The war of words between Donald Trump and Fox News turned nasty Wednesday night.
On Megyn Kelly’s Fox News talk show, conservative columnist Rich Lowry asserted that Carly Fiorina had castrated Trump.
Lowry, a prominent Trump critic, referred to Trump’s private parts and said Fiorina had the “precision of a surgeon.”
Kelly, who looked shocked at the remark, said “what did you just say?”
Trump was apparently shocked too — he lambasted Lowry via Twitter, calling him “incompetent” and adding, “He should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!”
The FCC — Federal Communications Commission — occasionally fines broadcast networks for indecency, but has no power to sanction cable channels like Fox News.
Lowry gleefully replied to Trump on Twitter: “Man, you can dish it out but you REALLY, REALLY can’t take it.”
Fox News had no immediate comment on the off-color moment.
