Donald Trump was none too pleased when he faced tough questions from Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly during last summer's Republican debate; he famously claimed that she had "blood coming out of her wherever" when moderating. A new report from New York, though, might suggest Trump tried to wiggle out of Kelly's tough interrogating before the debate even began:
... Kelly had even begun to speculate, according to one Fox source, that Trump might have been responsible for her getting violently ill before the debate last summer. Could he have paid someone to slip something into her coffee that morning in Cleveland? she wondered to colleagues. [New York]
Last August, Kelly detailed the pre-debate illness to MediaBuzz, saying, "I think it was food poisoning."
"I just started to go downhill," she explained. "First the splitting headache and I started to feel nauseous and then I actually got sick and I went to the hotel room to lie down for a little bit and was still sick and then the beautiful, wonderful savior of my life, Dr. David Silverman of New York, called me in anti-nausea medicine. My assistant was feeding me full of medicine and I was sweating with wash cloth on me at 3 in the afternoon."
