Donald Trump wasted no time Wednesday morning fanning the flames of his newly reignited feud with Fox News star Megyn Kelly.
"I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct," the Republican presidential front-runner said in an early morning tweet. "Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!"
Trump has taken issue with Kelly since the two faced off in last summer's Fox News debate - the first Republican debate of the 2016 election cycle.
Trump's last throw down with "The Kelly File" host was similarly punctuated by the b-word [Aug 24, 2015].
The rivalry was restarted Tuesday night after the real estate mogul announced through his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, that he would not be participating in Thursday's Republican debate, which is slated to air on Fox News.
In a pre-rally press conference in Iowa City, Iowa, Trump referred to Kelly as a "lightweight" and a "third-rate reporter," and suggested he would be sitting out the debate in favor of a charity event for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Kelly quickly responded on her show by declaring that she would not step down as moderator.
Her network soon followed suit with their own response, accusing Lewandowski of threatening Kelly, and vowing to not to give into "terrorizations."
I'll believe it when I see it. He'd better keep his promise to them.
The way he didn’t was genius to me:-)
So what does Kelly do but bring fat, greasy haired, penis-on-a-stick Michael Moore to her sorry program, whereupon he kisses her ass as she laughs & smiles for the entirety of the segment. Blecch.
How presidential of him. Donald THE ONE Trump. The Twitter President.
This is the best we can do? A man who twits insults like a teenager with a chip in n his shoulder?
We have devolved a lot since Ronsld Reagan was our standard bearer. Now we have no standards to bear.
But....... THE WALL!!!
wouldnt it best for him to implode now rather than if he takes the nomination or gets elected POTUS?
Beats me. They'll have to suffer some navel gazing on that stupid press release though, if they didn't do it last night, they'll do it today.
I don't watch the news, as a general rule, especially not the talking heads variety.
..."So, my advice to these candidates is, don't make me hurt you."
She is that no doubt.
Most people don’t like the “know it all” and “woman attitude” she possesses either.
I can think of a politician that has that problem right now actually.
I have been thinking about this ...
And I realized something.
I love it when Trump attacks... but I only like it when he is attacking people I hate. When he is attacking those I like, it comes across at petty.
I dont dislike Kelly as much as many here do and I certainly dont dislike Cruz, so when he attacks those two... it makes me uncomfortable.
Trump has the ability to easily destroy anyone people are already predisposed to hate.
This will come in REAL handy in the general election against Hillary, because they left hates her almost as much as we do.
I hope so too!
Trump asked reporters âwhy should the networks continue getting rich on the debates?” He also suggested he would hold an event to benefit wounded warriors in Iowa rather than appearing alongside the other Republican hopefuls.
Ain’t that the truth. I think she got that idea from that Charlize Theron “man-bitch” perfume commercial where she climbs effortlessly up some silk curtain or something. A really odd man-hater elegant (what they think) sort of dyke-b!tch look.
I think the key to that look (besides haircut and clothes) is to poke a stick up their keester and leave it there.
Probably not
I remember the third Republican debate in 1980 when James Nowels, a senior reporter with the Chicago Tribune, was planning on asking Ronald Reagan about his harsh criticism of the Soviet Union. Before the debate, Reagan called Nowels a "loser" and "stupid". He said Nowels was a "hack" who's wife "wasn't even a seven". Reagan said he wouldn't attend the debate if Nowels was part of the panel because he was scared of the questions he would be asked.
As many have said here, Trump and Reagan are a lot alike.
That didn't actually happen
Her 9pm slot is a worship hour. Of her.
Why not bring in Jabba the Hutt look alike Moore for some flattering talk?
He's regressing from 7th grade level to elementary school level.
To a point, I agree. But Megyn Kelly is just a b!@tch who is so full of herself it isn’t funny. Donald would do good to just let the process between them go on without any rancor and invective.
I’m not saying she’s a bimbo but...she’s a bimbo.
Twitter is a media form to get at the youth of America. I can’t fault him for trying to get them involved and speaking to them at their level. And here everyone thought that Howie was the King of all media!-)
There. Fixed it.
Throwing a fundraiser for Wounded Warriors doesn’t negate small-minded, petty behavior.
