‘Gender Gap Now 82 Points’: Twitter Flips Out Over Megyn Kelly’s Gingrich Interview
Twitter is having a field day tonight with Megyn Kelly‘s amazing Newt Gingrich interview.
Kelly asked some tough questions of Gingrich about Donald Trump‘s campaign, Gingrich pushed back, and then he erupted and shouted, “You are fascinated with sex!”
Twitter went nuts:
@jaketapper @shadihamid Newt Gingrich pointing his finger and yelling at Megyn Kelly that she is obsessed with sex?

Men like @newtgingrich are a big reason the GOP has lost women. Men like him don't make women like me want to share a "tent" w/them. https://t.co/TBqvLPT1NF

Well that's true, if by "destroyed" you mean "vaporized by" Kelly. Newt is on an 18 year losing streak on this topic #AndWeAllLoveIt https://t.co/Z6pbgPvdOX

Trump campaign: Oafishly hostile to @megynkelly
Hillary campaign: Won't let their candidate on her show. https://t.co/bu8wm5lee5

Looks like Newt Gingrich just proved my point again.

I turned on @megynkelly in time to hear @newtgingrich accuse her of being obsessed with sex. #imwithmegyn There is a hot gender war underway

This is the sort of temper tantrum that utterly thrills #MAGA fans and just looks fairly pathetic to everyone else. https://t.co/S2Umh3D8wz

Anyone who decries the "bias" of MK's show and not the bias of what follows her show, needs to check themselves before they wreck themselves https://t.co/7i7tQkGERg

my fave part of the now legendary megyn/newt interview is when newt scrunched up his face like a pug that swallowed a fart.
— GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) October 26, 2016
Tonight @megynkelly proved why she is alone @FoxNews in terms of holding Trump folk accountable. Along with Chris Wallace, of course

Seriously Newt? What in the world is going on people!!?!?!? https://t.co/mHsmd1yGdM
— Deckard (@jsdeckard) October 26, 2016
Attacking a Fox newscaster with "You are obsessed with sex and don't care about public policy" must be the oddest Trump defense ever.
— James Ledbetter (@jledbetter) October 26, 2016
Megyn Kelly is the future of Fox News. Sean Hannity is the past. It's been clear for a while and it's more clear now than ever before.
— Matt Mackowiak (@MattMackowiak) October 26, 2016
What I like about this (beyond obvious) is that Megyn Kelly is exactly right re: polls & Trump sexual assault allegations vs. Bill Clinton's https://t.co/plGSf03BEV
— (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) October 26, 2016
Megyn Kelly has to deal with a lot of nonsense. https://t.co/qQegNstjS4
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 26, 2016
When your grandchildren ask where you were when Megyn EVISCERATED Newt, what will you tell them?
— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) October 26, 2016
TRUMP: We still have too many women supporting us.
GINGRICH: Let me go on Megyn's show tonight. https://t.co/66Kc35FqEp— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) October 26, 2016
The Newt meltdown on Megyn sounds crazy but why does anyone know about it? The World Series is on! Like, it's on television right now.
— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) October 26, 2016
Newt getting a little testy with Megyn. And personal too.. Yikes!
— johnny dollar (@johnnydollar01) October 26, 2016
Newt Gingrich just yelled at Megyn Kelly "You are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy!" on air. WOW.

The @megynkelly eye roll at 0:31 is priceless —- > https://t.co/PRlGiiHXE3

In awe of @megynkelly this election. she's rising to the occasion, will go full Targaryen on you if you tilt her https://t.co/7cEs9BzNsp
— Cody Brown (@CodyBrown) October 26, 2016
Didn't watch the clip but I assume this is Newt summarizing the response from every woman he hit on in the 90s, right @megynkelly https://t.co/ziL6LGar4x
— Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) October 26, 2016
No, seriously, @megynkelly stepped up in a huge way. Showed poise, brains, heart, guts. So fun to watch.
— Brian Koppelman (@briankoppelman) October 26, 2016
Notice that what set @newtgingrich off on his misogynist rant was @megynkelly using the term "sexual predator." @FoxNews
— kentucker (@kentucker) October 26, 2016
the Trump Tweetstorm™ forecast has been raised after tonight's Kelly/Gingrich interview. everyone stay indoors. https://t.co/TfGfRCKk0q
— Colin Campbell (@colincampbell) October 26, 2016
Now, of course, there were Trump supporters who thought Gingrich owned Kelly:
@megynkelly incredible how you represent your own convictions as "hard news" then turn up the acrimony at @newtgingrich for calling you out

Newt Gingrich gives Megyn Kelly a verbal spanking (OTK)pic.twitter.com/QJKLE4JW5W
— IrishCreeper (@outsidercapital) October 26, 2016
So Megyn won't say "Bill Clinton is a sexual predator" and Obama and Hillary won't say Radical Islamic Terrorism.. INteresting https://t.co/070I1kffmJ

If people hadn't already boycotted the #KellyFile, then @megynkelly sure as hell is now. Hope being a traitor is worth it megyn!
— Hillary IS Losing (@Cryogenik28) October 26, 2016
Go, @newtgingrich, Go!! ???????? #KellyFile @megynkelly Bravo! Didn't seem angry to me. Only truthful! #megyngotschooled
— traciwithani (@tracigreer11) October 26, 2016
Wow @megynkelly just showed how much she likes HRC and got schooled by @newtgingrich #KellyFile
— Chris Gray (@cgdallas) October 26, 2016
When @megynkelly attacked and demeaned @newtgingrich she was attacking America. She is part of the problem #biasmedia #BoycottMegynKelly
— Corryn Mobley?? (@Corrynmb) October 26, 2016
I used to love the #KellyFile. I used to think @megynkelly was just beautiful. Now I can't stand her show and her ugliness is showing
