Donald Trump attacks Megyn Kelly: There was blood coming out of her eyes | FULL CNN Interview Donald Trump's campaign for president has suddenly become a campaign against Fox News. One day after he starred in Fox's GOP primary debate, Trump lashed out at debate moderator Megyn Kelly and the network as a whole. In an interview with Don Lemon on "CNN Tonight," Trump on Friday accused Fox of asking "vicious," unfair questions at the debate and called Kelly "overrated." Kelly had pressed Trump about misogynistic, sexist comments in his past. On CNN, Trump called the questions "ridiculous," called her "off-base," and said, "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever." Trump told Lemon that he didn't know whether he'd participate in a future Fox debate. "I might not, to be honest," he said. "I didn't think they were fair." Earlier in the day, Trump had blasted Kelly on Twitter and wrote that Fox News "should be ashamed." He wrote: "I got you the highest debate ratings in your history & you say nothing but bad..." His tweets took aim at Fox News analyst Charles Krauthammer, who said the Thursday night debate revealed Trump to be "testy" and "thin-skinned." Trump said Fox should fire him. It almost goes without saying that Fox's tough questioning of Trump made for good TV, which showed in the ratings. A total of 24 million viewers tuned in, making it by far the highest-rated primary debate in TV history. But many of Trump's supporters are now lashing out against Fox -- some are even calling for a boycott -- and accusing the network of biased coverage. More broadly, the television news world is buzzing about whether Fox News has turned against Donald Trump. Is Fox News chairman Roger Ailes strategically positioning his network against the candidate, either to influence the Republican party or simply spark his ratings? Or is the network just covering the news the way it's supposed to? Trump's anti-Fox tweet storm: After sparring with the Fox moderators during Thursday's debate, Trump stayed up late and attacked them on Twitter, directing most of his ire at Kelly. "The Fox News trio, especially Megyn Kelly, was not very good or professional!" he wrote at 3:53 a.m. Friday. Trump also said she "really bombed," and he retweeted a dozen fans who criticized her hostility and called her a "bimbo." Donald Trump: Megyn Kelly Had "Blood Coming Out of Her Eyes" During GOP Debate Trump referred to Kelly as "overrated" and a "lightweight." Donald Trump is slamming Fox News journalist and Thursday night's GOP debate moderator Megyn Kelly, saying that she had "blood coming out of her eyes" when she questioned the former Apprentice star. In an interview with CNN's Don Lemon Friday night, Trump referred to Kelly as "overrated" and a "lightweight" and told the reporter, "She gets out and starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions." He continued, "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her — wherever." Trump then thanked Lemon and the CNN staff for their coverage of the GOP candidate: "You guys are making a lot of progress thanks to me. Your ratings are way up because you’re covering Trump all the time," he said, according to The Hill. Following Thursday evening's debate, Trump took to Twitter to share his (first) thoughts about Kelly, tweeting, "Wow, @megynkelly really bombed tonight. People are going wild on twitter! Funny to watch" and "I really enjoyed the debate tonight even though the @FoxNews trio, especially @megynkelly, was not very good or professional!" Donald Trump's 'blood' comment about Megyn Kelly backfires Atlanta (CNN)Donald Trump's latest controversial comment was so alarming that he's been disinvited from a conservative gathering Saturday in Atlanta. At issue: Trump's comments on "CNN Tonight" about Fox News' Megyn Kelly, who moderated a GOP presidential candidate debate Thursday night. During the debate, she pressed Trump about misogynistic, sexist comments he made in the past. Trump slammed Kelly, saying "she is a lightweight. I couldn't care less about her." "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," Trump told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "Blood coming out of her wherever." That remark crossed the line, said RedState.com editor Erick Erickson. He disinvited Trump from the RedState Gathering, a conservative event featuring GOP presidential hopefuls this weekend in Atlanta. Trump was scheduled to give the keynote speech Saturday night. "I have tried to give a great deal of latitude to Donald Trump in his run for the presidency," Erickson wrote. 2015 august video
