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."

Tough, Fox. Eat your peas. You bought and paid for them.

Megyn does not understand that she is a TV reader, nothing more.

She ought to shut her trap and report the news...not try to make it.

Hannity is the blue collar, not as bright O’Reilly.

Donald, let it go. She’s just a goldfish in a sea among sharks. You should be focusing on the issues and continue to carry those forward. Remember you mission. Remember. She’s history written in the pages. Give her no more time or reference. Ignore the cracker and go for the wine. We will need it for celebrating. Don’t waste your time and the small fish.

Sean Hannity tells his ‘friend’ Donald Trump to ‘leave @megynkelly’ alone. Exit question: And if he doesn’t?

Megyn — if you didn’t ask that ridiculous line of questioning in the debate, nobody would be having this conversation.

By the way, put your big girl pants on vacation is over.

Trump does need to move away from this and talk issues. Nobody cares about some bimbo blonde reporter.

Kelly took Hannity’s slot. too contrived for him to be rushing to her defense .

I could do without Fox , but not Trump. If we loose trump, planned parenthood , pro - polyamory kelly will walk all over the other squishes.

I’m sorry Fox News but you attacked first.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

You guys have been attacking Trump and pushing your little boy Jeb....

If you want the attacks to stop, then treat Trump fair instead of all the personal vindictive attacks.

Treat Trump the way you treat Jeb, and everything will be okay.
