Megyn Kelly Forced To Apologize On-Air For Reading Bogus Wikileaks Document

By Karoli Kuns

You might stop and think about reading a Wikileaks document on-air that purports to be from documents hacked earlier this summer, particularly when the phrasing is nothing like Hillary Clinton's manner of speech.

"My dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders," Kelly read from an email purported to be in the Wikileaks dump dropped today. "In what appears to be a reference to Bernie Sanders, or it's absolutely clear it's people on the left, calling them 'bucket of losers,'" she continued.

After being cautioned by her guests that the emails were unauthenticated and therefore shouldn't be considered anything to be discussing, she continued to try to hammer on the "bucket of losers" phrase.

At the end of her show, she read this statement:

"Team Clinton strongly denies that she called anyone a bucket of losers. That was apparently a doctored quote and not real. We apologize for that error."
