Gingrich to Megyn Kelly: I don't have anger management issues

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich denied having “anger issues” Wednesday, hours after accusing Fox News host Megyn Kelly of being “fascinated with sex.”

“For the record, @megynkelly was wrong, i don't have anger management issues,” Gingrich tweeted Wednesday morning. “I do have media bias issues!”


Gingrich, a top supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, sparred with the Fox News host Tuesday evening. He attacked Kelly for overemphasizing the sexual assault allegations against the GOP nominee (Trump has vehemently denied the charges and threatened to sue after the election) during their interview instead of focusing on Hillary Clinton’s private speeches to Wall Street, which were revealed in a WikiLeaks hack of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s personal email account.

“You want to go back to the tapes of your show recently? You are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy,” Gingrich said.

“Listen, Mr. Speaker, I'm not fascinated by sex,” said Kelly, who noted that she has covered the hacked emails and said Trump’s behavior with women is important. “But I am fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we're getting in the Oval Office."

Kelly shot down the relevance of Bill Clinton’s past sex scandals, highlighting that it’s Hillary Clinton and Trump who are on the ballot, making the former president’s “deeds” less interesting to the public than “the deeds of the man who asks us to make him president, Donald Trump.”

“You can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them, Mr. Speaker,” Kelly said, to which Gingrich replied, “You, too.”
