he called the sandy hook fake and even said that some of the grieving parents were actors.egyn kelly has put out a reaction and will put it on the screen -- a couple of other points. parents in the sandy hook community are heartbroken, one that jumped out at me was the family of a teacher who was killed at the school, saying on facebook that alex and his followers have done nothing but make their lives difficult for the last four and a half years. jpmorgan pulled the advertising from nbc, the chief marketing officer saying on twitter that as an advertiser they are repulsed that megyn kelly would give a second of airtime to him. >> jon: the interview itself is not even aired yet. already, the flames are being fanned here. >> that is what is so striking here about this controversy about our former colleagues megyn kelly. nobody has seen the full interview here. what we have here is a classic collision, you cannot be moved by listening to some of these parents saying he should not get a platform. at the same time, he is somebody that president trump called after the election t
