Megyn Kelly Getting Death Threats From Trump Supporters

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by TexasTowelie (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

I'm thinking back and trying to remember the last debate moderator that ever received death threats and I am coming up blank. Maybe in the 1800's at some point? Trump supporters are certifiably wing nuts with anger issues. Well Fox, you created the beast now deal with it.

Hating and feeling entitled to use females is central to his ideology.

Fox is going to play up poor widdle blond wingnut Megyn. Trump and his supporters are wackos.

Let them have at each other.

mirror their idol.

Fox needs to call Trump out if he doesn't call off the dogs. I have no doubt that some of those threats aren't theats at all, more like promises and warnings.

If Kelly doesn't walk after that stunt, she gets what she deserves. In that case, the only other thing she has in her eyes other than two fuzzy caterpillars is dollar signs.
