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!"

OK Donnie; time to stop this sh*t. You’re acting like a 4th Grader. You’re losing your cred dude. This is the kind of stuff that make the GOP Establishment and the media say that your candidacy will fade because people will “tire” of crap like this. It’s freakin’ time to let it go. Damn!

Donald Trump does not belong in the same sentence as General Grant. It would be a hilarious comparison if it wasn’t so damn stupid.

“For every person on Free Republic who thinks it’s cool to call a reporter a bimbo on Twitter (these are the people e-mailing “pwnd” gifs), there are 100 people who are just embarrassed for him.”

That must be why he’s doing so badly in the polls. /s

You couldn’t be more right. Can anyone imagine Ronald Reagan calling someone a bimbo?

Well, I don’t believe he ever called her a bimbo, someone else tweeted that to him.

“these are the things that may make it difficult to win over the sensitive types.”

gays? I guess we have a few here in this thread. He’s not being PC enough and it’s hurting their feelings.

I wrote down who she quoted tonight as a so called conservative think tank to knock Trumps plan to round up illegals. I wrote it down because she is sneaky when she quotes sources. (I learned that when she quoted a liberal think tank to knock Gingriches tax plan in 2012.) Anyway, she quoted American Action Forum. “It will take him 20 years to do this and at great expense.” Well guess what? The GOPe is behind this so called conservative think tank! Check it out!!

Trump is a counter puncher - he doesn’t start many fights but he finishes them.

Did you read the article? Apparently not, because he sure as hell is starting this one. As much as I loathe Megyn Kelly, she will probably show more class than Trump and just ignore him like you ignore any little, Elementary School brat.

Neither do I except primitively

“Nah, not Freepers generally, just a (very) vocal contingent.”

Would you call Jim Robinson too vocal as well?

Haven't you seen? They've moved beyond comparing him to Reagan. Now he's like Ulysses S. Grant. Because he "fights" on Twitter. Or something.

Oh, you mean like during the debate?

She's below classless. Bought and paid for.

There was no TWITTER back then, but Harry S. Truman went after every single "music critic" and journalist who went after his daughter Margaret's piano playing. And that was as president.

You just hate Trump and troll every single thread about him.

“Grant? Grant???? Are you seriously comparing Donald Trump to Ulysses S. Grant??? My word.

Grant was a humble, decent man who bravely led his men to battle. Actual battles, that is. Trump is a brash egomaniac who “fights” Twitter feuds. Trump (and his “bone spurs”) would not be fit to shine Grant’s shoes.”

Grant was humble, but he was a raging alcoholic too (probably why he was a humble man. Reminds me of my Grandfather when he was sober versus drunk). Trump does remind me of Grant in a way, but in Trump’s own peculiar way. Both were forceful and daring. Trump isn’t a General for God’s sake (I never said that!), but he was POTUS. Why are YOU comparing Trump to Grant only in the context of being a General? I didn’t.

Her and indiot Chris Stirewalt were also laughing at Trump’s immigration plan. Stirewalt said Bush’s is a serious proposal and blew off Trump’s. Stirewalt says Trump is not a serious candidate every time his mouth opens so he’ll probably be a regular guest of Bloody Megyn.

I find consolation in this: When people finally say, "Hey, Trump dude is really getting obnoxious; he would rather act childish than act like a mature adult who wants to occupy the Oval Office as the leader of the Free World" and when his support starts dropping off, I'm thinking 90% of them will go to Ted Cruz. Now, there is a guy who is the grown-up in the room, is brilliant and sharp. I predict right now, Ted Cruz will be the GOP nominee.

“Putin would love, LOVE for Trump to win the election.”

Don’t just leave us hanging. Please explain why.

General, POTUS, man. There is no context in which Trump belongs in the same universe as Grant.
