Speaking with ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson, Fox News host Megyn Kelly began the ‘discussion’ (fight) with Levenson by claiming, “Scott, a lot of people, a lot of our viewers, think your group is corrupt, you’ve been found guilty of fraud in several states and they don’t want you having anything to do with the census. What say you?”

Levenson tried to explain that workers during the election were hired across the country for about $12 an hour, and that a handful of individuals — not the ACORN organization — were prosecuted for crimes “with ACORN cooperating with prosecutors in each case.” It’s like calling Fox News a bunch of thieves if an employee is picked up for larceny, he tried his best to point out.

As Kelly continued to shout her insulting remarks, Levenson called her on her ‘lies’ and, after being repeatedly berated, Kelly said “You’re not gonna talk over me, Scott, you’re gonna let me ask the questions or I’m gonna cut your mic,” a threat she repeated three times before indeed having Levenson’s microphone cut off.
