Although Donald Trump was technically in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday morning for the opening of his new hotel, he couldn't help but give a shout-out to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) for his combative interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly on Tuesday night's episode of The Kelly File. "Congratulations Newt on last night, that was an amazing interview. You don't play games, Newt," Trump said, per Time's Zeke Miller.
In the "amazing interview," Gingrich accused Kelly of being "fascinated with sex" after she asked about the numerous allegations of sexual assault that have been raised against Trump. "I'm sick and tired of people like you using language that's inflammatory. That's not true," Gingrich said, after Kelly started a sentence by asking "if Trump is a sexual predator."
