Did Megyn Kelly just spend an hour sanitizing Donald Trump's misogyny because she wants you to buy her book?

In August of last year, Megyn Kelly, the breakout Fox News host, asked Donald Trump a very reasonable debate question about his record of calling women he does not like “fat pigs” and “dogs.” Trump, now the presumptive Republican nominee, responded that Kelly’s question made him think that he should “probably maybe not be” so nice to her anymore.

He wasn’t. Later that night, he retweeted an account calling her a bimbo. The following day, he went on CNN and appraised her debate performance like this: “There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

The feud, or whatever you might call Trump’s fixation with Kelly, continued like that for months. Until Tuesday night, when the two sat down for an interview.

It was a fawning exchange, with Kelly laughing at Trump’s habit of hurling misogynistic bile her way and ignoring the last 10 months of his campaign—violence at rallies, pledges to ban Muslims from entering the country, bizarre and unnecessary lies about the provenance of steaks—in favor of questions about whether anyone has ever hurt his feelings.

It was an interview designed to give the impression that Trump has an inner life. It was also designed to promote Kelly’s just-announced book, Settle for More—which, she promised at the end of the show, was full of more details about her fight with Trump.
