For a time, the hype surrounding the Republican primary season was largely defined by the Donald Trump-Megyn Kelly feud. The whole thing climaxed with the oversold interview between Kelly and Trump on Kelly's primetime special, Megyn Kelly Presents. That interview, glossy and nice as it was, disappointed many—especially women—who wanted Kelly to get him, and get him good, on his many accounts of misogyny. She had done it during the Fox debate, after all. But that didn't happen, and the feud was nicely patched up.

In the time between the debate and the special, however, Kelly was attacked for her anti-Trump stance by viewers, and of course, by Trump himself. Apparently, it was more serious than garbage Twitter mentions. According to a New York Magazine report about Fox News and Roger Ailes published today, Kelly received death threats from viewers. And then there was this:

Kelly had even begun to speculate, according to one Fox source, that Trump might have been responsible for her getting violently ill before the debate last summer. Could he have paid someone to slip something into her coffee that morning in Cleveland? she wondered to colleagues.

Well then.
