Donald Trump might want to Google "Rich Lowry."

On Wednesday night'sThe Kelly File, Lowry — the editor of the widely respected conservative journal National Review, which was founded by William F. Buckley Jr. took a rather graphic stab at Trump, joking that Carly Fiorina had castrated him during the latest Republican debate. Trump jumped on Twitter to slam back, saying Lowry "should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!" Lowry tweeted back at Trump, saying, "Man, you can dish it out but you REALLY, REALLY can't take it."
