Megyn Kelly Gives Donald Trump Praise For Infamous 2015 Republican Debate Moment With Her: “You Handled It Well”

Megyn Kelly interviewed former President Donald Trump on her SiriusXM show on Thursday, a sitdown in in which she challenged him a bit on one of his criminal cases and some other issues.

But as would be expected, she largely kept the 60 or so minutes as friendly territory for the former Celebrity Apprentice host.

At one point, the topic turned to Kelly’s question in the first Republican presidential debate in 2015, in which Kelly, then co-moderating for Fox News, asked him,  “You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals.” “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump answered. “For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell,” Kelly said, adding, “Does that sound like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?” In Kelly’s SiriusXM interview, Trump said, “Frankly, if I didn’t come up with the answer only Rosie O’Donnell, I would have had a problem with that.

That was a bad question.” “It was a great question,” Kelly said. “No, no, it was a nasty question,” Trump responded. “It was awesome,” Kelly said.
