Roger Ailes Fires Back at Trump

As Popeye used to say, "I had all I can stands and I can't stands no more."

You can put Fox News boss Roger Ailes in the same camp as Popeye. Ailes is done standing back and letting Donald Trump attack his golden girl Megyn Kelly.

After Trump went on another Twitter rant against Kelly, Ailes has spoken out. Fox News released this statement from the Fox News kingpin:

“Donald Trump's surprise and unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly during her show last night is as unacceptable as it is disturbing. Megyn Kelly represents the very best of American journalism and all of us at FOX News Channel reject the crude and irresponsible attempts to suggest otherwise. I could not be more proud of Megyn for her professionalism and class in the face of all of Mr. Trump’s verbal assaults. Her questioning of Mr. Trump at the debate was tough but fair, and I fully support her as she continues to ask the probing and challenging questions that all presidential candidates may find difficult to answer. Donald Trump rarely apologizes, although in this case, he should. We have never been deterred by politicians or anyone else attacking us for doing our job, much less allowed ourselves to be bullied by anyone and we’re certainly not going to start now. All of our journalists will continue to report in the fair and balanced way that has made FOX News Channel the number one news network in the industry.”
