Thank god someone was around tonight monitoring the politesse of the Baltimore protesters. That hero? Miss Manners herself, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly.

Kelly, broadcasting from the studio, had strong words for the protesters, who had the nerve to yell things like, “Are we being violent?” and “We’re asking you to leave our neighborhood” at reporter Leland Vittert.

I know what you’re thinking—seems like an opportune time for a scolding! Social cop Megyn Kelly agrees.

“This is ridiculous. This is how folks want to be heard? They want to shout down the reporter? They want to endanger him? They want to get in his face? Really?” Kelly says, unironically pointing out that Vittert has plenty of security to protect him from the story.

“This is the way folks are dealing with their anger. Shouting down a reporter trying to do his job, trying to bring their message out!”

Weird, right?
