Former reality television star Donald Trump continued to wage war against Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly by tweeting out a link on Monday to a report of a racy interview she gave to radio shock jock Howard Stern in 2010.

The Republican presidential candidate has been going after Kelly since she moderated the first GOP debate last week and asked him about some of the sexist phrases he has used to describe women.

On Friday, Trump attacked Kelly by saying she had “blood coming out of her wherever” when she asked the question.

On Sunday, the conservative news site Newsmax resurfaced the 2010 interview from Stern’s show. The Newsmax headline was “Megyn Kelly Talks With Howard Stern: Breasts, Penises, Sex.”

By Monday morning, Trump was using it to attack Kelly even more.

Kelly gave the interview on Stern’s radio program in 2010. By Stern standards, it was a pretty vanilla interview. Like many of Stern’s interviewees, Kelly talked about her sex life, husband, and the pressure to be, as Stern put it, one of “the Fox beauties.” Her only specific answer was her bra cup size.

“We used to call them ‘Killer B’s’ then when I got pregnant they became ‘Swimmin’ C’s’ and Doug (her husband) was frolicking in the ocean,” Kelly said

Here’s a Politico write-up from 2010.

  2. My favorite part of the tweet:

    I am the innocent (pure) one!

    Yeah, I totally agree that Trump is the innocent victim in all this. I mean, how could anyone not see his “purity”?

  3. Ummm, trying to shame Kelly using this interview is a pretty big reach.
    YUGE.

  4. Welcome to the Republican party, Kelly. Be careful you don’t get too upset about the rampant sexism and all the other awful shit they supposedly stand for. They’ll start calling you a feminazi if you’re not too careful. You’re just going to kind of take it if you’re one of them and a woman. But you’d think you would have figured this out by now after shilling for them for so many years.
