Roger Ailes Defends Megyn Kelly’s Debate Performance …Donald Trump Responds
Gateway Pundit ^ | 08/25/15 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/25/2015 1:47:36 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Last night Donald Trump welcomed Megyn Kelly back from vacation with this tweet:

""@PatrickStinard: @megynkelly Kelly File was much better without Megyn Kelly. Her replacement while she was out on vacation was much better!"

Today Roger Ailes accused Donald Trump of “verbal assault” and defended controversial Megyn Kelly’s debate performance.

Fox News CEO released a statement on the attacks by Trump Tuesday: “Donald Trump’s surprise and unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly during her show last night is as unacceptable as it is disturbing. Megyn Kelly represents the very best of American journalism and all of us at Fox News Channel reject the crude and irresponsible attempts to suggest otherwise,”

Ailes statement reads. “I could not be more proud of Megyn for her professionalism and class in the face of all of Mr. Trump’s verbal assaults.

Her questioning of Mr. Trump at the debate was tough but fair, and I fully support her as she continues to ask the probing and challenging questions that all presidential candidates may find difficult to answer,” Ailes said.

Enter the Donald: Here is his response:

“I totally disagree with the FOX statement. I do not think Megyn Kelly is a quality journalist. I think her questioning of me, despite all of the polls saying I won the debate, was very unfair. Hopefully in the future I will be proven wrong and she will be able to elevate her standards to a level of professionalism that a network such as FOX deserves. ” Trump said. Trump said that what’s more important are his high poll numbers.

Hillary Clinton, Media Matters, and The New York Times all praised Megyn Kelly for her debate performance

Right. What inside source do you have - some guy down where you get your hair cut? Do you honestly think she would have anything to do with that old creep?

Are you insane?

Today’s tweet from Trump was NOT about the debate, it was in response to the hit jump on him last night - her first show back, with no opportunity for a response. In short, it was a cheap shot.

He was right to respond in kind and not lay down so halfwits like you might feel better. Wake up, genius.

The fact that Aisles is crying about it... yes Trump won again.

Why can’t Kelly stand up for herself instead of disappearing for 2 weeks and now hiding behind an old man?

The last time I checked Trumps numbers were up while Kelly’s were down.

Trump was right about Meg’s questions! I don’t watch her at all since then but never did much before the debate! Trump needs to march on and smack Jeb some more! Jeb Bush made a fool out of himself trying to be tuff!! LOL! Way more exciting to go after him and Hillary swipe it clean server/criminal!

Because she has no ground to stand on. She still owes Trump an apology and she sohuldn’t expect Trump to play nice with her until she offers one.

My criticism of the Fox debate was that the moderators tried to out slime the slime stream media. A task they failed at.

I am sorry, but it is a rumor I heard. Don’t necessarily believe it myself, but she is hot and he is not. He has also thrown down for her hard core. It is just something to keep an eye out for. Fox has a rabid anti Trump contingent. Perino I get. Kraut, well its ego. Gutfeld, no clue. Hume, hmmmmmm. Bair, hmm, Ailes I get since Murdoch hates Trump. Whorealdo... hispanics waaaaaaaabooohooo, so that makes sense too.

Hume and Bair are the doesn’t compute for me.

Heard the rumor, and it would fill in the blanks. Bair is Humes heir apparent, so don’t piss off the boss. Hume, cause he is getting some sweet sweet luvin.

Its just a rumor, but it is a plausible possibility given anti characteristic actions by the people the rumor is about.
