Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump may be ready to finally call it quits on the Megyn Kelly trash talking.
Trump said in a radio interview with Laura Ingraham on Wednesday that he watched Kelly's Fox News show the previous evening and that he liked it "very much."
"Actually I watched her show last night, she was very nice and I appreciated it," Trump said of the Fox anchor he has criticized since the network's GOP presidential debate in early August.
Asked if he was done with the fight, Trump said that he is and that he had spoken with Fox CEO Roger Ailes.
"Roger Ailes is great," Trump said. "Roger Ailes is a special guy. He's a good friend of mine. We just spoke two minutes ago and Roger Ailes is a great guy and no, I have no problem and I actually liked her show very much last night, if you want to know the truth."
Trump's feud with Kelly goes back to the first Republican presidential debate, hosted by Fox in early August. There, Kelly asked him to defend his previous public comments about some women being "pigs" and other disparaging things. Trump went on a media tour after, charging that Kelly's questions of him were "unfair."
When Kelly went on a vacation thereafter, Trump said in interviews and on social media that it was probably because he attacked her. When she returned to her show on Monday, Trump posted negative messages on Twitter about her and her performance.
Ailes released a statement Wednesday calling on Trump to apologize for his comments about Kelly but Trump has declined, maintaining instead that Kelly should be the one to apologize to him.
A spokesperson for Fox did not return a request for comment.
Great post....
that’s a dumb ass childish response if I ever heard one. You have no basis for that.
What are you referring to....I'll be happy to answer.
"Roger Ailes is great," Trump said. "Roger Ailes is a special guy. He's a good friend of mine. We just spoke two minutes ago and Roger Ailes is a great guy and no, I have no problem and I actually liked her show very much last night, if you want to know the truth."
If you are talking about the coms guy statement, I know exactly WTF I’m talking about. I know these people...have worked with them before.....I know of what I speak here.
Like you on some tech jobs stuff, THIS IS my bailywick. Again, you’re not man enough to admit when you’re out of yours.
Hey, I like Megyn Kelly very much. This tiff between Trump and her is silly. If Trump can’t handle questions as abrasive as the one Megyn asked him, there’s something wrong with him. Get over it, Donald, and ask her to kiss and make up.
I see I’m the subject of 7 out of your last 8 posts on FR. I mean, I know I’m fascinating...but damn dude...you need to get out more. I have several homes, I don’t need to live rent free in your head.
I think you totally missed what Ed said. He was not criticizing Cruz’ communication skills, but said that he had a bad communications “expert” on staff.
True, and neither was I excusing Cruz for taking bad advice. If he does, that's on him. But I do know this particular skunk....
Got anything on the Atlantic ocean for November rental? 8^)
I don’t know that it will STAY over. Read today that
Me-again Kelly has Jorge Ramos booked for her show. We’ll see how well she defends Trump’s actions. Perhaps that program could be her mea culpa to Trump.
Operative word: “Was”
nah, nothing far south enough to be good enough for November. Wish I did....wish I had one in the Keys or Caribe...but alas.....
It’d look terrible for Trump to do that now. Better he just learn to tweet a little more carefully.
South Carolina barrier islands are ideal in November, IMO. Warm beach days, cool light sweater nights.
It’s tough to beat the Low Country!
I love the low country....Kiawah is just magic. I love the whole Charleston-Savannah area...but for me, in November, I gotta go further south.
I live on the coast of NC....we’re heading to Nicaragua on the Pacific for most of November....
Not likely
No matter how pretty or how nice she seems, there is some guy out there that hates her guts
The ball is in her court. I don’t trust her to let it go yet.
I used to think I liked her but no more...she revealed herself. You were exactly right - “a trap in a dress” who would be happy to destroy a career.
