Trump’s criticism of TV host popular with GOP stirs backlash

Donald Trump already slammed the president, the Democratic Party and his Republican rivals in the race for the White House, as well as immigrants from Mexico, the Chinese and Sen. John McCain for being a prisoner of war.

To that fast-growing list, he has now added Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly.

The Republican Party has long wrestled with the public perception that it is waging a “war on women” and has struggled to convince more women that it’s on their side.

By Sunday, as Trump made the rounds of the morning talk shows, he was insisting, “I cherish women.”

And yet for the outspoken, combative Trump, Kelly would seem to represent a type of person primed to get his goat.
