National Review Editor and Fox News Contributor Rich Lowry said GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina cut GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s “balls off with the precision of a surgeon” on a primetime national television broadcast, referencing Fiorina’s performance in the second GOP primary debate.
“What did you just say?” host Megyn Kelly responded. “You can’t say that,” as she laughed at Lowry’s statement.
Lowry’s attack against Trump took place during Fox News’ The Kelly File on the same day Trump announced he wouldn’t be appearing on Fox News anymore since the “Fair and Balanced” cable network has been reporting unfairly about him.
Trump responded to Lowry’s comment on Twitter, posting, “Incompetent @RichLowry lost it tonight on @FoxNews. He should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!”
Incompetent @RichLowry lost it tonight on @FoxNews. He should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!

.@FoxNews owes me an apology for allowing clueless pundit @RichLowry to use such foul language on TV. Unheard of! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 24, 2015
Lowry continued to “lose it” on Twitter responding to Trump:
.@realDonaldTrump a deal for you, Donald: if you apologize to Carly for your boorish insult, I might stop noting how she cut your b**** off
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump man, you can dish it out but you REALLY, REALLY can’t take it
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump so it’s OK for you to insult Carly’s looks, but you can’t handle me describing what happened to you in the debate?
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump I love how Mr. Anti-PC now wants the FCC to fine me. #pathetic
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump I thought the Carly cut your balls off line might bother you, but you know it’s true…

Lowry has gone after Trump previously, in fact, just yesterday Lowry attacked Trump in an opinion piece titled, “Donald Trump’s Ridiculous Spin, and Incredibly Thin Skin.”
He has previously appeared on The Kelly File and said Trump spoke like an eighth grader.
In Fox News’ post debate poll released Wednesday, Trump was the clear frontrunner with 26 percent and Dr. Ben Carson came in second with 18 percent.
