The right-wing host said she did not view the sex trafficker as an “actual pedophile” until recently, among other head-scratching remarks.

Megyn Kelly has been eviscerated for suggesting Jeffrey Epstein was not an “actual pedophile” because he preyed on “barely legal” 15-year-olds, not elementary-aged kids. Kelly made the bizarre assertion after claiming she has a source who does not believe Epstein was a pedophile at all, apparently. However, Kelly’s definition of pedophilia appears to deviate from what most Americans understand the word to mean. “I do know somebody very, very close to this case who is in a position to know virtually everything,” Kelly said Monday. “And this person has told me from the start, years and years ago, that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person’s view, was not a pedophile.”
