Liberals on Twitter slammed journalist Megyn Kelly after she expressed a positive view of President Trump’s recent debate performance that the president retweeted.
“Trump won this debate, handily,” Kelly tweeted Thursday. “Biden wasn’t a force at all. Trump was substantive, on-point, well-tempered. Definitely helped himself, when it mattered most.”

Kelly’s tweet, which was retweeted over 40,000 times, drew the ire of many liberals on Twitter who were perhaps disappointed with her remarks, considering the contentious relationship that she and Trump appeared to have during the 2016 election cycle.
“Do you have windmill cancer?” actress Patricia Arquette tweeted. “I’m getting concerned.”
Kelly responded by suggesting that Arquette suffers from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“Nah, just don’t suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome and can still engage in fair analysis,” Kelly responded. “You wouldn’t understand.”
Nah, just don’t suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome and can still engage in fair analysis. You wouldn’t understand.

Arquette continued to criticize Kelly, accusing her of “drinking bleach,” to which actress Nancy Lee Grahn responded by tweeting that she prefers to drink “people’s blood.”
It’s her drink of choice. That and people’s blood.

“I hope whatever you received for your soul was worth it,” author John Pavlovitz tweeted at Kelly.

“Megyn Kelly is the Ted Cruz of journalists- Both are so pathetically desperate to get Trump on their side because it helps their careers despite how Trump cruelly ridiculed them or their spouses,” radio host Dean Obeidallah tweeted.
