Fox News host Megyn Kelly said Tuesday that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s anger management skills were “overestimated,” according to The Hill.

Trump and Kelly have had some significant back and forth so far in his campaign.

Trump initially criticized Kelly for questions she asked when she helped moderate the first GOP debate on Aug. 6. He faced lots of backlash after he said she looked during the debate like she had blood “coming out of her wherever.” Since then, Trump has been engaged in a war of words with Fox executives and personalities over his frequent attacks on the network host.

At the beginning of October, Kelly discussed on her show how Trump’s wife, Melania, had been unfairly criticized by the media and Trump thanked her on Twitter.

Kelly had said at the end of September during a panel discussion that she didn’t want to talk about Trump anymore. She also said Trump was a fighter who “has captured the attention of the electorate.”

But she appeared to change her mind on Tuesday when she discussed Trump’s anger-management skills.

“It’s clear we may have overestimated his anger-management skills,” Kelly said Tuesday, as quoted by the publication.

Then, Kelly addressed the GOP hopefuls, according to the report.

“Sorry, you put yourself into this,” Kelly reportedly said.“You have a job to do, which is answer tough questions. I have a tough job to do, which is ask them.”
