Donald Trump’s campaign has become a veritable circus and grudge match of bullying and misogynistic, racist antics. And it all exploded today.
Apparently, Donald Trump‘s “blood” attack on Megyn Kelly wasn’t sufficient to get the Fox News clan to circle their star host, but his retweet using the word “bimbo” seems to have done it.
Yes, last night, upon Kelly’s return from vacation, Trump sent out a tweet quoting a supporter calling Megyn Kelly a “bimbo.”
Fox News reporters and hosts rightly rushed to her defense today, kind of:
Fox News chairman Roger Ailes also released a statement of support for Kelly:
Undeterred, Trump lashed out again:
“I totally disagree with the FOX statement. I do not think Megyn Kelly is a quality journalist. I think her questioning of me, despite all of the polls saying I won the debate, was very unfair. Hopefully in the future I will be proven wrong and she will be able to elevate her standards to a level of professionalism that a network such as FOX deserves,” Trump said.
Politico adds, “Trump said that what’s more important are his high poll numbers.”
“More importantly, I am very pleased to see the latest polls from Public Policy Polling showing me at a strong number one with 35% in New Hampshire, the Monmouth University poll showing me, again at number one, with 30% in South Carolina and the latest national poll from Gravis where I am again the clear front runner with 40%. It was also just announced that I won the prestigious corn kernel poll at the Iowa State Fair by a landslide,” he added. “I will be in Iowa tonight with my speech being live on CNN and other networks. My sole focus in running for the Presidency is to Make America Great Again!”
