NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Megyn Kelly is suing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for harassment after that feisty exchange on live television in Thursday night’s GOP presidential debate.

The FOX News anchor, in one of the highlights of the evening, asked Trump to explain his often-disparaging comments about women.

“You’ve called women ‘fat pigs, dogs, slobs, disgusting animals,'” she said.

“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump said, cutting Kelly’s question off mid-sentence.

“And honestly Megyn, if you don’t like it, I’m sorry,” he added. “I’ve been very nice to you, although I could probably maybe not be, based on the way you have treated me. ”

Kelly took that as a threat and said that she feared for her safety.

In a complaint filed in New York City’s superior court, Kelly sought for a restraining order to prevent Trump from coming within 50 feet of wherever is she. She is also asking the court to  ban the real estate mogul from using his Twitter account to further insult and criticize her.

In a series of late-night tweets, Trump blasted  Kelly for singling him out during the debate.

Meanwhile, Rosie O’Donnel is also reportedly considering filing a separate complaint against Trump for defamation of character.

Feminist attorney Gloria Allred has confirmed that she will be representing both Kelly and O’Donnel in the lawsuits on a pro-bono basis.  “It’s not about the money, she said, it’s about standing up for women.”

FOX NEWS REVEALS NEW REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE FORMAT

imageCLEVELAND, Ohio (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The stage is set for the Republican presidential debate to be held at 9 p.m. on Thursday at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. It will air live on the Fox News Channel with moderators Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier.

The GOP  debate will feature candidates who made it to the top ten on an average of the five most recent national polls, as follows:

1. Donald Trump
2. Jeb Bush
3. Scott Walker
4. Mike Huckabee
5. Ben Carson
6. Ted Cruz
7. Marco Rubio
8. Rand Paul
9. Chris Christie
10. John Kasich

Fox News today revealed a new debate format negotiated with Trump. It will mimic the Miss Universe Beauty pageant.

Each of the candidates will pick the name of one of the moderators who will ask the first question. Each candidate will have  10 minutes to answer their respective questions.

After all candidates have had their turn, the moderators will narrow the field to the top five candidates based on viewer votes via the Internet.

Then each of the five finalists will answer the one and the same question picked from Facebook, and will have 5 minutes to do so.  The candidates will have the option to use an interpreter.

Towards the end of the televised debate, viewers will again vote to determine the winner as well as the first, second, third and fourth runners-up.

Meanwhile, CNN, which is expected to host the Democratic presidential debate, says it loves the new format but doubts that it will be able to do the same for the Democratic debate since there may not be 10 candidates.

SAN FRANCISCO SUPERVISOR REFUSES TO BE INTERVIEWED BY FOX NEWS, OR BY CNN’S DON LEMON

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® )  – Scott Wiener, member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing the district that includes the gay Castro, refused to be interviewed by FOX News today, claiming that “FOX News is not real news,” and that the reporter is anything but.

Shortly thereafter, CNN’s Don Lemon called Wiener’s office asking the supervisor to be a guest on the openly gay “journalist’s” talk show. Wiener likewise refused, repeating what he said about FOX. “CNN is not real news, and you’re not a real journalist.”image

The Adobo Chronicles®  contacted Wiener to schedule an in-person interview with him to discuss issues of concern to  San Francisco’s LGBT community.

We were put on Wiener’s calendar for tomorrow, at 10 a.m.
