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."

I just wonder how much advertisers are asking for in refunds, or if they were sensible enough to include ratings numbers in the commitment contract. That’s a whole lot of draw that just walked off the stage.

KELLY: Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don’t use a politician’s filter. However, that is not without its downsides, in particular, when it comes to women.

You’ve called women you don’t like “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.”

(LAUGHTER)

Your Twitter account…

TRUMP: Only Rosie O’Donnell.

(LAUGHTER)

KELLY: No, it wasn’t.

(APPLAUSE)

Your Twitter account…

(APPLAUSE)

TRUMP: Thank you.

KELLY: For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell.

TRUMP: Yes, I’m sure it was.

KELLY: Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president, and how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who was likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?

[dforest]

Yep, they thought they had Trump over a barrel. Apparently it didn’t work so well for them.

The other news channels are lovin’ it.

[uncitizen]

Omg! 70% of Fox viewers?!

[bray]

Looks like he just gave Ailes and Murdoch a lesson in NY values.

[ifinnegan]

“Maybe you should like go to that consistent place so you can talk Ted. You ain’t making any sense here.”

A-OK.

That made perfect sense!

[The_Media_never_lie]

Don’t they (Fox) have any sane adults in charge any more?

[Norseman]

Oh Theo. Don’t spoil all the fun they’re having.

[tennmountainman]

Faux News is going to find a person to blame for that tweet that mocked
Trump and fire that person in a big public way.

[Boonie]

You know, it was my thought that moderators were supposed to ask questions of debaters...

[TontoKowalski]

Well, if they do, they're going to have to explain that second release they did after Trump took a pass on the debate.

[Boonie]

In charge??? Nope...
FOX has not only “jumped the shark”, they’ve flown out the window and over the cuckoo’s nest....

[RC one]

The Five are definitely in the tamk for Jeb Bush with the exception of Eric Bolling...perhaps. I will watch them a little bit but I no longer feel inclined to sit through an entire episode which used to be part of my pre-work ritual.

[BigEdLB]

I wouldn’t be surprised if FOX accuses the Trump campaign of hacking in and sending the tweet...

[SteveH]

...some of those questions maybe fed to fox by the rnc...

[tennmountainman]

I’m actually enjoyed watching CNN trash Faux earlier.

[montag813]

She get’s me ready for work - yeh, I’m a perv....

LOL...she's always been my favorite too

[Boonie]

All the media, “professional politicians”, GOPe, and DC insiders have thought they had Trump “over a barrel”...It has, every single time, backfired on all of them...

They don’t have a clue how to handle him....I LOVE IT!!!!!

Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president, and how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who was likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?

Sounds like a question to me.
