"Listen, it's not about me," Kelly said. “And we did.” 
 
 Gingrich was still speaking: “ … I mean, you want to go back through the tapes of your show recently, you are fascinated with sex, and you don’t care about public policy.” 
 
 Newt Gingrich engaged in a vicious show-down with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly on Oct. 24 over the sexual assault allegations against Trump. "You are fascinated with sex, and you don't care about public policy," Gingrich said on-air after weeks of lukewarm defenses of Trump. Really?” she said, laughing. “Well, that’s what I get out of watching you tonight,” Gingrich said. Gingrich then said Kelly chose to cover the allegations rather than the Clinton emails because she is "fascinated by sex." But I am fascinated by the protection of women …” 
 
 GINGRICH: “Okay.” 
 
 KELLY: “ … and understanding what we’re getting in the Oval Office …” 
 
 GINGRICH: “Okay.” 
 
 KELLY: “ … and I think the American voters would like to know …” 
 
 GINGRICH: “And, therefore, we’re going to send Bill Clinton back to the East Wing, because after all, you are worried about sexual predators.” 
 
 “Yeah, listen, it’s not about me,” Kelly said. And the poll numbers show us that the women of America, in particular, are very concerned about these allegations and, in large part, believe that they are a real issue. Gingrich said that Kelly took a position as soon as she used the words, "sexual predator." Kelly was not.] “Say ‘Bill Clinton, sexual predator.’” 
 
 KELLY: “Mr. Speaker, we’ve covered — excuse me, sir …” 
 
 GINGRICH: “Disbarred by the Iowa, by the Arkansas bar.” 
 
 KELLY: “Excuse me. And the polls also show that the American public is less interested …” 
 
 GINGRICH: “He’ll be in the, he’ll be in the East Wing.” 
 
 KELLY: “ … in the deeds of Hillary Clinton’s husband than they are in the deeds of the man who asks us to make him president, Donald Trump. We’re going to have to leave it at that, and you can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them, Mr. Speaker. Thanks for being here.” 
 
 GINGRICH: “And you, too.” 
 
 It wasn’t clear whether he was responding to the first half of Kelly’s farewell, or the second. The Trump campaign’s social-media director had some early thoughts. Trump himself — whose relationship with Kelly this year has ranged all the way from ice cold to lukewarm, and back again — responded at a midday event at his Washington, D.C. hotel. "By the way – congratulations, Newt, on last night. We don't play games," Trump said. USA TODAY

– Megyn Kelly tried to ask Newt Gingrich about the Donald Trump groping allegations Tuesday night—but she didn't get further than the words "If Trump is a sexual predator ..." before Gingrich blew up. "He's not a sexual predator!" Gingrich told the Fox host, per USA Today. "You can't say that. You could not defend that statement. Now, I'm sick and tired of people like you using language that's inflammatory, that's not true!" said Gingrich, a prominent Trump surrogate. "I think that your defensiveness on this may speak volumes," Kelly told Gingrich, who earlier in the interview accused the media of having Pravda-like bias in its coverage of Clinton versus Trump. As the exchange grew more heated, with Kelly insisting that the Trump allegations are an issue people care about and that Fox had also covered allegations against Bill Clinton, Gingrich said: "You are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy." Kelly responded: "I'm not fascinated by sex, but I am fascinated by protection of women and understanding what we're getting in the Oval Office." Gingrich went on to demand that she say the words "Bill Clinton, sexual predator," reports the Washington Post, which calls the showdown "one for the ages." "We're going to have to leave it at that, and you can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them, Mr. Speaker," Kelly said as time ran out. "Thanks for being here."
