UPDATE: 2:25 p.m. Katrina Pierson, a spokeswoman for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, said in an interview Sunday that there was “no love lost” between Fox News host Megyn Kelly and Trump after the first debate.

Pierson’s comment came a day after Trump tweeted that Kelly should not be able to moderate the next GOP debate.

Here’s Trump’s tweet from Saturday:

Trump and Kelly have had significant back and forth after he infamously said she looked like she had blood “coming out of her wherever” after he disliked her questions at a Republican debate.

Pierson did not rule out the possibility of Trump boycotting the Republican debate on Thursday.

“There’s no love lost between Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump after that
first debate,” Pierson said. “That’s been a very publicized disagreement. But I think it’s going to be fine.”

A Fox News spokesperson said in an email to TPM that there is no conflict between Kelly and Trump.

“Megyn Kelly has no conflict of interest,” the spokesperson said. “Donald Trump is just trying to build up the audience for Thursday’s debate, for which we thank him.”
