Donald Trump launches new scathing attack against Megyn Kelly, shares another 'bimbo' insult against her
Fox News
In a series of tweets late Monday night, Trump blasted Kelly's performance on her show, "The Kelly File," and promoted tweets calling her a "bimbo" and comparing her looks to an older female TV host, Nancy Grace:
"@mstanish53: @realDonaldTrump @megynkelly The bimbo back in town . I hope not for long ."

"@bigpaulfla: @realDonaldTrump She has come back looking like Nancy Grace"

The Trump attacks are notable because he and the network had struck a public ceasefire earlier in the month. Kelly moderated the first Republican debate and asked Trump a series of allegedly unfair questions, including one about derogatory comments he's made toward women.
The developer lashed out at Kelly following the debate. On Twitter, he promoted another tweet calling the host a "bimbo," and in a series of interviews blasting her, he made a particularly controversial comment that many interpreted as a sexist reference to menstruation.
"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her - wherever," Trump recalled of Kelly during the debate. (Trump later insisted he meant "nose" or "ears": "Only a deviant would think anything else," he added.)
Relations between Trump, who polls show is the Republican front-runner, and Fox, which has an outsize influence among GOP voters, continued to publicly deteriorate. Kelly even reportedly received death threats from Trump's supporters. Eventually, Fox News chief Roger Ailes and Trump had a "blunt" conversation that they said resolved their differences.
But Trump is clearly not done criticizing and mocking Kelly:
.@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game. Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration!

I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly. Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!

"@PatrickStinard: @megynkelly Kelly File was much better without Megyn Kelly. Her replacement while she was out on vacation was much better!
