Donald Trump praised former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for his “amazing interview” with Megyn Kelly Tuesday night, during which he grew increasingly combative with the Fox News anchor and accused her of being “fascinated with sex.”

“By the way, congratulations, Newt, on last night,” the Republican presidential nominee told Gingrich during a speech Wednesday at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of new his Washington, D.C., hotel. “That was an amazing interview.”
