Kelly – who [tangled with Trump](http://www.people.com/article/megyn-kelly-responds-donald-trump-comments-wont-apologize "undefined") during the first GOP candidates debate earlier this month – had been on vacation but as soon as Monday’s show ended, the Republican presidential candidate took to Twitter to give her a piece of his mind. “@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game. Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration,” Trump [Tweeted](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/635990651738419200 "undefined"). He followed it up minutes later with another Tweet: “I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly. Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!” > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/635990651738419200) > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/635992616748904448) Trump then proceeded to Retweet others who criticized Kelly by referring to her as a “bimbo” and claimed that her show was “a waste of an hour.” His rage at the news anchor was fueled on Aug. 6 when Trump accused Kelly of being unfair to him at the [Republican debate](http://www.people.com/article/donald-trump-booed-women-republican-debate "undefined") and unleashed a [string of attacks](http://www.people.com/article/donald-trump-disinvited-redstate-gathering-megyn-kelly "undefined") on her. Days later, [Kelly responded](http://www.people.com/article/megyn-kelly-responds-donald-trump-comments-wont-apologize "undefined") on an episode of _The Kelly File_. “I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism, so I’ll continue doing my job without fear or favor,” she said.
