Megyn Kelly Questions Kristi Noem’s Account

Megyn Kelly, a prominent podcast host, has expressed skepticism regarding Kristi Noem’s claims that she was unaware of her husband’s private life. The discussion arose after photos surfaced showing Bryon Noem, the husband of the former Homeland Security chief, engaging in cross-dressing.

Noem’s Initial Response and Kelly’s Doubts

Kristi Noem stated she was “devastated” after the photos were published by the Daily Mail. Kelly, however, believes it’s improbable that Noem was completely unaware of her husband’s activities. She questioned how a spouse could remain oblivious to such behavior over a potentially extended period.

Kelly’s Commentary on the Situation

Megyn Kelly remarked, “I feel for Kristi Noem. It puts a totally different spin on the affair she’s allegedly been having with Corey Lewandowski. Who could blame her? It feels almost noble at this point.” She further stated, “She’s suggesting she didn’t know—so I guess technically it wouldn’t justify the affair—but even if you don’t know, don’t you know? As a wife?”

Concerns About National Security

National security experts have raised concerns that the photos of Bryon Noem could have created a potential security risk. Jack Barsky, a former Soviet spy turned U.S. counterintelligence asset, told the Daily Mail, “It’s astounding that somebody whose spouse is at that level has that kind of bad judgment,” suggesting the situation could have been exploited for blackmail.

Rumors of Husband’s Sexuality

Political commentator Girdusky revealed that rumors about Bryon Noem’s sexuality were prevalent in Washington D.C. circles. He recounted an instance where Noem reportedly told a reporter, “Oh, my husband’s gay,” when questioned about an alleged affair. Girdusky clarified he hadn’t publicly named Noem out of respect for privacy but felt her denial was inconsistent with what was widely known.

Noem’s Alleged Affair

The revelations surrounding Bryon Noem’s private life have also brought renewed attention to rumors of an affair between Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski. Kelly suggested the circumstances might offer a different perspective on the alleged relationship.
