Podcast host and former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly is setting the record straight when it comes to sending explicit photos and messages through social media, referring to ex-congressman Eric Swalwell.
“I just want to state, again, for all men out there: No woman wants that,” Kelly said Tuesday on the Megyn Kelly Show.
Swalwell, who was a Democratic U.S. representative of California, is under fire after accusers came forward with sexual assault allegations. It has prompted an investigation into the congressman. Since then, several staff members called for him to resign, which he ultimately did Tuesday; he also recently dropped out of the California gubernatorial race.
Another woman came forward after his resignation, detailing how he allegedly drugged and raped her in a hotel room. Swalwell has denied all allegations.
Kelly referenced a clip from CBS Mornings, where Swalwell’s accusers went on camera to speak for the first time.
One of the accusers, Ally Sammarco, whose accusations were first detailed in a CNN report, said Swalwell asked her if she was on Snapchat. She said what started as political and platonic messages soon turned more explicit.
“One night, he was on a trip, and he was laying in his hotel room bed, and then he sent me a photo of his penis,” Sammarco said.
“Women don’t work the same way men do when it comes to getting turned on,” Kelly said. “Maybe send a picture of your bicep, or depending on your situation, your wallet.”
“But the dick pics — it doesn’t work like that. Pretty much all men would appreciate a naked photo of a woman. Women aren’t dying to have a naked photo of the guy,” she continued.

Kelly said men should maybe try a picture of being nurturing with children to show the role of a caregiver and “loving husband.”
