Donald Trump is none too pleased with Fox News. While he thinks he did a good job answering the "much tougher questions" thrown at him in the first GOP debate on Thursday night, he told MSNBC's Morning Joe on Friday, "I'm not sure that Fox is fair necessarily." He criticized the conservative cable network for torpedoing him while offering "softball questions" to his opponents, in a display of unfairness that he says everyone on stage "couldn't even believe."
Trump panned GOP moderator Megyn Kelly on both the morning talk show and on Twitter for one particular question about the names he's called women, which, according to Kelly, include "fat, pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals." While Trump admits he isn't an "angel," he told the Morning Joe hosts that he really didn't "know where they got some of those words, to be honest."
