Megyn Kelly’s jumping into the mess around Kristi Noem and her hubby Bryon after those supposed leaked photos started making rounds.
It blew up when Daily Mail dropped stories claiming Bryon had this hidden online world, dipping into weird forums and posting personal stuff. Now the whole family’s under a microscope.
Kelly had a lot to say – part pity for Kristi, part bigger-picture take. “I feel for Kristi Noem. It puts a totally different spin on the affair she’s allegedly been having with Corey Lewandowski. Who could blame her? It feels almost noble at this point. It’s not noble; they are both married.”
Her comments lit up social media, kicking off all kinds of arguments. Noem’s team fired back through a rep, saying she’s “devastated” and had zero clue. They called it a total blindside for the family.
Kelly also flagged security red flags, tied to Kristi’s old DHS gig. “It makes her subject to blackmail because if the Daily Mail can find these pictures and this fetish by her married husband, so can our adversaries, and who knows who could go to Kristi Noem when she was DHS secretary and say, ‘You will do the following things, or we will run to the New York Times with these photos.'”
It’s stirring up old talk about her and Corey Lewandowski too, which she’s shot down before.
Bryon owned up to some online chats but swore nothing about his wife got shared. Critics are still hammering how this hits her rep in politics and public eye.
The story’s not dying down, with pundits and regular folks piling on.
