Megyn Kelly Goes After Kellyanne Conway On Trump’s Misogyny

Source: Huffington Post

Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway spectacularly blundered during an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Wednesday in her defense of the Republican presidential nominee’s habit of attacking women.

Conway complained that Trump was unfairly criticized after Monday night’s debate. She added that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton had attempted to “rough him up,” during the debate and in campaign ads, over “a couple of comments he’s made over 25 years or so with respect to women.”

Kelly took the opportunity to hit Conway hard.

“Kellyanne, come on,” she responded. “The ads that she’s running about him when it comes to his comments on women use his words.”

If Trump did not specifically make Megyn Kelly a target, it is hard to imagine Megyn not just playing along with Kellyanne. Still, I'll take it.

....and got it thrown back at her that the Clinton ad used Trump's own words, and NOT out of context!

2. There should be hearings about her exploiting an advantage in the midst of a political campaign

"Because she’s killing him with women and she sees an advantage there and is trying to exploit it,” Kelly said matter-of-factly.

She actually said that?!!

Yeah, why isn't Clinton more like Trump? He would never try to exploit anything for political advantage.

"bleeding from her ... whatever" = sexist attempt at body-shaming.

I don't trust her, and she will always land on her feet if fired..CNN would love to have her.

I remember her willingness to bash two black guys at a voting site to say all white america is up against the new black panthers.

There was a story, if I recall it right, that a black girl thought of Santa as black..Kelly upset..."Santa is white!"

Maybe she is good with women's issues because she is a woman in a man's world, but she is all about herself.

I prefer Joy Reid and what she is doing now. Fuck Megyn Kelly.

was quadrupled when she claimed women who were being sprayed in their faces with tear gas were faking their screams "for effect". Stupid twit. She's useless.

I despise the woman, and consider her extremely biased towards conservatives, but in this case she is right.
