'Bush league': Megyn Kelly turns on Bari Weiss over Scott Pelley's firing at CBS

MAGA radio host Megyn Kelly sounded off on CBS News chief Bari Weiss during a new episode of her show over the decision to fire veteran journalist Scott Pelley. Pelley was let go from CBS News on Tuesday "for cause," according to a letter obtained by NBC News. In the letter, CBS executive Nick Bilton said Pelley had shown contempt for the organization when he accused senior leadership of "murdering" the acclaimed show "60 Minutes" by firing journalists and producers. Kelly said on Wednesday that Pelley's firing was probably "overdue" because of his attitude, but she took issue with the way Weiss and CBS News handled the issue, which she described as "bush league.""There has to be some massaging of the team of talent and producers who are there or fire them all," Kelly said. "Do one or the other, but don't just try to say, 'I will parachute in somebody with zero experience, and you will respect him or else.' That's just not going to work.""It's been a blood bath over there," Kelly added.

White House rattled as 4 House Republicans break ranks to rein in Trump: CNN

President Donald Trump's White House is growing increasingly concerned about the president's standing after the House of Representatives took a key vote on Wednesday, according to a new report. CNN's Kristen Holmes reported that there is a "huge amount of concern" among the several Trump officials she spoke with about their level of concern following the House's vote to throttle Trump's war powers. It was a staggering vote, marking the first time many Republicans publicly stood against Trump on a key issue for his administration. The resolution still needs to be passed by the Senate before it is effective, CNN reported. Holmes told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront" that the vote also carried some significant warning signs for the Trump administration. "When you look at that vote, four Republicans crossed party lines. Can you imagine a time six months ago when you would see four Republicans siding with the Democrats?" she said. The vote to curb Trump's war powers happened at a time when Republicans appear to be growing tired of Trump focusing on international issues rather than domestic ones. Trump's war in Iran cost taxpayers about $1 billion per day, according to reports, while voters at home continuously expressed their concerns about the rising cost of living.
