Megyn Kelly, host of “The Kelly File” on Fox News, is back from vacation — and Donald Trump wasted no time resuming his attacks on her.
Shortly after Monday night’s broadcast, Kelly’s first since Aug. 12, Trump fired off a series of tweets critical of her, including a retweet in which she was called a “bimbo” and another that remarked on her looks.
Here’s the Republican presidential candidate’s reaction to the broadcast, which featured an interview with teacher and activist Cornel West:
.@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game. Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration!

I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly. Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!

Trump has been feuding with Kelly since the Republican debate on Aug. 6, saying she was unfair to him by asking about the misogynistic insults he has directed at women over the years.
Hours after the debate, Trump sent out a series of tweets and retweets attacking her. Then, he infamously said she had “blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her — wherever.” Trump later claimed “wherever” referred to her nose.
Shortly after the Trump tirade, Kelly went on vacation, which Trump implied was “probably” because of fallout over the debate. However, Fox News said the vacation had been planned.
The attacks on Kelly reportedly led to a phone call between Trump and Fox News chairman Roger Ailes in which the two agreed to an apparent ceasefire.
Based on Trump’s tweets late Monday, the ceasefire may be over.
