The Los Angeles Times reports:
Donald Trump and his Fox News nemesis Megyn Kelly made peace Tuesday in a prime-time interview that strengthened his ties with the conservative television network whose star anchor has drawn attention to his derogatory remarks about women.
In a rare display of contrition, the Republican presidential candidate expressed regret for nasty comments about Kelly that he spread to millions of followers on Twitter. Kelly asked Trump about calling her a “bimbo.”
“Uhh, well, that was a retweet, yeah — did I say that?” Trump asked.
“Many times,” Kelly said.
“Ooooh, OK — excuse me,” Trump said.
The interview in Trump’s Manhattan office captured the 2016 election’s extraordinary merging of politics and celebrity branding.
For Trump, the former reality TV star of “The Apprentice,” it was a chance to try to improve his dismal image among women as he prepares to face Democrat Hillary Clinton in November. A Washington Post-ABC News poll last month found 75% of women viewed Trump unfavorably.
