“Billionaire Charles Koch decried “wasteful, irresponsible spending that’s heading us for a financial cliff” by both political parties in an exclusive interview with Fox News source” Megyn Kelly Thurs. night.

Trump also retweeted users who criticized Kelly’s show: “Donald, Megyn Kelly seeks ratings, not truth Not much of a journalist”, one wrote.
This response got a few laughs from the crowd, but Kelly went on to defend her controversial questions from the debate, insisting that the moderators were just as tough on the other candidates.
Shrugging it off further, she said in what sounded a bit like channeling the Donald, “Truthfully, it didn’t interest me that much”.
In that debate, Kelly was tasked with asking a series of questions about “electability”, and she cornered Trump on issues such as his view of women and his previous support of Democratic candidates and issues. She said asking tough questions was part of her job. But Kelly and Fox News never asked Rubio, for instance, why he charged personal purchases to the Florida GOP’s credit card or about his association with David Rivera (and the home that they purchased that later faced foreclosure).

“That’s what I get paid to do: anticipate the candidate’s weaknesses and poke ’em”, said “The Kelly File” anchor. “You’re already starting to hear that from Hillary Clinton”. He faced lots of backlash after he said she looked during the debate like she had blood “coming out of her wherever”. He also said that Chris Wallace seemed to have “blood pouring out of his eyes”. Since then, Trump has been engaged in a war of words with Fox executives and personalities over his frequent attacks on the network host.
