"So Irresponsible": Megyn Kelly Slams Rep. Jackson Mentioning Emmett Till While Talking Nolan Wells
What was said
"Well, this is also as we speak today the uh anniversary the the date of IT Hill's birth. And so I come from Chicago and that was a Mississippi case. So history is repeating itself again."
Congressman Jackson alleges the Nolan Wells disappearance and death reflect a pattern of racial injustice and claims state authorities “have not lifted a finger”. He calls for an independent inquiry and says he would like to see a federal investigation, arguing other youths involved “know something” but were not thoroughly questioned. Megyn Kelly condemns the comparison and says Jackson gives no specific examples to support claims of “deception and denial”.
