Trump reignites Megyn Kelly feud with 'bimbo' tweet
The Hill ^ | 8/24/15 | N.Zimmerman

Posted on 08/24/2015 8:17:26 PM PDT by VinL

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly returned Monday night to host The Kelly File following a 10-day vacation, but her extended R & R seemed to have no relaxing effect on her loudest critic: Donald Trump.

In a series of late-night tweets, Trump accused Kelly of being “off her game,” and suggested she “must have had a terrible vacation” because she was “afraid to confront” her guest, Dr. Cornel West, on the subject of immigration.

Trump followed up his tweets with a couple of retweets from supporters who called Kelly a “bimbo” and her show “a waste of an hour on Fox.”

“The bimbo back [sic] in town,” said one tweet, which Trump reposted into his own timeline. “I hope not for long."

The Republican front-runner’s infamous feud with Kelly -- sparked in the aftermath of the first GOP debate, which Kelly co-moderated — reached a crescendo shortly before her temporary leave of absence, when Trump made a comment appearing to reference menstruation as a reason for a line of questioning he believed was unfair.

Trump went on to suggest several times that Kelly’s vacation was ordered by higher-ups at the news station as a result of the fallout from their post-debate friction.

Fox News pushed back on those claims, saying the time off was scheduled months in advance.

Unfazed, Trump repeated his allegation tonight on Twitter.

"I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly,” the businessman tweeted. "Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!"

On a road trip some years ago I heard a dumbass gasbag that I thought sounded like Jesse Ventura. Is that the Boortz guy?

I thought about it and it was likely Boortz. They do sound alike.

Boortz is thoroughly repulsive.

Bloody Mary as an aging 40 something queen who's marriage to the Spanish Crown prince Philip II had been largely sexless given she was one weird agent found herself thinking she was pregnant when actually it was a growth many suspect in her reproductive area

I would think Philip as future king of Spain would liked her to get preggers considering as King of Spain his child would also sit on the English throne

Quite a feat and drive the French apeshite

But alas the tumour(s) killed her ...

Kind of pathetic really but she had executed plenty of Protestants in her reign and was just kind of aloof and dour.....she had a sequestered childhood..... so many of her subjects had little love for her

But she spared her ginger little sister whom many loyal to Rome wanted dead given the girls mom Anne Boelyn was an open Protestant.......mercy which was fortuitous for England to say the least

Wow!! One hundred to one !! According to my tally (which I have been keeping for a week now) it is 152 to 47 for Trump. This is just from the few threads that I have tallied. Myself, I still can’t visualize him as CIC but the support for him here on FR is overwhelming. Time will tell if he is for real or just cruising for publicity.

I'm a bit older than you are and been involved in politics since babyhood; though I shan't explain that one on a thread.

And my political involvement/CV is better than yours is, but this is a silly, childish, playground "fight"; which you began. LOL

Psssssssssssssst.....some of us, who have been here from almost day one ( I read FR for almost a year before posting )do have a better handle on things than some n00bs; some don't.

New poll today......Trump is at 35% in N.H. today; sadly, Cruz is in low single digits.

Yes, things change, we ARE a long way off until the primaries hit, but this is a different time/election from anything I have EVER personally witnessed/been involved in.

All you same folks called Bush an idiot who allowed the world press to use him as a doormat. The MSM was cursed by you folks for 8 years. But now Trump should welcome back some big time MSM operative who literally attempted to maliciously derail the mans campaign. Bull sh*t. If Kelly looked like a fat troll you puppy love guys would dump her like a bad habit.

You guys don't know what a winning idea is. Have you people not bothered to look at ever single poll out there? Have you not seen the real hope and history here? Gezuz. This is another harpy thread where the low information party groupie crowd hopes to derail the only top candidate in this election with more totally insignificant crap.

Attempt to maliciously sabotage Trump; #176.

More fail Tomas.☺

Attempt #177 will be circulated any minute. Wait for it.

Trump is wasting his time beating a dead horse. Kelly gave him easy pitches to hit at that debate. Women? Sheesh, that’s what Trump loves to be about. He was the FRONTRUNNER. He knew he’d get tough questions and he will get more of them. The purpose of a debate is to see how a candidate reacts under stress.

Trump is attacking like a spoiled rich bully brat AGAIN.

ACTING PRESIDENTIAL is not acting like a 10 year old on twitter.

What was the “dig”? I didn’t see it, but if Trump can’t handle someone challenging his proposals without resorting to childish tweets, then he really should stay in the private sector.

You really are not used to republicans fighting back are you.

That's true. I'm not used to many Republicans fighting back, but I've seen Republicans who can and do effectively fight back. The difference between them and Trump is that they do it in an adult fashion.

Trump seems to suffer from a type of arrested development. What's so troubling about it is that he has so many fans who seem either to suffer from the same condition or admire the condition when they see it in someone they hope will lead our country.

you didn’t do what I asked, now please go away. They can use you at DU

C of a C, allow me to translate. What stillfree? really wants you to do is to SHUT UP. It appears that the "party of tolerance" is not the only "party of tolerance," if you get my meaning. I'm beginning to believe that there's a litmus test for FReeping: YOU MUST BE A TRUMP SUPPORTER. DU is not the only place where Cruz supporters are unwelcomed.

“What “fued”, sounds like a real one-sided obsession”

That’s just because you are biased against Trump, kind of the same type of logic liberals use. Imagine that.

Trump is so undignified and petty that the whole “he’s just pushing back against his attackers” story isn’t going to hold together.

+1

BTW, think of what it says about those making that "pushing back" argument.

ATTACKING KELLY is not a winning idea. Trump would be better off saying I WELCOME HER BACK FROM HER VACATION.

Easily the most moronic, Dole/McCain/Romney-like response he could have given.

If he is a wimp, he will be dismissed.

People want their leaders to be strong and "larger than life." Reagan had it. Clinton had it. Obama has it in a weird, warped way. We don't want a "nice" guy leading us, we want someone who will kick a$$.

NO Republican will EVER be liked by the MSM. The fact that so many of them don't get that is infuriating. They are not the (somewhat) unbiased reporters of the distant past. They are the propaganda arm of the DNC. Trump (not my guy) knows this and DOESN'T CARE. Even better, HE FIGHTS BACK.

Instead of criticizing him, our side should be taking notes and emulating him.

Hmm, I dunno. Boortz always sounded gay to me. He has a wife so I don’t think he is.

And taking the high road gets you walked on, like W and Romney.

Let's all imagine the first debate between a candidate Biden and the RINO establishment milquetoast apologist they put up there.

Yeah, remember Biden in the VP debate with Romney? Hitting below the belt, laughing at Ryan...remember how you sat there with your mouth open in disbelief that a grown man was acting this way. Remember when you thought he lost the debate because he acted...juvenile and insane? Only to wake up to nearly everyone thinking he did AWESOME and kicked ol' Ryan's butt? Remember how Ryan just stood there and took blow after blow. Never even moving to get out of the way?

Gotta stop playing by their rules. It's gotta stop.

We need to break up the beltway cartel. If it’s Cruz, fine. If it’s Trump, fine. Doesn’t matter who does it and long as it’s done.
