Was Megyn Kelly the person Donald Trump wanted to shoot on Fifth Avenue?

In his post-Super Bowl special, Stephen Colbert asked Fox News star Megyn Kelly why her network is feuding with Donald Trump. "Trump has been on Fox News 140 times in the past year, so we're not feuding with him," she said. "But he does have a beef with me." That wasn't news to Colbert (or anyone), and he read one of Trump's unkind tweets about her, asking Kelly if she'd like to reply in kind. Kelly declined, but she did have a question she said she really wants to ask him.

"He recently said that his supporters are so devoted to him that he said he could go in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and he wouldn't lose a single voter," Kelly said. "In response to which I want to ask him, 'Were you talking about me?'" Luckily, the Fox News studios are on Sixth Avenue. Watch Kelly explain her "beef" with Trump below. Peter Weber
