Fox News host Megyn Kelly battled former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in a striking Tuesday night interview.
“You are fascinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy!” Gingrich exclaimed amid the back and forth.
Kelly’s interview with Gingrich, a leading Donald Trump surrogate, started off friendly enough but got increasingly tense as she pressed him on Trump’s flagging poll numbers and campaign firestorms. Things boiled over when Gingrich accused the media of widespread bias and Kelly argued that the sexual misconduct allegations against Trump are newsworthy.
“If Trump is a sexual predator, that is —” Kelly began, as Gingrich interjected.
“I’m sick and tired of people like you using language that’s inflammatory, that’s not true,” he said after they talked over one another.
“Excuse me, Mr. Speaker, you have no idea whether it’s true or not,” she countered.
“Neither do you,” he shot back. “That’s very unfair of you to do that, Megyn! I think that’s exactly the bias that people are upset by,” he added,sure after they continued to interrupt each other.

Kelly pointed to the recently unearthed “Access Hollywood” tape, in which Trump boasted that his celebrity status lets him grope and forcibly kiss women. Trump denied ever acting upon those words, but roughly a dozen women have since emerged to say they were victims of his alleged misconduct, including sexual assault.
“I think your defensiveness on this may speak volumes, sir,” she said. “No, no, let me make my point. And then I’ll give you the floor. What I said is if Trump is a sexual predator, then it’s a big story. And what we saw on that tape is Trump himself saying that he likes to grab women by their genitals and kiss them against their will.”
Gingrich then accused Kelly of ignoring Hillary Clinton’s scandals, as well as the alleged sexual misconduct of her husband, former President Bill Clinton. After Kelly said she covered the allegations against Bill Clinton, Gingrich said, “I dare you: Say, ‘Bill Clinton, sexual predator.’”
“We’re going to have to leave it at that. And you can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them, Mr. Speaker,” Kelly said to conclude the interview.
“And you too,” he said.
Trump has fiercely attacked Kelly since the summer of 2015, when the Fox News host was a moderator at a debate and confronted him over derogatory comments he’s made about women’s appearances. His campaign responded to the Tuesday night interview by saying she was “not very smart.”
.@NewtGingrich just destroyed @MegynKelly. Shows she is totally biased against Mr. Trump & not very smart. Mr. Trump has long known!!

At the Trump campaign response ^.
It's Newt who is the one that made a fool of himself, there was no reason for him to get that angry with Megyn. She was stating facts about the tanking Trump campaign...he couldn't counter her with any valid argument, so he used "alternate universe theory", "media bias", and "secret voters" in a delusional rant about a Trump victory.
Queen Megyn doesn't cower to the misogynistic Trump, or his venomous surrogates.
it's just baffling that with all this info against Trump, him and his camp still act like he's squeaky clean, has done no wrong, and always try and push the blame onto the Clinton family.
When even a large amount of Fox news denounces the Republican candidate's behavior and attitude, you know you're going down.
This was great to watch, she's very well spoken and composed.
From now on, I love Newt Gingrich. He massacred her

Newt is not a dummy either...Trump must of promised Newt his own show on Trump TV if he defended him to the bitter end.
I can't believe Newt would be saying these stupid things otherwise.
At the Trump campaign response ^.
