Trump Was Castrated In Last Debate, Fox Personality Says

Trump demands an apology and calls on FCC to fine the cable network.

The war of words between Donald Trump and Fox News reached new levels on Wednesday when one of the network's talking heads said the Republican presidential frontrunner had been figuratively castrated by Carly Fiorina in last week's debate.

"Let’s be honest: Carly cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon, and he knows it," National Review editor and Fox News contributor Rich Lowry told "The Kelly File" host Megyn Kelly.

"What did you just say?" asked Kelly, who has been a frequent target of Trump's wrath. "You can't say that."

Earlier this week, Trump called Lowry "one of the dumbest of the talking heads," and on Wednesday announced he was boycotting Fox News.

Trump's boycott apparently does not extend to watching the network as he quickly took to Twitter to call on the FCC to fine Lowry over the "balls" remark:

Incompetent @RichLowry lost it tonight on @FoxNews. He should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 24, 2015

Fox News, however, is not a broadcast network but a cable channel, and thus is not subject to the agency's rules on obscenity, profanity and indecency.

Trump is also demanding an apology:

.@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 responded with some tweets of his own:

.@realDonaldTrump I thought the Carly cut your balls off line might bother you, but you know it's true...

— 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 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 man, you can dish it out but you REALLY, REALLY can't take it

— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015

.@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

Lowry also began retweeting anti-Trump sentiments, many of which had the hashtag #NoBallsTrump.

Trump is scheduled to appear on both CNN and MSNBC on Thursday morning. Stay tuned.
