I never thought the zaniness of the last Repub Primary could be topped. Guess I was wrong

Very unfortunate about the death threats. Totally not the way to handle things. However, if she'd been home in a kitchen where she belongs it would never have happened.

I think what it really shows is that Donald Trump and all his supporters are dogshit.

I find it ironicly hilarious that Trump and his legions yell so loudly about "political correctness" and decry any criticism as attempt to "ban speech" and "destroy people", yet as soon as someone says something that Trump doesn't like, his followers use everything in their power to "destroy" that person, try to get them fired, or even threaten their lives.

Sounds just like libs.

Which he is one. Not surprised.

how touching to see the liberals all worried about someone on a News Station they've hated on for years. and why are they for her? because they loved her putting someone down and being an ass. what sick and twisted people

All while they still participate in the slut shaming when she says things the left doesn't like. Libs do love to talk out of both sides of their face.

Sadly death threats come with being in the public eye and in case no one has noticed Kelly has not whined or complained about the blowback nor has she gotten into war of words with Trump she has responded like a professional.

Shit! I get a death threat 3 or 4 times a week and I'm not a celebrity. Drunks and idiots abound.

Liar........who the fuck would even care enough about anything you've ever said?

Sound like obama supporters, don't they?

Exactly.

I have no great love for Trump or the Trumpites, but they're at least involved in things that are appropriate for them. Megyn really ought to be home taking care of a husband and kids.

Gabriel Sherman of New York magazine has a lengthy report about Donald Trump’s tense relationship with Fox News and its star anchor Megyn Kelly, whom Trump recently accused of unfairly targeting him during last Thursday’s televised debate (during which, Trump seemed to allege, Kelly had been menstruating). The internal conflict—placing Kelly and Trump in competition for the approval of Fox boss Roger Ailes—has apparently gotten so toxic that Trump supporters have begun threatening Kelly’s life:

For a few days, Ailes didn’t know how to handle Trump’s full-throated attack on Kelly, who accused Trump of sexism during the debate. Eventually, as I reported yesterday, he made the same choice he always does: follow the ratings, and mend fences with Trump. But that process has meant that Fox has had to mute its defense of Kelly, who is now watching uneasily as the Fox audience turns on her: According to one high-level source, Kelly has told Fox producers that she’s been getting death threats from Trump supporters.​

Megyn Kelly ranks among Fox’s most prized talent, both publicly and within the channel’s pecking order; it would require extraordinary circumstances for Ailes not to vociferously defend her integrity or her ability to interrogate presidential candidates. But now we know the circumstances under which Ailes won’t go to bat for Kelly: When Donald Trump is attacking her. “Fox’s famously aggressive PR apparatus has not gone after Trump to defend Kelly,” Sherman notes, referring to the notoriously cruel tactics of Fox publicist Irena Briganti. Ailes’ initial defense of Fox News—“I’m extremely proud of all of the moderators”—didn’t even mention Kelly’s name.

How Fox News Picked Trump Over Megyn Kelly -- NYMag

I am really surprised that Fox viewers would turn on Megyn Kelly so quickly over one debate. Actually, I thought she conducted herself quite professionally. She could have asked Trump about what his ex-wife Ivana said under oath about being raped and having her hair pulled out - but she didn't.

Death threats are a joke. Glenn Beck got them constantly. Trump got them after he said McCain wasn't a hero.

Just remember the golden rule folks, Its different when Conservatives do it. Theres a 40 page thread on BLM movement saying they want war. Ohhh scary, but threatening Kelly's life is just a little wit and humor. Har Har, I'mma kill you.

Until she helped you out you wouldn't have given a damn.

She's not in danger........and telling everyone she's getting death threats is just an attempt to gain sympathy.

And your golden rule is a bit suspect....considering the fact Democrats expect double-standards as a rule......not an exception.

She's not? And how do you know? My guess is that you're one of the criminals making threats.

No you're wrong about that........Trump has no business doing anything that doesn't involve being a sleazy salesman and self promoter.

Hes a natural birn US citizen over the age of 35 and he's male. That meets both the Constitutional and my personal requirements to run for POTUS. That doesn't mean I'd vote for him. But I will defend his right to run, ecen if you don't like him. Wheras Megyn Kelly has no business talking about news or politics.

I would say that your mediocre IQ score should exclude you from commenting about news or politics.

I thought I had enough popcorn stockpiled to get through the GOP primaries.

I was wrong. There's some new entertainment to be found every day.

LOL. My IQ is more than sufficient. Moreover, I have the ancestral pedigree (family in this country since before it existed) and moral/philosophical background which should be the criteria for Voting Rights.

Only because you feminists (you're not actually women) no longer accept your proper place in the world without them.

That type of pedigree built this country, creted it from the land here on this continent and defended it for a couple hundred years until the time of the Civil War. After that only the Greatest Generation has been able to claim any amount of decency in the 1940s and 50s. Since then its been all downhill for American society.
