Megyn Kelly, Jorge Ramos find common ground through Trump

CBS News
August 27, 2015

Donald Trump's fiery rhetoric continues to be the talk of the 2016 campaign trail as candidates from both parties -- and journalists -- are responding to his attacks. The targets of two Trump media feuds met Wednesday night when popular Univision anchor Jorge Ramos appeared on Fox News' "Kelly File."

Ramos and Fox anchor Megyn Kelly found common ground after his Tuesday night confrontation with Trump, CBS News' Julianna Goldman reports.

Ramos was kicked out of a Trump press conference in Iowa Tuesday but was eventually let back in.

"It happened with your colleagues at Fox News. He doesn't like it when he's being confronted," Ramos said.

Trump took to conservative talk radio Wednesday to defend his behavior.

"He was just telling me things. And it was a very loud, shrill voice. And I said, 'What's going on over here?' And I just didn't think it was appropriate the way he behaved," Trump said on "The Hugh Hewitt Show."

He also announced his second public truce with Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.

"I have much bigger things to think about honestly. ... Roger Ailes is a special guy, he's a good friend of mine, and we just spoke two minutes ago. I mean, Roger Ailes is a great guy, and no, I have no problem," Trump said.

But Trump may have a problem with GOP rival Jeb Bush, who said the front-runner should be challenged for putting out an immigration plan that is not conservative.

"Do it as a conservative for crying out loud ... Go through these questions, and what you'll find is that this guy doesn't have a plan. He's appealing to people's angst and their anger," Bush said.

Trump was unfazed.

"I guess he's trying very hard because I used the term 'low energy.' He is a low-energy person by nature and that's OK," Trump said on Bloomberg.

The GOP front-runner also took heat from Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

"Don't get distracted by the flamboyant front-runner," Clinton said.

She faced her own questions about Vice President Joe Biden. He told Democratic insiders on a private conference call that he was weighing whether he had "the emotional fuel" to run for president.

Does Joe Biden have what it takes to compete in New Hampshire?
Clinton told reporters Biden should be given time to make his decision.

"I just want the vice president to decide to do what's right for him and his family, and I don't think it's useful to be behind the scenes asking this or saying that," Clinton said.


The vice president also told members of the Democratic National Committee before its summer meeting on Friday that he wants to "be able to commit ... whole heart and ... soul" to a potential run, and "right now, both are pretty well banged up" -- a reference to the recent death of his eldest son, Beau.
