On Tuesday, Donald Trump chose to avoid reports that some of his supporters chanted Nazi salutes and made death threats toward Black Lives Matter protesters during his Monday rally, instead ranting against one of his favorite targets: Megyn Kelly.
Kelly and Fox News drew the ire of the Donald for an error relating to its airing of a Monmouth University Poll showing Trump ahead of second place Ted Cruz, 41 percent to 14 percent.
“.@megynkelly is very bad at math. She was totally unable to figure out the difference between me and Cruz in the new Monmouth Poll 41to14,” he tweeted.
The Donald, who hasn’t shied away from going at it with the No. 1 cable news network,
.@megynkelly, the most overrated anchor at @FoxNews, worked hard to explain away the new Monmouth poll 41 to 14 or 27 pt lead. She said 15!

I wonder if @megynkelly and her flunkies have written their scripts yet about my debate performance tonight. No matter how well I do – bad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2015
And never to stop at just two negative tweets, Trump went for the Fox-bashing trifecta.
Between Iraq war monger @krauthammer, dummy @KarlRove, deadpan @GeorgezWill, highly overrated @megynkelly, among others, @FoxNews not fair!

Responding to the GOP frontrunner’s criticisms, a Fox News spokesperson told TheWrap that Kelly’s on-air poll graphic was correct; the error was in one of the show’s scripts, which will be corrected tonight.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer has the tall task of taming Trump at 8 p.m. ET during CNN’s GOP debate.
