Megyn Kelly has mocked the “amount of retouching” done to Hillary Clinton to make her look younger on the cover of her new book.
“I haven’t seen this much done to Joan Rivers’ face since she had her 15th surgery. Love her Joan,” Kelly said Wednesday on SiriusXM’s podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
Kerry said he didn’t know “what Clinton was trying to do with this soft focus.”
“She looks nothing like herself,” Kelly noted.
She also described Clinton, the 76-year-old former secretary of state and senator from New York, as New York Times guest column She wrote that she had advised her fellow Democrat, President Joe Biden, on how to debate former President Donald Trump.
The two are set to face off in the first presidential debate, which will be simulcast on CNN on Thursday night.
“If you’re so smart about how you debate Trump, why aren’t you the president? I was just asking my friends,” Kelly said on the podcast.
Mr Kelly added that Ms Clinton had sought to portray herself as an “older woman politician” who “could do it all”.
In a New York Times op-ed, Clinton wrote that Trump “starts with nonsense and then drifts off into nonsense,” and that Trump, who defeated her in 2016, “uses interruptions and intimidation to gain the upper hand and confuse his opponents.”
“These are just insults,” Kerry said, blasting Clinton.
“In fact, he [Trump] “What he did was say if he was in charge you would go to jail, and people rejoiced at this challenge to the power of someone who was thought to be untouchable,” Kelly said, praising the former president for “raising issues that really matter to working-class and middle-class Americans, and she totally ignored them.”
“None of that is in the op-ed,” Kelly added.
The Washington Post has reached out to Clinton for comment.
