Fox News host confronts RFK Jr about ‘personal relationship’ with New York Magazine star reporter

Fox News host Martha MacCallum confronted Robert F Kennedy Jr abouthis alleged sexting scandal with New York Magazine’s star reporter Olivia Nuzzi live on air on Wednesday.

Rumors began swirling last Thursday when the magazine announced that Nuzzi, 31, had been placed on leave after disclosing a “personal relationship” with “a former subject” relevant to the election. The magazine’s media reporter Oliver Darcy revealed soon after that the alleged mystery subject was 70-year-old RFK Jr.

MacCallum brought up the alleged scandal on air on Fox News on Wednesday.

“I want to give you an opportunity to address some headlines,” she said.

Nodding to wild, resurfaced stories that he dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park and beheaded a dead whale with a chainsaw, she said: “Because you seem to be surrounded by, you know, scandals and old stories that keep coming up about animals and all of this.”

She continued: “The latest one is an inappropriate relationship with a New York Magazine political reporter who was covering your campaign.

“It’s gotten a lot of attention, so what do you say to your supporters who question your behavior and want to know what’s going on?”

RFK Jr quickly tried to shut down the question.

“I never comment on those kind of stories,” he replied, telling the news anchor he was happy to discuss other topics, such as health and ending the conflict in Ukraine.

“But as a person do you have any regrets about any-” she continued to ask.

RFK Jr firmly repeated himself: “Like I said, I don’t make comments on it.”

MacCallum backed down, but added that she wanted to give him the “opportunity to answer it because it’s been out there, but we thank you very much for being here, as always.”
