Trump Tweets Outrage over ‘Balls’ Comment: Fox ‘Owes Me an Apology’

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.

How we criticized Bush for never speaking up and defending himself but when Trump does he is called a crybaby. I felt Bush by his silence left supporters appearing to be all the negatives he was called just by association. Well I am happy Trump stands up to the BS.

I know zip about Twitter and can’t understand how it works. But I really think it is great that someone who wants to be my President talks directly to the people and does not wait for some talking head to tell us their impression of what he said.

Kelly and Lowry staged this disgraceful comment .

Lowry should be fired for crossing a line that decent people .That NRO is a
Uniparty news run by this fifthly gutter mouth DC establishment hack. Fox News , Murdoch ,and Ailes are lost in a sea of hate. This comment was a sick set up by the Gope and Murdoch smear machine.

“I have this thing called Twitter and Facebook, which is amazing, actually. It’s like owning The New York Times without the losses."

Now that's pretty funny right there.

[dp0622]

boy you just said something really ridiculous.

I’m for Cruz first and Trump second.

Do a little reading of someone’s posts before you insult.

Incredibble.

[orinoco]

That comment by Lowry, a GOPe supporter, attacked Trump personally and with vile to millions of potential voters. Since Lowry is a coward and will not say that to Trump in person Trump must respond. Twitter is a great tool.
The media broadcasts these tweets and so Trump can fight back.

Fox is for the GOPe and are attempting to take down Trump. Their pundits are the same as other primary challengers and they are fair game for a counter response. Trump understands their tactics and is doing the right thing by fighting back.
No more business as usual with Fox or anyone else during this campaign. Trump is not thin skinned he is a warrior fighting for the vote.

‘I have no way of knowing but I will take a guess that Trump is actually “feeling the pulse” of the voters through many of the tweets he receives....and that is good.’

You intuited this correctly. Before he quit on FOX, Trump retweeted a slew of his followers’ complaints re FOX. Trump’s Twitter army was furious, disgusted and fit to be tied. Mostly what we get from professional politicians in similar cases is inaction; we’re told there’s nothing that can be done.

Trump took action. Many don’t like it, but Trump’s Twitter brigade is ecstatic.

“The fact that people can’t stop whining about Trump’s supposed whining (and ignoring the strategy) shows he’s on the right track.”

Exactly right.

I haven’t been a huge Trump supporter and there aren’t any “GO TRUMP” posts in my posting history, but the deluded hateful and intolerant alleged Freepers have definitely increased my interest in him, and I’m loving to see him never simply accept all the coordinated attacks like the last Republican president did.

New leftist FReak buzzwords today — “whining”, “thin-skinned” and “no-balls Trump”.

TOO FUNNY, TDS FReaks!

[ScottinVA]

Then, there’s the group that spins every behavior, insult and action by Trump as absolute brilliance. There’s some obvious ignorance there as well.

[treetopsandroofs]

“How we criticized Bush for never speaking up and defending himself but when Trump does he is called a crybaby.”

Unbelievable, isn’t it?

WTF has happened to FR? Is it really about 25% leftist FReaks — 50% on the Trump hit threads — now?

[mastertex]

It’s great that they (Fox News) admitted he has Balls to cut off....Obama doesn’t............

[ncalburt]

Of course it was staged .
The networks have a 15 second delay to remove comments like this one.
If this disgusting comment was not staged then it would have been removed.

This action by Fox tells us all how dedicated this Murdoch and a
DC K street creep like Lowry is to stopping Trump and keeping the establishment in power!
They are scared and desperate and now resorting to using crass - vulgar comments .

[lodi90]

Do you want massive amnesty like these creeps ?. Do you want Disastrous treaties for K street ? You sound like a Dem party plant.

I think FR is getting consulted and campaigned by PR “conservative outreach” flaks for campaigns. I’m starting to see a bunch of Rubio fans here all of the sudden. We’re being astroturfed, IMO.

.

Rich Lowry began his career as a research assistant for Charles Krauthammer.

[DH]

“Why is she still floundering in the polls if she won so big?”
I don’t like her but her numbers doubled after the debate. Trump’s dropped 8 points.

---

Just how do you know that as FACT? Come on, tell us...you heard it on TV didn’t you? And...what poll did that information come from? What did the other polls say?

You can’t believe but only 30% of what you hear in the biased news. These polls are designed to discourage voters who have the driving need (like lemmings) to follow the crowd and vote for the candidate “they think” is the overwhelming potential winner.

NEVER BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ OR HEAR unless you research it vigorously before accepting it.

[pugmama]

Thanks for saying what I was thinking Bray.

[Fantasywriter]

The poll in which Trump lost ground sampled a large number—half, iirc—of Democrats. The polls that sample Republicans and Independents [i.e.: the most likely GOP primary voters] never reflected any lost ground.

[circlecity]

"NEVER BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ OR HEAR unless you research it vigorously before accepting it."

So, since TV says Trump is leading that may be just hogwash and he may be in last?

And with publications like Salon testing the waters, it looks like the SC may be seeing a constitutional right for pedophilia soon. I thought the perverts would at least try bestiality or polyamorous mirages first, I thought it would still be too soon for “mainstream” types to jump right to pedophilia, but apparently their victories on behalf of perversion and their successful ( and backed by the courts) persecution of Christians has emboldened them to the point where they know they don’t need to wait any longer and utilize more incrementalism, they can just go for the end goal. When the courts legalize pedophilia, look out America, judgement is going to pour down on this country, and we will deserve it.

There's an old Hollywood maxim that says any publicity is good publicity.

Sure Trump responds to all these petty attacks from the left. And what is the result? Trump's name is in the news all day every day.

Other than politics junkies who can name all the candidates? No one. But EVERYONE can name Trump and almost everyone can state his policies. AND HE DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY A DIME TO GET THAT EXPOSURE!!

The guy is using the media against itself and there is NOTHING they can do about it. He's brilliant.
