"We don't play games," Trump added.

In the interview Tuesday evening, Gingrich batted down questions about women who have accused Trump of groping them and the 2005 recording in which the GOP nominee brags about being able to kiss and grab women because of his celebrity.

"I am sick and tired of people like you using that language. That is inflammatory. That is not true," Gingrich told Kelly.

Gingrich pointed his finger at the camera after Kelly used the term "sexual predator" to describe the allegations against the GOP presidential nominee.

"You are fascinated with sex, and you don't care about public policy," Gingrich said.
