"You do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was OK as long as you were dressed up as like a character," Kelly said on Tuesday.
Just one day later, Kelly reversed course.
"I learned that given the history of blackface being used in awful ways by racists in this country, it is not okay for that to be part of any costume," Kelly said.
Her show, "Megyn Kelly Today," has suffered from poor ratings since its launch last September and has had its share of controversies, but her latest comments have also rankled others inside NBC News. The backlash from prominent figures at NBC News was swift, including Al Roker who said, "She owes a bigger apology to folks of color around the country."
