It looks like Fox News host Megyn Kelly and her brush with Donald Trump may not have been entirely for the worst, garnering her not only a recent Vanity Fair cover, but also a book deal.
Kelly, appearing on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Friday, said although the real estate tycoon hasn’t committed to participating in the debate, she hopes he does so they can “just move our Trump questions from the last debate over to this debate”.

Trump replied, “No, I’ll be there”. He was the only one, however, who complained, ‘ Kelly said.

“You’ve called women you don’t like “fat pigs, ‘ “dogs, ‘ “slobs” and ‘disgusting animals”, she said to Trump”.
