Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Live on SiriusXM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. It's day two of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing in Provo, Utah, where prosecutors are seeking to persuade a judge that there is probable cause to believe that Tyler Robinson assassinated Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10th of last year. We will have the latest in just a moment. We've been watching it. It's been on for the past hour. We are streaming it on our YouTube channel. For those of you who would like to follow along, go to youtube.com/megynkelly in its entirety. We are going to be doing substantive coverage of what happened yesterday and this morning in about 20 minutes or so. I'm going to start with a different story here on our show. But we've got to bring you more about this item that was in our AM Update podcast this morning. Graham Platner, this whole thing is imploding. His campaign is imploding. He was the darling of the Democrat Party. He easily won the primary to take on Republican Susan Collins in the Maine Senate race. And Republicans have been very worried about this race. It's extremely tight, extremely tight. And Susan Collins is a stalwart. She always seems to manage to pull out these contests. They like her in Maine because she's moderate and so are they, including the Republicans. But this guy is sort of an insurgent candidate. He's Trumpy in the way that he's outside the mainstream. He doesn't look like the other candidates. He doesn't talk like them.
He's more of a populist, though a leftist populist, whereas Trump was more of a Republican populist. And he has a very, very good chance of unseating her, or did until recently. I mean, he's been, again, kind of like Trump, like Teflon. He surrounded, or he survived the scandals like that surrounding his Nazi tattoo. He had made several controversial comments on Reddit prior to running, allegedly sexted with, I mean, we were told about a dozen women who were not his wife, that the campaign said, no more than six. Okay, okay. But while he was married, and he only got married in 2023 So this is not ancient history.
And generally mistreating his previous romantic partners.
There was a big New York Times expose on how those romantic interludes went beyond, you know, bad romances to where one woman, Lindsay Fifield, who's a conservative, said she had been locked in a room by him. She'd been, she had her arm twisted in a way that was painful and forceful. And some other allegations that came out, which were quickly dismissed by most Democrats who didn't really care. And now he's facing allegations of sexual assault from a woman he once dated. And I have to say, just having read the allegations, she's alleging that he raped her. There's really no distinction. I don't know why they're not using the R word. And she is talking about it in a way that's a little odd. You know, like when asked, did you say no, she had language like, you know, I used language of non-consent. She's got a sort of ethereal way of addressing the issue of consent. But it seems clear if you read her full comments and listen to her on with Jake Tapper yesterday, she's saying consent was not there and that that was communicated.
And it's causing an avalanche of defectors now from Graham Platner. I mean, I think everyone but Bernie Sanders has abandoned him now. Just about all the people like who had endorsed him and who were standing by him. Even my old pal Crystal Ball, who I really like, she's on the opposite side of the aisle versus yours truly, but she's awesome, she's smart, and we go way back. She had been standing by Graham Platner. She really likes that populist, leftist thing.
