Megyn Kelly has criticized ABC’s “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir for his display of “abject vanity” while covering the wildfires in Los Angeles where he was pilloried for wearing a yellow firefighter jacket that was cinched at the back with clothespins, presumably to achieve a more fitted appearance.
Kelly blasted Muir for “wearing a fake fireman’s jacket” while doing an on-location report from devastated areas in Southern California, according to The NY Post.
“What you’re seeing on the close up as he turns to reference the scene behind him and shows us his back, which clearly he wasn’t anticipating would make it on cam, his clothes pins, pulling his jacket in, cinching it…so that his waist looks more svelte on camera,” Kelly said during Thursday’s episode of her SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
“The abject vanity of this man,” Kelly added. She eviscerated Muir for “pretending to be a fireman” while reporting from the scene.
“This is not dress up time,” she said. “That’s something that my little boys did when they were still in the single digits…not on the news when people are dying.”
Meanwhile, Page Six reports people at the network were “embarrassed and horrified” by the gaffe. Multiple insiders pointed to Muir’s Instagram account, which features the physically fit newsman regularly broodily mugging in form-fitting T-shirts with extra short sleeves that show off his physique.
But sources also told us that the fashion world move of cinching a jacket is par for the course for one of ABC’s leading men.
