The feud between Donald Trump and Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has become one of the biggest political stories of 2015, and political junkies across the country have been eagerly awaiting the January 28th rematch to see which — if any — of the media moguls would land the final, devastating blow.
The GOP frontrunner’s animosity toward Megyn Kelly dates back to the first debate of the primary season. In the opening rounds of questioning, Megyn Kelly asked how Donald Trump would respond to Hillary Clinton’s inevitable accusation that he is part of the Republican “war on women.”
She elaborated with comments Trump had made previously, saying, “You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs’ and ‘disgusting animals'” and suggested that he had made lewd comments to a woman, claiming he’d said to a woman on The Apprentice she would be a “pretty picture on her knees.” The question brought the crowd into an uproar, as the question came off particularly tough, even for Megyn Kelly. Some were delighted by the question, but others were outraged.
As for Trump, he laughed it off initially, but hours later launched a late-night twitter rampage against Kelly that has been ongoing ever since. He called her over-rated, retweeted a user who called her a “bimbo,” then allegedly suggested that Kelly was on her period during the debate, telling CNN that she had “blood coming out of her… whatever.”
In short, they didn’t exactly hit it off.
Now, after a week of intense back and forth between Fox News and Donald Trump regarding Megyn Kelly’s involvement as a moderator, Donald has put a kibosh on the upcoming altercation altogether.
Donald Trump will not participate, but it’s not only about Kelly. Trump is accusing Fox news of ‘playing games’ with a set of press releases.
See how the story escalates on the next page:
Trump will win this one easily, Fox News just screwed themselves.
Mark if saying the truth is an idiot Yes but you are a fool.
A politician, complaining about the media. This is hilarious! They work for the same 1% Masters!
FOX is not the only one playing a game. Trump is throwing a tantrum just like a spoiled child because he did not get his way. Just what we need is a new president.
Stand your ground. From strength you deal.
It’s a Sham! Hey Donald you are going to loose Iowa anyway, however set out the debate Thursday and let the Field beat up on Ted Cruz instead of you getting exposed for the fraud that you are. Wait and see if the Duck and Fox News are not the best of friends on Friday. With the talking points saying that Donald was the winner for not showing up. The media tried to shove jeD down our throats. Now Fox is doing the same, however they are protecting the Donald and pretending that they are enemies.
Hey Mr. Trump, will you please just buy Fox and fire all of them?
The self proclaimed best negotiater in the world couldn’t negotiate this spat. Donald shows that he is like BHO in that negotiation to him means it get’s done his way.
It’s a real shame that this is the fate of our great country. It seems that it is no longer a debate of ideas of who can lead us in a direction of prosperity. It is now a debate of bigger egos, the most heated words, and ratings!
Now that Trump has pulled out of the debate and is boasting about the fundraiser for Wounded Warriors which is purposely scheduled to run the same time as the debate, is a blatant attempt to steal viewership and ratings.
How is this supposed to informing the people, isn’t this process about the people’s country! This infighting is what is bringing our world down and showing other nations that we are petty!
Shame on us for feeding the egos that are infecting our political process. And that is just my view from the border.
