Megyn Kelly Calls Her Trump Interactions ‘Attempted Bullying’ — ‘Felt Like Being a Hostage’
Breitbart ^ | November 16, 2016

Posted on 11/16/2016 5:07:13 PM PST by maggief

Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Shepard Smith Reporting,” network “The Kelly File” host Megyn Kelly talked to Shepard Smith about the months-long ordeal she experienced in her back-and-forth with then-GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Kelly, who was promoting her book “Settle for More,” did not say she thought it was outright bullying she experienced, but “attempted bullying” from the now-president-elect.

“When it started happening with Trump, it was like this is familiar,” she said. “I’ve been through this before. And so it’s always good to find a silver lining. But I would say that was one. I had already experienced a year of bullying.”

“Then when Trump did it, you knew what it was?” Smith replied.

“I always take a little issue with the notion he bullied me,” she said. “I think the technical definition of bullying is somebody tries to strong-arm you into compliance and then you comply. And so, I feel like it was an attempted bullying.”

“Attempted bullying?” Smith said.

“Yeah, because he never got me to comply,” Kelly continued.

A bully who comes off second best either fades into the background or complains about being bullied by the intended victim that bloodied his nose.

Fox is trying to find its place in the mainstream, as in MSM.

I have not watched Fox or anyone else since the early 2000s. I knew back then they were not telling the truth..

Lost all respect for Megan. She is becoming desperate to extend her 15 minutes and it’s embarrassing to watch

Megan Kelly is the worst role model for any woman who believes in equality on the job.

The only men who would ever write stupid things like this are homosexuals. That's all you need to know about this twit.

I am a supporter of Lou Dobbs on FBN, and that’s pretty much it. O’Gasbag, Kelly, Baer, Hume are all off my list. Judge Jeannine and Hannity, maybe depending on who’s on with them.

She has made a career out of bullying interviewees, but when someone fights back they either get:

A) Banned (Gingrich)
B) Called a bully (Trump)

She isn’t long for Fox and I doubt anyone else will match already too high salary.

Lighten up Megyn. Trump won, you lost. Go down to Starbacks and get yourself a nice latte.
