It's never a good sign when a national television host is priming the audience to believe "ephebophilia" isn't as big of a deal as other forms of child sex abuse because the president was friends with a child sex offender whose youngest known victim was actually 11 years old
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

🚨Megyn Kelly in 2023 re Russell Brand: “You’re 31 years old & you have sex allegedly w a 16-year old?… She was a minor. Just because you can’t be prosecuted for it doesn’t mean it’s right.”

Megyn Kelly suddenly finds pedophilia very hard to define
When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she's splitting hairs about men "into the barely legal type."

"A guy" (known child sex trafficker) "emailing a reporter" (at the most important newspaper in the world, about a presidential candidate's ties to himself, a known child sex trafficker) about "old girlfriends" (underage girls they trafficked) is not "a whole news story" (yes it is.)
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.
