Megyn Kelly promises us she's just going to let the Duggars "tell their story" not "cross examine" them like there's some kind of crime.

It's interesting how infrequently the fact that Jim Bob Duggar is a Republican politician is mentioned.

Yes, it’s gross and stomach-turning, but there are real victims here and they ain’t the candidates who were happy to share the spotlights with a C-level reality-show ‘celebrity’ and certified Repub-endorsing godbotherer. Per TPM:
Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Monday night bashed media coverage of the Duggar family following allegations that Josh Duggar molested underage girls while he was a teenager.
After playing a CNN clip noting that several Republicans have posed for pictures with Josh Duggar in the past, Kelly lambasted the media for “trying to make this the problem of the Republican presidential field.”…
Fox’s Howard Kurtz, a guest on “The Kelly File,” said he was “disgusted by how some liberal media types are using what’s obviously a family tragedy to score political points.”
Kelly then lamented that law enforcement leaked Josh Duggar’s juvenile police records and criticized members of the media for still reporting heavily on the allegations…
Kelly also previewed her Wednesday interview with the Duggar family…
Give Kelly points for professionalism, by Fox News standards: She’s decried and refudiated the ‘cruel treatment’ of these poor misunderstood Christians, but if further details emerge that cause even stalwarts like Mike Hucksterbee to scuttle away, well, she showed you the pictures, she reported the controversy…
Below the fold — trigger warning — stories from someone who knows all too well what it’s like to be in the situation of the Duggar daughters…
