Donald Trump said he's wary of attending the Fox News Republican debate on Thursday because Fox News anchor and moderator Megyn Kelly "doesn't treat me fairly."
"I'm not a big fan of hers at all," Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Monday. Trump and Kelly first clashed last August, when Kelly asked Trump a question during the first Fox News debate about harsh comments he previously made about women. Trump said today, more people know Kelly because of him, and it's possible she doesn't like him because he "know[s] too much about her." "I might be the best thing that ever happened to her," he said. "You know, whoever even heard of her before the last debate?" Trump said if he thinks he's "going to be treated unfairly, I'll do something else. But I don't think she can treat me fairly, actually. I think she's very biased and I don't think she can treat me fairly."
