Newt Gingrich Has A Meltdown, Accuses Megyn Kelly Of Being 'Obsessed With Sex'
It's not every day you see a Fox News host hold it together while a Trump surrogate goes off like a rocket, but Megyn Kelly managed as best as she could after Newt Gingrich lost his mind and his temper.
The fireworks begin at about 1:45, when Megyn deconstructs the reasons why media spent so much time covering Trump's admissions of sexual misconduct on the Access Hollywood tape. You can see it in Newt's face.
Kelly said Trump, by his own admission, might be a sexual predator. Let the games begin!
“I’m sick and tired of people like you using language that’s inflammatory that’s not true!"
Shouting ensued, but Newt finally got to shout, "When you use the words, you took a position. And I think it’s very unfair of you to do that, Megyn!”
Kelly, with deadly calm, answered, “Your defensiveness on this may speak volumes, sir.”
And boy did it go downhill from there.
After castigating Kelly for not oohing and aahing over the Wikileaks dump of an alleged speech Hillary gave where she used a term that offended Gingrich, he started shouting at her.
He yelled, "You want to go back through the tapes of your show recently? You are fascinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy! That’s what I get out of watching you tonight!”
Kelly once again returned fire, telling him she's not especially fascinated with sex, but she is interested in the protection of women and what we're getting in the Oval Office with Trump.
