Megyn Kelly is getting support from an unlikely source: Michael Moore.
“I feel bad for you,” the liberal moviemaker told her on Fox News’s “The Kelly File” Tuesday night. “You’re being attacked. I’m here for you. You’re OK, aren’t you?
{mosads}Kelly is under fire from GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump, who plans to skip the GOP debate hosted by Fox on Thursday, in part because Kelly is moderating. The real estate tycoon’s snub comes just six days before Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses on Feb. 1.
“What is he afraid of?” he asked of Trump. “I’m sitting here, right? Donald, come sit with me, and I’ll hold your hand. She’s fine.
“You just didn’t deserve to be treated that way,” he told Kelly.
Kelly and Trump have feuded since last August when the pair met in the first Republican contest in Cleveland. Trump accused the Fox News personality of bias when she sharply interrogated him over his past remarks toward women.
His unusual move comes amid a fierce battle with Ted Cruz for Iowa’s voters. The two rivals are separated by about 6 points in the Hawkeye State, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of surveys.
