More than 24,000 people have signed a petition asking News Corp. to ban Megyn Kelly from moderating all future Republican debates because she is not “serious” enough.
The petition, started by Donald Trump supporters, was created because they were upset about Kelly’s lines of questioning with Trump.
Kelly asked him about his history of misogynistic comments to women, a line that sparked a firestorm online.
Here is the full text of the petition:
In addition, she had a clear agenda to attack Donald Trump, by tenaciously clinging to his past rather than his vision for the future. She focused on Trump personally, rather than politically. Ultimately, she did not not live up to the “fair and balanced” slogan at Fox News and News Corporation.
While her disdain for Mr. Trump was evident, this petition is a call for truly fair and balanced coverage of ALL candidates. Thus, Megyn Kelly should be barred from hosting or moderating all future Republican Presidential Debates.
Please support this position by signing it as well as adding your reasons to bar Megyn Kelly from hosting or moderating any future Republican Debates. She is better off hosting a Democrat debate at this unprofessional level.
Trump himself has not addressed the petition, but has tweeted out multiple things about Kelly and the debate that seemingly indicate his support for the movement.
