Things got a little tense in an interview between former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Fox News host Megyn Kelly Tuesday after Kelly asked Gingrich about the women accusing GOP nominee Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. "You are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy," Gingrich charged after Kelly asked if Trump should be considered a sexual predator following the release of a tape in which he says that because he is a star he can grope a woman if he wants to. "You cannot defend that statement," Gingrich said. "I'm sick and tired of people like you using language that's inflammatory that's not true." Kelly answered, "You know what Mr. Speaker, I'm not fascinated by sex but I am fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we're getting in the Oval Office."
