Fox's Megyn Kelly Calls Out Dick Cheney, Internet Slow-Claps
Along with his daughter Liz, Cheney penned an op-ed piece published in the Wall Street Journal titled "The Collapsing Obama Doctrine" writing, "Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many."
On her show Wednesday, Kelly addressed Cheney's comments directly:
"Time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well in Iraq, sir. You said there was no doubt Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. You said we would be greeted as liberators. You said the insurgency was in its last throes back in 2005, and you said that after our intervention, extremists would have to 'rethink their strategy of jihad.' Now, with almost a trillion dollars spent there, with almost 4,500 American lives lost there, what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?"
Cheney fumbled, oddly calling Megyn "Reagan" and correcting himself, before launching into his long-winded reply.
