Megyn Kelly Fires Back at Media Critics

Megyn Kelly

Megyn Kelly got a lot of positive media coverage for her tough questioning of Donald Trump in the first Republican debate last year and her refusal to back down as he hammered her for months afterward.

But after her Tuesday night (May 17th) interview with Trump that was seen as the end of their feud, many in the media were critical of it, dismissing it as being a lightweight exchange in which she never challenged the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee -- and Kelly wasn't having it.

On her Fox News Channel show the following night, Kelly called out several of those by name who'd criticized the interview, charging they hadn't disclosed their previous criticism of Trump.

She charged, "Not surprisingly, many of these critics failed to expose their own bias against Trump, against Fox News or against the GOP."

She stated, "As I said, right from the beginning of this thing, I was never going to love him. And I was never going to hate him. And those who assumed either one assumed too much."

But Kelly didn't stop there. After The Daily Show host Trevor Noah criticized the interview Wednesday night, saying Kelly didn't ask tough questions, especially when it came to Trump's statements about women, charging, "This was sold as a bloodbath. But in the end, it just turned out to be one of those couple's baths that only exist in, like, the Cialis commercials,"

Kelly fired back on Twitter Thursday morning. She sarcastically said she was grateful to have men like Noah advise her how to deal with sexist attacks.
