title:  ‘Just Stop’: Megyn Kelly Gets Dragged Around The Internet For Saying Putin Is A Swell Guy
text: Considering the field that Megyn Kelly is in, one would think she would be critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin. On the other hand, his critics are often murdered, especially journalists. Conservatives don t seem to have a problem with the Russian leader, often times during former President Barack Obama s time in office, they praised Putin while slamming Trump s predecessor. Donald Trump has repeatedly praised Putin, even to the point of defending the Russian President for murdering journalists. Trump did that at least twice.Kelly, the former Fox News host who is not besties with Trump, said that Putin was  very personable  when the cameras were off during her exclusive interview on NBC News with the Russian leader..@megynkelly: Vladimir Putin was  very personable  when the cameras were off https://t.co/1iV3WKNgLC pic.twitter.com/TbNhjDzDDd  TODAY (@TODAYshow) June 4, 2017Twitter users questioned Kelly s praise of the murderous thug.

Then you need to avoid eating anything and balconies.  #CovertCovfefe (@johnnymags) June 4, 2017Putin tried to defend his earlier remarks to Kelly in which he claimed that  patriotic  hackers could have interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.Putin insisted that the hackers could have come from  anywhere  and then they could have shifted the blame to make it look like Russia was behind the hacking.Trump, Russia s pick for president, openly called for Russians to hack Hillary Clinton s email account.  I will tell you this, Russia: If you re listening, I hope you re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,  Trump said at a news conference in Florida at the time.  I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. We re sure it s all just a coinky dink, though.Featured image via screen capture
