Megyn Kelly claims Trump tried to 'woo' her before he announced he was running for president
Daily Mail UK ^ | January 4, 2016 | Ashley Collman

During his campaign, Donald Trump has ridiculed a lot of people but no one more than Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who called him out on his track record of sexist comments in the first Republican debate.

Now Kelly is speaking out to say that the real estate mogul tried to win her over with some creepy correspondence before announcing his candidacy.

In a cover interview with Vanity Fair magazine, the 45-year-old journalist says The Donald used to send her press clippings about her from time to time, signed with his name, and call to talk about segments he liked on her show.

Kelly says she didn't know why Trump had taken an interest in her until he announced he was running for president last year, and then 'it became more clear'.

However, she says that Trump's attempts to get on her good side were pointless.

'I can't be wooed,' she said. 'I was never going to love him, and I was never going to hate him.'

The married mother-of-three spoke in detail about her infamous exchange with Trump during the first Republican debates, in which she confronted the candidate about his history of making demeaning comments about women.

In the interview, Kelly revealed that she actually came close to having to sit out the debates, since she became violently ill the morning of the live television event.

But knowing that her tough questions likely wouldn't get asked if she had to call in sick, Kelly says she powered through the debate despite her illness - hiding a blanket and a bucket to throw up in under the moderators' desk.

I see Megyn is now trying to Bill Cosby Trump after she got bitch slapped and bulldozed.

Funny how this fake blond, that most likely slept her way to the top, all of sudden plays “I’m a victim” card.

Trump showing class in my opinion by recognizing her as a top rate reporter, which we now know she is not.

This gal had a chance to make things right with him, instead she does this.

Kelly can no longer be an unbiased moderator of the Fox News debate.

Trump should stay home, or campaign in Iowa that night.

A much better use of his time.

She is attempting to do 2 things here.

First, she is attempting to gain the sympathy card for herself. Here she was all sick and puking and Trump was mean to her ... and we should be giving her our sympathies ... and a pass ... for her attacks because of her illness.

Second, she is trying to do the heavy lifting for Hillary and put weight behind Hillary's charges of sexism against Trump.

There is no doubt in my mind that this "announcement" was heavily influenced (as in completely designed and crafted then given to her) by the GOPe. They have tried frontal attacks against Trump and utterly failed. Now they are trying to use proxies to take him out.

“’I can’t be wooed,’ she said. ‘I was never going to love him, and I was never going to hate him.’”

Liar.

She is wooed by the power and fame her show supposedly has.

She clearly has favorites and those she hates (Trump).

She is not some insightful sainted media reporter/opinion-maker.

Without make-up she would be just another local bimbo doing the weather.

“tried to win her over with some creepy correspondence before announcing his candidacy.”

Typical bitch. Used the word “creepy”. It’s a code word women use to slander a man in a such way he that cannot defend himself.

She was a cornerstone on an important network. And there is nothing even slightly creepy about this except to a man hating lying RadFem. This used to be a very common practice for powerful people to cut clippings, and include a short note saying good job.
She has shown her true colors. And along with hers, FOX news.

Wait a minute—she “powered through the debate in spite of her illness”?

Really?

Where is that photo of her and her entourage walking to the stage just efore the debate?

She didn’t look sick then.

How is sending press clippings and wanting to talk about the show - things a smart prospective candidate would do ahead of declaring - “Creepy”?

We always talk about the USSR and the way the press and propaganda was manipulated by them but my God the Soviets seem like heavy handed amateurs compared to the sophisticated message control found in the West - especially here in the so called land of the free.

The USSR had nothing on our own media’s propaganda methods.

I was just thinking that same thought. I saw that photo here on FR.

What the hell is the matter with all of you?
Threatened by a successful female journalist, who asks difficult questions? ...,of everyone?
....like we all wish every journalist would?
...and resorting to middle school name calling?
You should be ashamed.

I just can’t understand why so many on this forum are kneeling before the looming disaster that is Trump. A former liberal, power monger, who will sell his soul or anyone else’s, to line his own pockets. He’s offered nothing tangible as far as a plan. Just one liners. The same BS that we complain about when it comes from the left.
The majority of this formerly conservative forum has lost its way. Which is why you won’t see any recent posts from me. I still read here frequently, but this vile thread is exactly why I’ve lost faith in my fellow freepers.
