‘The Bimbo Back In Town’: Donald Trump Attacks Megyn Kelly
Donald Trump went on the attack Monday night, mocking and berating Fox News host Megyn Kelly as she returned from vacation.
Monday night Fox News host Megyn Kelly retuned from a much-reported vacation – probably the first vacation that a cable news reporter has taken that has received this much attention. The rumor mill spinning at full speed two weeks ago, after Donald Trump attacked Kelly for posing appropriate questions to him at the GOP debate.Â
Here’s how Trump tried to mock and bully Kelly last night:
I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly. Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!

.@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game. Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 25, 2015
And then, he retweeted a tweet calling Megyn Kelly a “bimbo.”
“@mstanish53: @realDonaldTrump @megynkelly The bimbo back in town . I hope not for long .”

Some responses via Twitter:
There is no reason in the world why Trump should call Megyn Kelly a bimbo. I think it’s outrageous.

Question for the female Trump supporters out there: how is calling ANY woman a “bimbo” acceptable to you? http://t.co/2cYa0QG5SL

The future president of the US and A just called a female reporter he doesn’t agree with a “bimbo” http://t.co/mvg07L9XrW
