Trump congratulates Gingrich on 'amazing interview' with Megyn Kelly
By Louis Nelson
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump congratulated Newt Gingrich on his “amazing interview” Tuesday with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly in which the former House speaker accused the host of being “fascinated with sex.”
“Congratulations, Newt, on last night, that was an amazing interview. We don’t play games, Newt, right?” Trump said, prompting applause from the crowd at the ribbon-cutting of his newly opened Washington hotel Wednesday morning.
The former House speaker had grown heated during his interview with Kelly the previous night, accusing her of overemphasizing sexual assault allegations against Trump at the expense of topics more critical of Hillary Clinton, such as the WikiLeaks emails hacked from Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta.
“You want to go back to the tapes of your show recently? You are fascinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy,” Gingrich said.
“Listen, Mr. Speaker, I’m not fascinated by sex,” said Kelly, noting that she has covered the hacked emails and that Trump’s behavior toward women is important. “But I am fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we’re getting in the Oval Office.”
“You can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them, Mr. Speaker,” Kelly added later, to which Gingrich replied, “You, too.”
