On Thursday night, Fox News commentator Megyn Kelly sat down with "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon to discuss her role as a debate moderator and, of course, Donald Trump.
The host started off by complementing Kelly on her performance during the first GOP debate in August and then asked her if her life had changed since the first debate. But Kelly reminded Fallon that not everyone felt that she did her job as a moderator well.
"Donald Trump did not feel the same," Kelly told Fallon. "So it changed a little. Like, I can no longer go on Twitter."
Kelly told Fallon that the past six months have been "surreal" and she had no idea about the backlash from Trump afterwards. "We never anticipated anybody would react to the questions in that particular way," she said. "But [I] sort of keep my head down and shoulders back and try to forge forward."
Fallon then brought up the series of Tweets that Trump wrote about the Fox News anchor and said he thought they got "out of control" and mentioned that Kelly handled the situation "very well." When it was announced that Kelly would again be a moderator for the Fox News debate that took place last month, Trump bowed out and did not attend.
"He said it was about me, then it was about a statement my boss put out, then it was about a gum wrapper on the floor, there were a lot of reasons that he gave," Kelly said. "So I don't know exactly why he did not show up."
"I think he thinks it hurt him," Kelly said of Trump skipping the debate. "It was basically his last job interview with the Iowans, and he skipped it."
"He's electrified the Republican base," she added. "Don't count him out."
