Donald Trumps feud with Megyn Kelly was way darker than any of us knew. Kelly received so many death threats and so much harassment from Trump supporters after confronting him at the first Republican debate with a challenging question about his many, many misogynistic statements that she needed a special security detail for a year.
The Trump campaign stoked the flames of the Kelly hate, the Fox News host told CNNs Anderson Cooper in an interview on Wednesday, to the point that one of the top executives at Fox News had to explain to one of Trumps top employees why if she gets killed it might be bad for their campaign.
Michael Cohen, who is Trump's top lawyer and executive vice president with the Trump Organization had retweeted lets gut her, about me, Kelly said. At a time when the threat level was very high, which he knew. And Bill Shine, an executive vice president of Fox, called him up to say, 'You got to stop this. We understand you are angry but she's got three kids and is walking around New York.'
And he didn't much care, Kelly continued. And what Bill Shine said to Michael Cohen was, Let me put it to you in terms you can understand: If Megyn Kelly gets killed it is not going help your candidate.
Let me put this in terms you can understand. Cohen took to Twitter to call Kelly a liar and retweet people calling her a snake and a psycho.

If only there was some way Megyn Kelly could have told her story, some platform where she could have publicly said what was happening to her. But she was as isolated and incommunicado as the hero of Johnny Got His Gun.

(7,220 posts)I'd have a lot more respect for her if she'd say "All right, they intimidated me, and that's why I backed off to the point of making Trump kind of look human, and now that I think of it, I let all women down, and and probably helped get him elected."
She tousled his disgusting hair for fuck's sake...AFTER he said the "...she was bleeding from her whatever..." shit he that he spewed, and all the rest of his vile "hitting back" excuse for woman-bashing. She softballed him in the follow up interview, laughing coyly like she was enchanted.
Still, she doesn't deserve death threats. Just unemployment.

I'm glad Megyn and her kids are okay. No one should have to live with that.

(5,585 posts)Trump is in his 70's, and has been in business for 50 years, through both financially good and bad times; if he really believed people could be killed for convenience, he would have already done it by now.
This kind of stuff is just not believable. I mean, i understand that Trump is incompetent and a danger to us all, but to implicate him in some kind of murder for pettiness scheme after all the shit people have said about him over the years is not credible.

(12,362 posts)cuz of what she did at her times with Faux News.
But yeepers my disgust at Michael Cohen, not just as a lawyer for Trump, but as a Human being.
Hes on a whole other level of creepiness, compared just to say a Jesse Watter from Faux, this guy
Cohen, really sickens me, at his treatment of people.
This is why, I get beeped off, at those so called celebs/bloggers/tweeters who have say They have seen the apprentice
outakes, or the russian hooker video, yet say they cant or wont release it to the internet.
