Trump reignites Megyn Kelly feud with 'bimbo' tweet
The Hill ^ | 8/24/15 | N.Zimmerman

Posted on 08/24/2015 8:17:26 PM PDT by VinL

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly returned Monday night to host The Kelly File following a 10-day vacation, but her extended R & R seemed to have no relaxing effect on her loudest critic: Donald Trump.

In a series of late-night tweets, Trump accused Kelly of being “off her game,” and suggested she “must have had a terrible vacation” because she was “afraid to confront” her guest, Dr. Cornel West, on the subject of immigration.

Trump followed up his tweets with a couple of retweets from supporters who called Kelly a “bimbo” and her show “a waste of an hour on Fox.”

“The bimbo back [sic] in town,” said one tweet, which Trump reposted into his own timeline. “I hope not for long."

The Republican front-runner’s infamous feud with Kelly -- sparked in the aftermath of the first GOP debate, which Kelly co-moderated — reached a crescendo shortly before her temporary leave of absence, when Trump made a comment appearing to reference menstruation as a reason for a line of questioning he believed was unfair.

Trump went on to suggest several times that Kelly’s vacation was ordered by higher-ups at the news station as a result of the fallout from their post-debate friction.

Fox News pushed back on those claims, saying the time off was scheduled months in advance.

Unfazed, Trump repeated his allegation tonight on Twitter.

"I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly,” the businessman tweeted. "Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!"

Oh, *I'm* sorry.

I meant to say:

Strong, independent women prove their independence from sexist men by using their scintillating intellect.

Biden does have the Indian owners of 7-11s all sewn up.

I understand that, yes. I also understand that it doesn’t get him across the line (or really close to it), so he’ll need to pick up votes that currently support others. Whether he has a ceiling, and if so how high it is, is an open question. I happen to think he peaks well below where he will need to be to win the nomination, but I could be wrong, things could change, etc.

Trump is obsessed and under a compulsion to go after Kelly. He resents being challenged and he cannot let go. This will destroy his presidential run.

Once the Republicans no longer want him no one else will.

You couldn’t be more right. Can anyone imagine Ronald Reagan calling someone a bimbo?

I remember him getting caught muttering under his breath that a reporterette was a stupid b*tch.

Which was, umm, "covered" by explaining that he had *really* said, "It's sunny and you're rich."

The MSM has thrashed conservatives over the years. Every insult he hurls their way is thier just dues and is America saying, “We’re not gonna take it anymore”.

I've been here for all of the primaries, since '98 and there has ALWAYS been massive divisions here, at these times!

I don't know if Joe went to see Fauxcahantas to get an endorsement, blessing, or VEEP feeling out and neither does anyone else.

But that ticket will NOT get the same black turnout that wee barry got.

They said the same thing about Reagan.

Like the ABC TV movie The Day After was a slam that Reagan would start a nuclear war.

Left-wing autofellatory wishful-thinking projecting nightmares.

Projecting? Why yes. Under Dem Presidents, China was given both MIRV technology and warhead blueprints; North Korea got the bomb; and the Bamster is giving Iran one.

I don’t think Trump should be immersing himself in a cat fight with a girl. Maybe it’s a generational thing?
You think this is manly? I saw a thread over the weekend about the Alpha male Trump. I thought he was the Alpha male.
IMHO This stuff makes him look like a petty and insecure punk like Obama. This is my opinion of it, we will obviously dissagree.
I was just starting to really like the guy.

You were correct, I was not and said so.

I was quite little, but I do remember the fuss when Truman went into attack mode over the bad reviews and the papers who carried them.

I was born in 1953, and my mother, grandmother and sister would all laugh about it when Margaret was on a TV show.
