Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly in Tears During Sandy Hook Coverage

Fox News host Megyn Kelly broke down in tears on Monday during a news segment on the parents of a little girl finding out she had been killed in Friday’s shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Kelly, a mother of two, reacted with choked emotion on “America Live” after a moving interview from ABC with the parents of 6-year-old Jessica Rekos.

Kelly, usually an aggressive, tough television personality, visibly loses her composure in this video:




Many viewers reached out to Kelly through social media to share some compassion.

Megyn Kelly is seriously a boss. Nearly just lost it on air after SOT of victim's mother but recovered expertly.

Actually felt bad for Megyn Kelly trying to talk and cry at the same time. Not an easy story to report on.

Megyn Kelly just about broke down talking about a clip she just played w/parents of one of the kids. This is why I can't watch the news.
