Megyn Kelly: Fox Didn’t Want ‘Any Sort of a War with Donald Trump’

KELLY: “Neither one of us wanted any sort of a war with Donald Trump. You know, and we didn’t think that benefited the channel. We didn’t think it benefited me. And we don’t think it benefited Donald Trump. And I think Donald Trump would say that now. So we just sort of wanted to move forward, you know, put a period at the end of it. He was obviously up set. That’s fine. That’s, you know, he’s running for president. It’s not a fun business and there are going to be ups and downs. And I know he considered that a down. So we just wanted to forge forward and try to put it behind us. Not pour any more fuel on that fire.”
ROSE: “Do you want him back on your show?”
KELLY: “I’m sure he’ll come back on eventually.”
ROSE: “Sooner rather than later?”
KELLY: “Well, it has to be just right. I think that will be a big moment. Don’t you think that will be a big television moment, right?”
ROSE: “Of course it will.”
KELLY: “So I think we have to handle that just right. I can’t just pop him up there any night like I  would any other presidential candidate because people will be anticipating that exchange. And I want to ask him all the things people want me to ask him, you know, like why did you get so upset? What do you think about how it went in the days after, any regrets on it? You know, I think we both know the answer to that. No.”
