The GOP presidential frontrunner is once again taking swings at the Fox News host over social media, while Kelly is sharing insight into what it's like to be in Trump's crosshairs for months on end.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, during a recent interview with More magazine — the final issue of the New York-based publication — Kelly called out Fox News colleague Bill O'Reilly for not having her back to the degree that she would have had his if the tables were turned.
“I do wish that O’Reilly had defended me more in his interview with Trump,” Kelly told More. “I would have defended him more.”
The interview she was referencing occurred when O’Reilly spoke with Trump following his announcement that he would skip the second Fox News debate. O’Reilly, in a good-natured manner, tried to persuade Trump to change his mind.
Highly overrated & crazy @megynkelly is always complaining about Trump and yet she devotes her shows to me. Focus on others Megyn!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2016
Kelly told More she appreciates that Fox News “did not cave” before the second debate. She also elaborated on the toll the Trump bombardment took on her.
“Honestly? People think I’m fearless. But I’m human," she told the magazine. "I was not looking forward to going out on that stage and dealing with Trump if he was going to attack me. I felt the pressure of that and the stress of that. But I also knew I would walk through that fear and I would go out there and I would handle it. I can muster up the courage in the difficult situations to get me through."
