Fox News Responds to Donald Trump's Latest Twitter Attack on Anchor Megyn Kelly

[GMDino]

I find it amusing that FOX News cares when Drumpf says a crazy thing or attacks a woman *IF* it is about someone on FOX News.  Meanwhile he is using their own egos against them for free publicity.

Donald Trump is once again making his dislike for Megyn Kelly known to the public. 

The Republican presidential front runner attacked the The Kelly File anchor onTwitter Friday telling his over 7 million followers,"Everybody should boycott the @megynkelly show. Never worth watching. Always a hit on Trump! She is sick, & the most overrated person on tv." 



Trump, 69, has continued to attack Kelly, 45, since he took exception to her question at the first GOP debate in August 2015, when the Fox News moderator asked him about previous quotes he'd given to describe women. Though the two appeared cordial at the March 3 Republican debate, Trump renewed his Twitter barrage against the anchor on Tuesday night, with several new posts, referring to Kelly as "crazy Megyn." The following day, Trump announced he would be skipping a scheduled March 21 GOP debate to be hosted by Fox News -- with Kelly one of the moderators. The cable channel then cancelled the debate. 

In response to Trump's latest tweet against Kelly – which has been retweeted by over 3,500 users and liked by over 11,000 – Fox News expressed their full support for Kelly in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. 

"Donald Trump's vitriolic attacks against Megyn Kelly and his extreme, sick obsession with her is beneath the dignity of a presidential candidate who wants to occupy the highest office in the land," a network spokesperson says. 

"Megyn is an exemplary journalist and one of the leading anchors in America - we're extremely proud of her phenomenal work and continue to fully support her throughout every day of Trump's endless barrage of crude and sexist verbal assaults. As the mother of three young children, with a successful law career and the second highest rated show in cable news, it's especially deplorable for her to be repeatedly abused just for doing her job." 

In a previous tweet, the GOP front-runner called Kelly a "lightweight reporter" in response to those who alleged him of calling her a "bimbo."
