Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Monday night addressed Donald Trump’s attacks against her following last week’s Republican presidential debate, and defended the questions she posed to him during the debate.

“Apparently Mr. Trump thought the question I asked was unfair and felt I was attacking him. I felt he was asked a tough but fair question. We agree to disagree,” she said on “The Kelly File.”

Trump lit into Kelly after she asked him a question about his treatment of women, and on Friday evening the real estate mogul charged that she “had blood coming out of her wherever” during the debate. Kelly refrained from hitting back at Trump on Monday night.

“Mr. Trump did interviews over the weekend that attacked me personally. I’ve decided not to respond,” she said. “Trump, who is the frontrunner, will not apologize, and I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism, so I’ll continue doing my job without fear or favor.”

  1. Nor should you. Just let us all know when you actually get around to doing some good journalism.

  2. You should not apologize for asking that question, agreed, I thought that moment was good journalism.

    Now, will you apologize for working for a network that does not do good journalism, just because they write the biggest paychecks?

  3. Don’t apologize for “doing good” grammar either.

  4. So she’s “taking the high road” after slumming in the gutter for years.

    How quaint.

    Edit: Her question to Trump was simply her following orders to attempt to take Trump down to allow Jeb’s star to shine. Just because it backfired means less than nothing.

  5. Oh, fuck you, Megyn With A “WHY?!” Kelly. You have about as much integrity as Trump himself, and you wouldn’t know good journalism if it sneaked up behind you and bit you in your bleached-blonde ass. A FoxNews host giving a comment on journalism is like Jeffrey Dahmer commenting on gastronomy.
