NEW YORK —
Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly is taking notes on who she feels has been less than supportive when she was attacked by Donald Trump, and colleague Bill O’Reilly and CNN are both on her list.
During an interview with Charlie Rose to air on the CBS program “Sunday Morning” this weekend, Kelly said she wished O’Reilly had done more to defend her when he interviewed Trump before a January debate that the Republican skipped because he wanted Kelly removed as a moderator. She also wishes CNN hadn’t aired portions of a Trump rally on the night of that debate.
Her remarks exposed the tension between Fox’s two top personalities.
The Republican presidential candidate has been badmouthing Kelly, mostly via Twitter, since he was taken aback by her tough question in an August 2015 debate on his comments about women. O’Reilly asked Trump to reconsider missing the Fox debate in Iowa, but it was noted by many that he didn’t rush to defend Kelly when Trump attacked her during the interview. The Associated Press
