Megyn Kelly claims Trump tried to 'woo' her before he announced he was running for president
Daily Mail UK ^ | January 4, 2016 | Ashley Collman

During his campaign, Donald Trump has ridiculed a lot of people but no one more than Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who called him out on his track record of sexist comments in the first Republican debate.

Now Kelly is speaking out to say that the real estate mogul tried to win her over with some creepy correspondence before announcing his candidacy.

In a cover interview with Vanity Fair magazine, the 45-year-old journalist says The Donald used to send her press clippings about her from time to time, signed with his name, and call to talk about segments he liked on her show.

Kelly says she didn't know why Trump had taken an interest in her until he announced he was running for president last year, and then 'it became more clear'.

However, she says that Trump's attempts to get on her good side were pointless.

'I can't be wooed,' she said. 'I was never going to love him, and I was never going to hate him.'

The married mother-of-three spoke in detail about her infamous exchange with Trump during the first Republican debates, in which she confronted the candidate about his history of making demeaning comments about women.

In the interview, Kelly revealed that she actually came close to having to sit out the debates, since she became violently ill the morning of the live television event.

But knowing that her tough questions likely wouldn't get asked if she had to call in sick, Kelly says she powered through the debate despite her illness - hiding a blanket and a bucket to throw up in under the moderators' desk.

Being nice to someone is a lot different than a married woman sleeping with a married man to get favors. Brit, cough Hume, cough.

The thing is, it was a hit job planned ahead of time by all the moderators. It had little to do with her being ‘wooed.’

Do no wrong, and fear no man. Don’t write, and fear no woman.

(BTW — where’s this alleged correspondence? At least Marples and Rather bothered to produce a forged document.)

Well, if he did that she would still have the correspondence, and we’ll know soon enough.

I have my doubts though. If getting called out on national TV over your period didn’t make her mad enough to release it right then and there, it likely does not exist.

“Have you seen Trump’s wife?”

To be fair, the most beautiful woman
in the world has a guy who’s sick of her sh*t.

If Trumps was a misogynist, there would be a laundry list of video, personal accounts, depositions etc. supporting it.

The fact that Kelly lead with the assertion, and how it has failed, speaks volumes.

Sad, because I was a fan of hers. She seemed aggressive, but sensible, until this.

"She is not a moderator; she has become part of the news herself, a fatal transgression."

If she was 1/10th the independent journalistic mind she claims she would "recuse" herself from the January debate.

Or, Fox should replace her if she refuses.

Anyone think maybe she's gunning for Trump in that debate...full of personal animus?

He won’t do her show so this is the only way she can get any Trump time. Pathetic.

Megyn is full of herself. She is a middling Pubbie, ie GOPe. She thought she was “big” enough to take Trump down. She was very wrong. Remains so.

She asked some really stupid and inappropriate questions at the GOP debate. It was done to attack Trump, but also diminish all the candidates, and the debate itself.

I would like to know why the GOP would ever again invite any of these media troglodytes to host their debate. Surely, we can do better.

I don’t think that was Trump trying to ‘woo’ you, Meh....I think he was trying to help your sorry, non-journalistic azz.

And in other news.

Guess who made the cover of lefty Vanity Fair.

Liberal media surrounding the wagons around Hillary.

Yep....she’ll grab on to his coattails, one way or another.

If she doesn’t care for Trump, why is she so obsessed with him? Rather creepy.
