Fox Hosts Jump To Megyn Kelly's Defense After Trump Doubles Down (Geraldo, Perino, Powers...)
TPM ^ | 8/25/15 | CAITLIN MACNEAL

Posted on 08/25/2015 10:34:29 AM PDT by jimbo123

Though Fox News hosts remained largely silent during Donald Trump's first spat with Megyn Kelly, the channel's personalities were quick to defend their colleague Tuesday morning after Trump again decided to ridicule Kelly.

Trump had patched up his relationship with Fox after commenting that Kelly "had blood coming out of her wherever" during the first Republican presidential debate. However, on Monday night he said Kelly was "off her game" upon returning from vacation. He also retweeted a comment calling Kelly a "bimbo."

During "Fox and Friends" on Tuesday morning, co-host Brian Kilmeade said Trump's tweets attacking Kelly were "totally out of control" and "unwarranted."

"You cannot, you should not be going after her," he said. "He is totally out of bounds reigniting that fight. I don't know if he expects to get ratings out of that, or poll numbers, but he's not going to be successful."

Numerous hosts and contributors on Fox News followed suit with tweets defending Kelly and calling out Trump's retweet of a comment calling Kelly a "bimbo."

I guess you missed Megyn’s snotty interview with Ted Cruz??

I miss everything Kelly does. I cancelled cable and Fox about a year ago. Haven’t missed the yelling and screaming and book selling and fake conservatism one bit.

I support Trump, but I wish a potential POTUS would refrain from Twitter wars with insignificant newsgirls.

He won’t be paying her long. Her ratings will tank. If there was a line in Vegas I would lay money down on it

People will always hate the media worse than even politicians and lawyers. They are truly the worst scum among us and all the while they sit sipping their long island ice teas, laughing at us sheep. When everything finally does go south for the last time these stupid media whore twits will be first ones the zombies take down. Laughable.

I watched Megyn’s entire show last evning....& if Roger Ailes has a brain in his head...he would fire her immediately!!! The moment Megyn opend her mouth on that debate stage and took that baseless cheap shot at Donald Treump....she destroyed her career!!! Ailes broom her now......or Fox News Channel will go down!!! You can tell Megyn and your viewers...”it’s not personal, just good business”!!!

Think you have it backwards. Fox is siding with the establishment against their viewers. Very. Bad. Business.

Good to see fellow freepers on to the severe limitations of Fox news.

Megyn was bashing Trump and promoting Bush on immigration on her show last night.

So she provoked Trump?

I am a female and I want my President to go at someone with guns blazing. That is how our President going forward will have to deal with every tinhorn defacto dictator that wants to poke the Eagle. This gotta play nice sh*t is how we got in this whole freaking mess in the first place and it needs to stop. Let everyone know how big your brass b*lls are and that you won’t be letting your wife carry them for you in her purse. The world needs to know that we are not to be screwed with, especially not by snotty, smart ass snarky little Kellymegyn. She has given cr*pped in her nest a new meaning. If it was left to me she would be on a corner, selling pencils.

Trump needs to take the high road. Best thing to do is ignore Megan. Big egos can’t stand to be ignored. She’ll eventually implode.

Nawwww, I love every bloody nose Trump is handing out, keep it coming. Its our turn baby. Been a long time coming. Besides he needs warm up for when he is President. I want him warmed up for kicking ass, starting now. Why wait? If he can kick some media prom queen to the curb that is one less media slime that will bite his ankles.
