Trump Says He’ll Skip GOP Debate Because Megyn Kelly Is Moderating

HeadlineJan 27, 2016

In news from the campaign trail, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he will probably not participate in Thursday’s Fox News-hosted debate. This comes after Trump spent days demanding Fox remove anchor Megyn Kelly as one of the debate moderators—a demand that Fox refused to meet. In August, during the first GOP debate, Kelly asked Trump about his history of calling women “fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals.” After the debate, Trump criticized Kelly, saying, “She starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions. And, you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her, wherever.”
