According to reporting from CNN’s Brian Stelter, Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes threatened to “got to war” with Donald Trump unless he toned down his criticisms of Fox News and anchor Megyn Kelly.

Stelter reports that the weekend after the debate, Ailes and Trump were engaged in behind-the-scenes talks. Trump wanted an apology from Kelly’s pointed questions, while Ailes wanted Trump to stop the pointed and sexist attacks on one of his anchors.

While they made progress, Ailes reportedly went ballistic on Monday when Trump said on MSNBC that Kelly owed him an apology. We “can resolve this now,” Ailes reportedly said in their last phone call, “or we can go to war.”

Both men reportedly reached an understanding that neither would offer an apology, and that the feud was over.

If Ailes doesn't want sexist attacks on his women anchors perhaps he should have them dress a little less 'sluttily'.
