Since Megyn Kelly’s pointed question to Donald J. Trump about his treatment of women in the first Republican debate, he has been attacking her regularly, through Tweets and on the campaign trail. Bailey comment: "He should attack her, she ambushed him in the first debate"!
His most recent
attack: Ms. Kelly shouldn’t be allowed to moderate the next debate, to
be held on Thursday, because of “conflict of interest and bias.”
Since August, the bad
blood has been decidedly one-sided, as Mr. Trump has repeatedly called
Ms. Kelly a liar and overrated, and retweeted supporters calling her a
bimbo. Most memorably, he seemed to suggest she was menstruating during
the debate when he said in an interview, “you could see there was blood
coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”
Ms. Kelly had asked
Mr. Trump during the debate about his history of disparaging women he
did not like by calling them “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting
animals.” After he criticized her, she stood her ground, saying in
August that she planned to “continue doing my job without fear or
favor.” She has never engaged with the candidate on any of his attacks,
and has had his supporters on her show, including most recently Sarah
Palin.
Fox News showed no
signs of giving in to Mr. Trump’s displeasure with the questioning,
stating just a week following the first debate that all three moderators
would again host the debate in January.
On Saturday, it
reiterated that stance, saying in a statement: “Megyn Kelly has no
conflict of interest. Donald Trump is just trying to build up the
audience for Thursday’s debate, for which we thank him.”
