Trump and Kelly have a storied history that dates to August 2015 during the first Republican primary debate on Fox News.
During Kelly’s line of questioning, she prodded him about comments he had made during his time as a private citizen and as a television personality.
“You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs’ and ‘disgusting animals,’” Kelly said to Trump.
He responded in jest, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”
Kelly fired back, “No it wasn’t. For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell. Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks,” she continued.
Will you tune in to Megyn Kelly’s interview with Trump?
The drama between Kelly, then a prime-time Fox News host, didn’t end there. On Twitter, Trump endorsed a comment that referred to Kelly as a “bimbo,” and he directly called her a “lightweight reporter.”
After Kelly invoked a retweet from Trump in which the word “bimbo” was used at a debate, Trump replied, “You’ve been called a lot worse.”
But Kelly said during her show in July that she considered that primary and her prior interactions with Trump as part of the past.
“You know, all that nonsense between us is under the bridge, and he could not have been more magnanimous,” Kelly said, The Hill reported.
“The thing about Trump is he commands the room. It’s not just because he’s former president now, because I knew before that. There’s just something about him — it’s like an aura that sort of takes over the room. There’s only one person you can look at.”
