Trump Tweets Outrage over ‘Balls’ Comment: Fox ‘Owes Me an Apology’
Mediaite ^ | September 23, 2015 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 09/24/2015 4:43:25 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

The media world was waiting for it and Donald Trump delivered Wednesday night, performing his now nightly Twitter assault on Fox News after announcing his boycott of the network earlier in the day.

This time, the GOP frontrunner’s outrage came after the National Review’s Rich Lowry suggested that Carly Fiorina “cut [Trump’s] balls off with the precision of a surgeon” at the CNN Republican debate, much to host Megyn Kelly’s shock. “You can’t say that,” Kelly said. For once, she and Trump agreed.

Considering past political debating of the 1800’s, this stuff is tame. Real tame.

Yep, there is a group here that hates Trump and will do/say anything to attack him. They are obviously losers.

Indeed Johnny. It is more than hating Trump, it is a mental disorder.

“Worrisome that he takes any attack personally.”

George W used your strategy and it got us 8 years of Obama.

And W. was attacked for not fighting back against the media. The losers want it both ways. It makes their agenda pretty obvious.

You DO have a president who tweets. Phew.

Anyway, if Lowry thinks that Fiorini’s remark - not exactly a Churchillian witticism - is going to wreck Trump's standing in the polling, he better get another job. And soon.

“Hard to vote for a man this thin skinned.”

He’s the most successful “thin-skinned” businessman in American history!

Trump was on Morning Joe (Ha Ha FNC) a little while ago and said this:

“I mean you had this loser on last night, this guy Lowry, I’d never even heard of him. He was so out of control, lost control of himself. It was actually sad,” Trump said in a phone interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday. “I guess you gotta take a guy like that off the air. I watched it, actually.”

The billionaire mogul dismissed the notion from host Joe Scarborough that he should ignore chatter from conservative pundits.

“Well I think that a lot of people would not ignore,” he said. “I have this thing called Twitter and Facebook, which is amazing, actually. It’s like owning The New York Times without the losses.

With Twitter and Facebook, “you’re able to fight back,” he explained.

no, that’s not my strategy.

He comes off as whiny and thin skinned.

He said what he wanted about fox half a dozen times already.

what if he gets insulted in another country’s newspaper every day, which he will. This is bad and has to stop.

I support Trump over Fox or the NR/GOPe/RINO wuss Lowry.

But it would be pretty funny if Lowry explained that he was talking about the metaphorical balls of confidence spinning around Trump—not something so base as only a base mind like Trump could have imagined he was referring to.

Last night was the first time that I intentionally did not watch Fox News in many, many years. I made up my mind Wednesday that the network was a total shill for the Republican party and GOPe. and I couldn’t take it any more.

I’m sure that there are many of us who have come to the same conclusion.

It’s a shame, for there are some good programs on there such as Hannity and Judge Jeanine. I’m going to miss them.

The news is not news anymore and hasn’t been for many years...it’s simply propaganda spewed forth from the highest bidder, Republican, Democrat or Socialist. Ratings are everything and news is not news unless it boosts ratings.

I thought that remark was hysterical, and it was a remark said with boldness. I read Trump is boycotting Fox “for the foreseeable future”. I guess conducting Twitter War-Mud Fights with critics doesn’t count.
Donalds style is beginning to overshadow his actual substance.

I bet Lowrey and Billie Kristol think about that a lot. Only Fox would consider either of them deep thinkers.

Zing! Put some ice on that, main stream media hacks!

Lowry should apologize to Trump & the audience - it was vulgar

“what if he gets insulted in another country’s newspaper every day, which he will. This is bad and has to stop”

As of yet, people in other countries don’t vote in our presidential elections.

Did you hear anyone tell Carly that she was whiny and thin skinned when a private comment was made public? Have you ever heard anything like what Lowery said on TV? You mean to tell me that Trump should remain silent about the insult?

I don’t believe you. Or, you may be one of those passive types who believe the loudest voice in the room.

I just criticized you. Are you going to let it lie, just like you did NOT just previously. You responded.

Were you being whiny and thin skinned?

Lowry doubles down

Wonder if Trump is consulting his lawyers. They've been busy lately.

‘Somehow, it would bother me to have a president who “tweets”’

People probably said the same about a POTUS who would appear on TV, back when it was the ‘newfangled’ ‘craze.’

Fox is for the Won, and has been for quite some time now, which is why I boycotted them a few years ago. Remember, whatever the Won says it is the opposite we should be looking at for there will be the truth.

Fox had a rep for being conservative. Is there anyone here who still thinks that is the case? I’m happy Trump is exposing them and he is right to boycott them too.

"People like you, who have had their balls cut off, would think that."

Even at that I would cry less than that crybaby. Hey Donnie, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. Try actually preparing for a debate and you wont have to lose to a girl.
