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!"

Reagan hasn't been President since...what? Early 1989, when Clinton was elected?

And the buffoons the GOP has foisted upon us wouldn't be a self-respecting parasite inside Reagan's colon.

Trump is a step up from anyone and everyone else until this cycle, except Palin.

(Alan Keyes was intellectually brilliant but politically rustic; Gingrich didn't know how to play the "Gotcha!" insider game or hold off the press.)

I didn't watch her show. (I haven't since the debate) did she say something. I saw the 3 bullet point message on Twitter and I thought it looked pretty good. ( shes dumb and thought it was a knock. LOL.) I don't understand why Trump lashed just because of that? I thought maybe he should have just clarified the third point that he is talking about Illegal immigrant birth right.

No.

Note the date, by the way. During Reagan's 2nd term. http://articles.latimes.com/1986-02-28/news/mn-12729_1_white-house

"Acting like a mature adult instead of like a bratty little kid, does not make one a politically correct coward. Could you see Ronald Reagan stooping to this foolishness? No! And he was no coward. Donald Trump wouldn’t make a decent scab on Ronald Reagan’s ass."

You do have a point except it's like comparing apples to oranges. Back in RR's days, people were civilized, decent and polite. Imagine today's female newscasters in Reagan's days. They would never get on the air.

Trump is dealing with a lower class of people than Reagan did. The internet wasn't around then.

It was a different world back then.

Trump shows that he has smarts enough to deal with the upper class and the scum class. He's not a smooth talking lawyer. He's a businessman who deals with all sorts of people.

“He appears to love a good fight. Somehow this does not hurt him with a “yuge” segment of the party. Probably because it is so dang refreshing to have an unfiltered voice freeing us from the PC chains.”

You clearly did not read the above which was in my post.

Thank you a$$hole.
I’ll be sure and tel my wife you don’t she she’s very smart because of her hairstyle from the 80’s
Her hair is straight as a board naturally, she wore a perm (like most women) and she’s stupid?

Is this what conservatives are reduced to? Personal attacks on women’s looks to support a guy who acts like he’s in Junior high?

Last week Trump had just about pulled me back into his camp with the immigration policy he worked on with Sessions. Then he goes and pulls some sophomoric crap like this.
On top of that people like you come out and double down on this stupidity.

I thought it was bad enough yesterday when I saw 5 posts on this forum wishing for, and supporting Trump becoming a “Dictator” (that’s the word they used)after he’s elected, and now ridiculous crap like this pops up again.

Every time I think I might want to come into the Trump party and have a look around, a bunch of zombies show up at the front door and chase me away again.

Before you pull out the typical “Troll” accusation, I’ll tell you to leave that one in your ditty bag.
I’ve had fair and solid discussions with folks on here about Trump.
Getting on his bandwagon though is becoming too much like walking into an unserviced port-a-john.

That’s what all the Trump haters are worried about.Its also the reason they are trying to get the last loser into the campaign because he has the money but not near as much as Trump.
