Megyn Kelly Is Calling Out Trump's Absurd History with Women
Cutting right through the bullsh*t.
By Sarah Rense, September 29, 2016

Last night, Megyn Kelly said two words to Kellyanne Conway, manager of the Trump campaign: "Kellyanne. C'mon."

Finally.

Kelly was referring to Conway's defense of Trump's record with women, one Conway described as "a couple of comments he's made over 25 years or so with respect to women." To which Kelly countered, "You know that's not true." Here's why it's not true.

As Kelly reminded Conway, Trump made disparaging comments about Carly Fiorina, Heidi Cruz, and Hillary Clinton during this election alone. Kelly didn't bring it up, but he also made disparaging comments about her. Recently, Kelly told investigators she was sexually harassed by Roger Ailes, who is advising Trump for the debates. Today, a former Philadelphia Inquirer reporter recalled Trump calling her "that cunt" after she wrote a story about his Atlantic City casino dealings—a story he didn't read past the headline. This is an incomplete list.



But Conway didn't want to talk about Trump's history with women. Why did Kelly have to keep bringing it up?

"Because she's killing him with women," Kelly said, which makes this conversation relevant and makes Kelly's line of questioning fair. Polls have Clinton beating Trump by 17 percent among likely women voters.

Unfortunately for Conway, there's no good rebuttal. Trump has made it crystal clear he stands firmly by his comments about women. Conway can't make him unsay things, nor can she claim they were mistakes made by an old, more regrettable version of Trump—he was doubling down on his comments about Alicia Machado's weight yesterday on Fox & Friends. This is a thankless task. But thank god Kelly made her acknowledge it.
