A Fox News anchor got tongue-tied while trying to introduce a guest on her show and wound up dropping an F-bomb. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Megyn Kelly flubbed Mike Huckabee’s name as she brought him on her show Monday.
“Joining me now, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who is the host of ‘F–ka–,’ ‘Huckabee,’” she said, catching herself as she F-bombed his name.
She talked about the incident later in the show.
THR reports: “Later on in her show, Kelly brought up the accidental profanity, saying, ‘Something else that happened on the program is also getting a lot of attention on Twitter, including this tweet from some nice man named Sean who said, “Megyn, you’re a delight to watch and gave a stoic performance after your slip-up with Governor Huckabee’s name.” I thought I was stoic too. I have a heart of a 12-year-old boy.'”
Here’s a short clip of the original incident:
What makes you think she made a mistake?
I think from having watched and listened to Megyn Kelly over a few years on Fox, I do not believe
Megyn would do anything like that intentionally, anyone at sometime over a career such as this could do that at any moment in a newscast. Whoever these critics are, must be just looking to criticize a very lovely person for some kind of attention, they must have other motives perhaps a little jealousy.
I am sure Mike Huckabee understands a slip up.
