'The Daily Show' Torches Megyn Kelly's 'Diet Pedophilia' Explanation of Epstein: 'How the Hell Was She Ever an Attorney? [View all]

“The Daily Show” dragged Megyn Kelly after the political commentator split hairs over late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein being labeled a “pedophile,” given he was technically interested in “young teen types.”

Host Josh Johnson put Kelly on blast during Thursday’s monologue, where he asked viewers tuning in: “How the hell was Megyn Kelly ever an attorney?”

“‘Your Honor, my client only engaged in diet pedophilia,'” he went on. “Ma’am, everyone knows there is a big difference between a 15-year-old and a five-year-old. But everyone also knows there is never a good reason to be talking about that difference.”

Johnson’s criticism comes after the journalist caught flak for her recent comments about Epstein and his predilection for teen girls during Wednesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.” In the episode, Kelly highlighted that Epstein was into the “barely legal type,” but that there were not reports of him being into “8-year-olds.”
