What was said
"“But we posted a headline. It was something, something along the lines of, you know, Megyn Kelly tosses out old pager just to be safe.”"
Dillon says the outlet posted a satirical headline that he paraphrases as “Megyn Kelly tosses out old pager just to be safe,” framing it as a joke alluding to claims that Israel has used exploding pagers to target enemies. He adds that some people interpreted the headline as a threat against Kelly rather than satire.
