Megyn Kelly expressed outrage over a Washington Post opinion piece by Catherine Rampell that labeled Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff as a 'modern-day sex symbol.' Kelly criticized the column as 'absolutely disgusting' and accused Rampell of attempting to rehabilitate her image with Democrats after previously criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris's economic plan. The article described Emhoff as embodying the 'modern female fantasy,' highlighting his supportive nature towards his wife's ambitions. Kelly also brought up Emhoff's past extramarital affair, inaccurately claiming it involved a nanny, while reports clarified it was with a school teacher. The column has sparked significant backlash from conservative commentators and social media users, with some mocking the notion of Emhoff as a sex symbol. Rampell's portrayal of Emhoff as a progressive role model has ignited a broader conversation about masculinity and modern relationships.
