Story summary

Megyn Kelly, a conservative podcaster, strongly criticized New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James over the "Cornell 7" case. Kelly accused Hochul of appointing James as special prosecutor in October 2024 to influence the outcome of the high-profile gang rape investigation at Cornell University's Chi Phi fraternity house. Kelly called James a "rabid, fire-breathing hack," arguing that she had already taken sides by expressing sympathy for the victim on Facebook and refusing to address this bias during a press conference. Kelly claimed these actions showed James was not impartial in her role as special prosecutor, suggesting it would negatively affect the case against the seven accused fraternity members.

James → go → probe

The conservative podcaster accused Hochul of fixing the high-profile case by putting the “rabid, fire-breathing hack” AG in charge. “[Hochul] has now appointed someone even more abhorrent and hateful than she is — Letitia James — as special prosecutor in this case,” Kelly raged on her Friday show. asserted

Kelly → accuse → show

“And what that means is these boys are f’d!” asserted

We → highlight → you

The journalist claimed the post showed James had already “chosen a side” ahead of her investigation into the alleged gang-rape at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. asserted

Kelly downplayed the case – which has exploded into the national spotlight after Jane Doe filed a civil suit against the seven fraternity brothers last month – arguing that the male students shouldn’t have to go to prison for enaging in “a night of debauchery.” asserted

students → downplay → debauchery

I am seriously concerned for these seven young men, who appear to have engaged in a night of debauchery, [and some] sent out — in the case of one or two of them — f—ing stupid, offensive texts messages,” she said. asserted
