Newt Gingrich to Fox's Megyn Kelly: 'You are fascinated with sex'
The feud between Donald Trump's campaign and the news media took a new and heated turn Tuesday night. This time it played out between former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a prime Trump spokesman, and Megyn Kelly, the Fox News host who was at the center of Trump's first major blow-up with the media during the Republican primary.
The exchange between the two got heated as Gingrich accused Kelly and the rest of the media of giving outsized attention to allegations of sexually inappropriate conduct lodged against Trump from 11 women.
Kelly disagreed, insisting that her show has covered all the issues.
"You want to go back through the tapes of your show recently," Gingrich retorted. "You are fascinated with sex, and you don’t care about public policy. That’s what I get out of watching your show tonight.”
Kelly fired back, pointing to polls that show the issue is important to voters, particularly women.
“Mr. Speaker, I’m not fascinated by sex but I am fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we’re getting in the Oval Office," Kelly said.
It continued from there, with a dare from Gingrich and a taunt from Kelly.
Gingrich: “And therefore we’re going to send Bill Clinton back to the East Wing. ... I want to hear you use the words ‘Bill Clinton, sexual predator.’ I dare you."
Kelly: “We on 'The 'Kelly File' have covered the Clinton matter as well. ... 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.”
Gingrich: "You too."
- She asked him about how the polls are calling states, and he said it was the biased media skewing them (She pointed out the the fox news poll has it as Clinton leading)
