Megyn Kelly Hits Back At Trump’s Accusations of Cherry-Picking Polls: ‘Facts Matter’

Because Donald Trump has proven himself completely incapable of letting go of his one-sided war against Megyn Kelly, he took to Twitter over the past few days to accuse the Fox host of picking polls to discuss on her show that make him look bad.

.@megynkelly used this poll (nobody else did) when I was down—wonder if she’ll use it now that I’m up? https://t.co/wEhqux6Ss8

The IBD/TIPP poll Trump reference was used by Kelly several days ago while she was discussing his slip in the polls to Ben Carson. Raghavan Mayur, president of TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence who conducted the poll said that both Trump and Carson have been scrutinized by the media recently, but attributed Trump’s fall to his boycotts with Fox.

With the new poll showing him back on top, Trump claimed that Kelly refused to show it on purpose.

Isn't it terrible that @megynkelly used a poll not used before (I.B.D.) when I was down, but refuses to use it now when I am up?

Kelly, however, decided to strike back on this one, showing a screenshot of her use of that very poll two days ago, with a reminder that “facts matter.”
