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."

Trump is ALL IN at the flop. FNC Jeb fanboys and fangirls are calling with dead hands.

As was noted on this earlier discussion ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3328858/posts )…… “Last night Kelly on her show had two guests, one a weeny gop consultant, and they badmouthed Trump for several minutes. It was AFTER this that Trump made his tweets. You won't hear about the precipitating factor from the media. In other words, Megyn didn't take him on head to head or fearlessly, as she likes to consider herself, and instead hid behind two men, and had them make the offending comments as she sat there innocently nodding in agreement and leading them on. Strong women speak for themselves, and don't need to hide behind men’s trousers. Not fair and balanced, and not the way real women compete with men.”

As I recollect, Kilmeade used the word ‘unprofessional’ when discussing Trump’s tweets. I think that sometimes Trump would help himself if he explained his rationale before just blasting away…..Fox and Friends has actually been good to Trump as they have had him on for a 10 minute interview every Monday morning for qujite a long time.

Trump seems to have sided with Obama and the Libs against Fox. Not a very smart move.

Hannity is dense and doesn't the positions he rightly espouses. Nor does he debate his leftie callers and guests well at all because he is dense and misses the point almost every time with friend or foe.

Oreilley is an instinctive liberal who decided to make a lot of money as a talk host. He is smart enough to know one can't do that as a liberal so he adopted the necessary views. Sometimes he gets it wrong, however, if he has not researched Conservative Views on a particular point and then has to back track or shut up about it or paint himself into an untenable corner defending it. Both will end up supporting Bush.

Trump is sending a clear message to the media: You will be put on defense, not me. I love it. It is why he’s winning. He’s taking it to the media and it is long overdue! They have never had to deal with this before.

Why would any anyone that calls themselves a “News Network” and have on staff, a two-bit phony Heraldo, a reject from PBS Juan, a loser like Colmes, a GOPe Perino, a Wallace who won his job because of his last name, and so on to idiocy. They have been a failure for years so what they have to say is not relevance.

Most of what they have to say is little more then a regurgitation of the Inside of the Beltway BS. Faux eggheads trying to look and act like intellectuals and not making it.

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