Donald Trump just can’t quit Fox News. The GOP hopeful who declared he would not appear on the network “for the foreseeable future” is, it would seem, still an avid watcher of the nation’s most popular cable news network.
On “The Kelly File” Wednesday, National Review editor Rich Lowry told Megyn Kelly Trump has been upset since the last GOP debate because Carly Fiorina “cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon and he knows it.” Explaining that is why Trump has been critical of Fiorina lately, claiming any criticism of her business record is now deemed “sexist.”
WATCH:
Trump immediately condemned Lowry and Fox on his Twitter account, going so far as calling for the Federal Communications Commission to fine Lowry for his use of the word “balls.”
Incompetent @RichLowry lost it tonight on @FoxNews. He should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 24, 2015
He then demanded an apology from Fox News for allowing Lowry’s “foul language.”
.@FoxNews owes me an apology for allowing clueless pundit @RichLowry to use such foul language on TV. Unheard of! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 24, 2015
Lowry responded to Trump’s demands:
.@realDonaldTrump I thought the Carly cut your balls off line might bother you, but you know it’s true…
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump I love how Mr. Anti-PC now wants the FCC to fine me. #pathetic — Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump so it’s OK for you to insult Carly’s looks, but you can’t handle me describing what happened to you in the debate?
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump man, you can dish it out but you REALLY, REALLY can’t take it — Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump a deal for you, Donald: if you apologize to Carly for your boorish insult, I might stop noting how she cut your b**** off

Twitter responded as only Twitter can.
Now we know President Trump would send the FCC after anyone who insults his genitalia. https://t.co/RL4pXmyHip — Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) September 24, 2015

Can we start a campaign to send Donald Trump many, many boxes of Kleenex? He may need them, since he’s such a freaking crybaby. — Liz Mair (@LizMair) September 24, 2015

In real life, what do you call an obnoxious, vapid bully who whines when somebody finally stand up to him? Certainly not “Mr. President.” — Ron Fournier (@ron_fournier) September 24, 2015

@RichLowry unreal. On behalf of TV personalities everywhere, it’s best we stick to being TV personalities and not run for President. — Montel Williams (@Montel_Williams) September 24, 2015
