Should Megyn Kelly Have Interviewed Alex Jones?

The Political Gabfest on giving a platform to the far-right Infowars host.

In the Slate Plus bonus segment of Thursday’s edition of the Political Gabfest, hosts John, David, and Jamelle discuss the controversy surrounding Megyn Kelly’s upcoming interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
