In a rapidly intensifying back-and-forth between Fox News Channel and the campaign of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, the network Tuesday night accused Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski of threatening FNC host and debate moderator Megyn Kelly.
In a statement, a Fox News spokesperson said "in a call on Saturday with a Fox News executive, Lewandowski stated that Megyn had a 'rough couple of days after that last debate' and he 'would hate to have her go through that again.' Lewandowski was warned not to level any more threats, but he continued to do so. We can't give in to terrorizations toward any of our employees."

Of course, and TRUMP may have even known of it. Giuliani was on Kelly tonight and said he would definitely vote for TRUMP over Cruz. They are personal friends, but mostly he emphasized (and you may have tuned in out of curiosity to her reaction)that Cruz would cost the Republicans entire regions of the country, naming off from Penn and losing all of the NE, losing the West, from California to Oregon, and that he knew a big Democrat with labor that said blacks in New York would be voting in surprising numbers for TRUMP, that he like Reagan can get cross over votes that Republicans could only dream of. A RINGING endorsement.
Kelly injected he (Giuliani) would be in the cabinet. Rudy did not reply. Hmmm. They then cut to a commercial.
The the attack on Trump was not the question. It was the accusations made by Kelly leading to the question. If all other candidates were set up with accusations and then followed up with a question then it might be fair. Trump was singled out by Kelly and the Fox team who screened all the questions. Trump was set up in the first debate and Trump had no reason to believe he would not be setup again in the final debate. Rather than play defence with Fox he decided to go on offence.
Try to take a political-memory course if you get the chance.
Don’t like what?
I was making fun of Megyn Bloody Kelly.
One thing I liked about Trump was his going against the media elites verbally. Including dumb as rocks Kelly.
But, Trump’s daughter did say it was all show for TV.
Still it’s entertaining and strangely satisfying to see Trump browbeat Kelly or Georgie Stephanaplous.
You seem a little overwrought.
She is a woman, blonde and a ratings hit for Fox.
YOU are GOOD!! Perfect capture!
Trump has been waiting for a while to pull this one.
Fox just lost a lot of ratings, and the other candidates just lost a lot of viewers. Most who tune in won’t last long.
He has stuck it to the entire field!
And the rest of the week leading up to the Iowa caucus, everybody will be talking about guess who.
I DVR MJOE. Don’t know when I will actually view it, but will do my best to try and remember to post and ping when I can get a chance. Remind me, if you think about it, tomorrow. .)
Surely they were there for protection, the cops, acting as escorts in the event of any type of exit, good, bad or mad.
Well it's for sure they pi$$ed one off enough for him to drop out of the debate, and rightly so.
Fox, Trump & ifinnegan are always conspiring to eliminate George W. Bush’s brother- what’s his name, from being the supreme overlord of the Universe.
Let us pray...
zactly!
Win-Win for DJT. Cruz can get exposed for a change, but no one will be watching. Heck, I bet Iowans won’t even be watching. ((chuckle.))
Ailes is currently struggling with his two new bosses.
Murdoch turned Fox Corp over to his two LIBERAL sons last July 2015.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Ailes OUT before too much longer.
Just tell me when it’s on then and what channel, and I’ll record it too. :-)
>> Fox News Accuses Trump Campaign Manager of Threatening Megyn Kelly
An issue that, if real, would first appear before a prosecutor , not the public.
Silly.
Without Fox News
Both halves of Murdoch inc stumble
It cash flows like the only whore at an Amazon gold mine on pay day
Rupee still pulls strings too
When he ain’t chasing Jerry Hall around the den
Old coot
Oooooooooooopppppppppppssss...SORRY, I was just battling with some brain dead posters and then came here. I was still in “fight mode”.
1. There were no "accusations" made by Kelly leading to the question. There were facts laid down as a predicate which were acknowledged by Trump to be true. That is not an allegation.
2. It is true that Kelly said the following:
"Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don't use a politician's filter. "
Is that the "accusation" to which you are referring?
How many ways have Trump supporters on this thread alone tried but failed to make Megan Kelly wrong so that Donald Trump can be right? A pattern we have seen repeated daily since he announced his candidacy with virtually anyone with the ill luck to stand in Trump's path to power?
