Real-estate magnate Donald Trump fired off multiple furious tweets Wednesday night after a crude remark was used against him on Fox News.
Rich Lowry, the editor of the conservative magazine National Review, declared that the Republican presidential front-runner is attacking rival Carly Fiorina because she emasculated him at last week's presidential debate.
"Part of what's going on here is that last debate. Let's be honest: Carly cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon and he knows it," Lowry said during a Fox News interview, according to video posted by Mediaite.
Host Megyn Kelly was shocked.
"What did you just say?!" Kelly said. "You can't say that."
But Trump, who has fiercely feuded with both Fox News and Kelly, wasn't satisfied with her admonishment.
He trashed Lowry on Twitter as "incompetent" and "clueless," demanded an apology, and suggested that the Federal Communications Commission should fine Lowry as a result.

National Review has long ceased to be anything more than yet another mouthpiece of the GOPe...nothing more.
I used to LOOOVE National Review, but now I realize it was just an illusion.
Bill Buckley left the building a lomg time ago...
Really a shame. Fox, National Review.
I got angry before because Trump pays attention to their comments and then fires back every time, but if that’s working, so be it.
Yup, it’s working alright.
The political and media elites still don’t get that the source of Trump’s popularity is that he doesn’t idly stand by and take hits like this. He fights back.
Every scenario like this one only ends up with him stronger.
Being crude should be left to leftists. Conservatives have no need for that kind of thing.
Pretty disgusting.
National Review fired Ann Coulter in a quick knee jerk reaction. They have been PC jerks ever since.
Somebody needs to wipe that smirk off her face. Maybe Trump's lawyers.
A conservative wouldn’t use that kind of language on TV Not even against Obama. It is imprudent to say the least.
I would almost venture to say that Megan Kelly pre-planned the comment regarding Donald Trump. She is out for Trump and probably got together with her guest to make the shocking comment. It put Megan's name out in front and she can live rent free in Trump's head. ...
... and it worked. The Donald took the bait.
I have been a subscriber to the print addition for more than two decades, but after this subscription runs its’ course I will not be renewing. I find that where I used to read it cover to cover as soon as I received it, now I can barely read it at all. Often I throw it away all but unread.
Since they saw fit to abandon Mark Stein It has become more an more apparent that they are simply run of the mill GOP cowards.
Judging from that photo, Lowery never had a set for anyone to cut off.
pro immigration Rino on the Koch Brothers payroll.
Bill Buckley was an intellectual
“Since they saw fit to abandon Mark Stein It has become more an more apparent that they are simply run of the mill GOP cowards.”
You’ll have to add John Derbyshire to that list. He was the first to go, after Lowery finally noticed he was a staunch conservative.
LMAO!!!
I think Rich just wanted to talk dirty to Megan after finding out she’s that kind of girl with Howard Stern.
Rich Lowery is Mr. Male Hormone.
