And it wasn’t until we heard from Pam Bondi that they had tens of thousands of videos of alleged — forgive me, they used to call it kiddie porn, now they call it child sexual abuse material — on his computer that for the first time, I thought, oh, no, he was an actual pedophile. I mean, only a pedophile gets off on young children abuse videos. She’s never clarified it, I don’t know whether it’s true. I have to be honest, I don’t really trust Pam Bondi’s word on the Epstein matters anymore.

BATYA UNGAR-SARGON: Or anything else.

MEGYN KELLY: Yeah, so I don’t know what’s true about him, but we have yet to see anybody come forward and say I was under 10, I was under 14 when I first came within his purview. You can say that’s a distinction without a difference. I think there is a difference. There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

BATYA UNGAR-SARGON: Yeah.

MEGYN KELLY: Whatever. It’s sick. Every time we start talking about Epstein, it makes your skin crawl. You’re right. The whole thing is just disgusting.

BATYA UNGAR-SARGON: Totally.

(LONG SILENCE)

MEGYN KELLY: Anyway–
