Fox News host Megyn Kelly backed Donald Trump's new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, into a corner Monday night on The Kelly File when she asked Conway to square her self-proclaimed disdain for personal insults with her support for Donald Trump. Conway has argued that Trump doesn't personally attack people, a statement Kelly told Conway she has to know is "not true."
But Conway stood her ground, pointing out that Trump doesn't attack "without being attacked first." "But does that excuse it?" Kelly asked, pointing out that, just recently, he called Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski "neurotic" — and that certainly wasn't the first time Trump has called "female news personalities things like 'crazy.'"
