Donald Trump and Fox News host Megyn Kelly's highly-anticipated interview aired Tuesday night in a primetime network broadcast — their first one-on-one after months of bitter feuding.
The taped sit-down between the two — widely hailed as a reconciliation — was part of a special on the Fox broadcast network. During the conversation, Kelly pointed to Trump's power and influence, then confronted him about his frequent attacks against her — attacks in which Trump referred to the host as a "bimbo" and "crazy."
Trump responded to the question by cringing, then saying "excuse me."
"Over your life Megyn you've been called a lot worse," he added.
The interview between the candidate and the host of Fox News' The Kelly File came after nearly ten months of friction between the two. The conflict began after an August Republican debate during which Kelly confronted Trump about some of his controversial comments, including calling women "fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals."
After the debate, Trump responded by criticizing the moderators and saying Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her... wherever."
Kelly refused to apologize for the line of questioning, arguing it was "tough but fair." The spate then continued into 2016, with with Trump referring to Kelly as "Crazy Megyn" and skipping a another debate hosted by Fox. Kelly called the situation "bizarre" and hit back when Trump slammed her on Twitter.
