Donald Trump went ham on Twitter with a bazillion “Crazy Megyn” comments directed at Megyn Kelly this week. First of all, “Crazy Megyn” is a lazy af nickname. Call her “Manic Megyn” or “Meshugenah Megyn” or “Mad Megyn” or “Meanie Megyn.” Poetry is dead.

Trump’s anti-alliteration rampage started after Kelly interviewed Ted Cruz on her show, and also shared the fact that all of Trump’s hateful tweeting about various women is taking a toll in the polls.

Though it’s not unexpected that Trump would cry like a baby sitting in a diaper full of his own shit, this round of hateful invective seems to have crossed a line for folks who were before willing to ignore the bizarre feud between a presidential hopeful and a newscaster. Even Geraldo Rivera was like, chilllllllllll:

Then, late on Friday, Fox News shared this statement on Facebook:

Donald Trump’s vitriolic attacks against Megyn Kelly and his extreme, sick obsession with her is beneath the dignity of a presidential candidate who wants to occupy the highest office in the land. Megyn is an exemplary journalist and one of the leading anchors in America — we’re extremely proud of her phenomenal work and continue to fully support her throughout every day of Trump’s endless barrage of crude and sexist verbal assaults. As the mother of three young children, with a successful law career and the second highest rated show in cable news, it’s especially deplorable for her to be repeatedly abused just for doing her job.

:shock::shock:


Of course, the top comments are from all the Donald Trump supporters that Fox News has been arming with misinformed, racist, misogynist ideas for years. The moniker “Megyn Smelly” is liked over 7,000 times. Now that’s a nickname.

I'm not even going to comment on this article other than to say this election is going to rip your country apart. :|

The tweets are a little obsessive, yes, but I am not sure where the sexist part comes in or how they define "crude and sick".

The language used to describe Trump has, in my view, been worse than the language actually used by Trump.

I think the shock is mostly because he's a presidential candidate. It feels worse than it actually is in reality.

An interview yesterday (ignore the headline, usual crap).

He's totally impregnable. I think he's going to win (the presidency)

But it's also WHY he's leading. People are just done with all the do-nothing empty suits who run the country. Pants suits in Hillary's case.

Two halves. Those that work for their belongings and have a sense of ownership, and those that believe everything should be given to them because they feel "entitled"

And it's not just food I'm stock piling ;)

They've got packaged food of all kinds. All you need is boiling water and you could have a 12 course feast! And who needs to go outside? Especially this time of year when allergies are running high?

It's pretty simple actually.

If someone gives him shit, all he has to say is, ok, let me just pull the 8 billion dollars we've been giving the UN, every year, for the last decade, oh and use your own troops. ;)
