Megyn Kelly brutally takes down Trump's campaign manager over Trump's sexist history

Megyn Kelly knows a thing or two about what it is like to be on the receiving end of Donald Trump's misogynistic comments about women, and she certainly wasn't letting his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, off the hook about her candidate's sexist history Wednesday night.

"You raised the question about, he made a couple comments over 25 years," Kelly said. "You know that's not true. You know. You know he has repeatedly made comments about women, about their looks, about their size, their weight. Even in this campaign, talking about Carly Fiorina's face, retweeting a negative picture about Heidi Cruz's face, criticizing Hillary Clinton and her 'look.' And Kellyanne, this is an issue for him, is it not?"

As Conway attempted to respond, criticizing Hillary Clinton for latching onto the issue, Kelly again grew frustrated. "[It's] because she's killing him with women," Kelly interrupts. "And she sees an advantage there and she's trying to exploit it. And my question to you is whether [Trump] needs to come up with a better answer than telling Fox & Friends, 'Well [Alicia Machado] gained a bunch of weight when she won Miss Universe and she was a real problem."

It's a merciless interrogation, and one in which Conway is clearly stumbling to keep up. Watch the takedown, below. —Jeva Lange
