Trump refuses to apologize for bashing Fox News anchor
“But I wouldn’t do that”, Trump said. “Who would say that?”
Watch the interview, as posted online on Monday, below. “Because I gave”, Trump said.
Mr. Trump interjected with a raised his finger and an amused expression saying, “Only Rosie O’Donnell”, a reference to a well-known U.S. comedian and actress.
In response to her “harsh” questions, Kelly noted that her job is to “go out there and ask probing questions that are hopefully smart and help the people learn something about this person and in this context, their weakness”.
Trump sparred with Kelly during Thursday’s debate and criticized her afterwards, including telling CNN the next day that “there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever” while speaking about the questions she asked him. “I think there is a line of decency that even a non-professional politician can cross”, Erickson said at his Red State gathering.

Still, Trump seemed unshaken by the dispute, touting his poll numbers and maintaining that both Fox and his rivals benefited handily from his presence at the debate.
On Monday, Trump showed no signs of slowing down or shutting up, saying he thinks Kelly should offer him an apology for asking a “stupid” and “unfair” question at Thursday’s GOP presidential candidates debate in Cleveland.
As for that comment about Megyn Kelly?
“She should really be apologizing to me, you want to know the truth. His word is always good!” wrote the billionaire businessman and 2016 Republican presidential candidate, whose unorthodox campaign is dominating the race and summertime polls.
Some have responded by sharpening their critiques, questioning Mr Trump’s electability, his conservative credentials, policy ideas and personality.
“I am very a lot into the entire thing of serving to individuals and serving to ladies”, he stated on CBS’s Face the Nation.
Trump worked the political talk show circuit on Sunday, refusing to apologize for his remarks about Kelly. “What I said was totally fine”.
He added, “The fact is that I think I don’t get treated well by Fox, and that’s all right because look what happens…I have double-digit leads in every poll”.
