In Blistering Series of Tweets, National Review Editor Rich Lowry Brutally Unloads on Donald Trump

National Review Editor Rich Lowry unloaded on Donald Trump Wednesday night, after the real estate tycoon turned to Twitter to express outrage over a critical comment he made about him on Fox News.

Appearing on "The Kelly File" earlier, Lowry said Fiorina "cut [Trump's] balls off with the precision of a surgeon" at the CNN debate.

Trump was angered by the comment and immediately fired back on Twitter.

Lowry was quick to respond, conceding that he knew his comment might strike a nerve with Trump, but arguing Trump dishes it out frequently but "REALLY, REALLY can't take it."

.@realDonaldTrump I thought the Carly cut your balls off line might bother you, but you know it's true...

.@realDonaldTrump I love how Mr. Anti-PC now wants the FCC to fine me. #pathetic

— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015

.@realDonaldTrump so it's OK for you to insult Carly's looks, but you can't handle me describing what happened to you in the debate?

.@realDonaldTrump man, you can dish it out but you REALLY, REALLY can't take it

Lowry then proposed a deal with Trump.

.@realDonaldTrump a deal for you, Donald: if you apologize to Carly for your boorish insult, I might stop noting how she cut your b**** off

As noted by CNN's media reporter Brian Stelter, Trump's suggestion the FCC fine Lowry is a "non-starter" because the agency only fines broadcast channels.

Earlier Wednesday, Trump had said he would be boycotting Fox News. However, a network spokesperson argued in a statement that he only announced his boycott after his scheduled appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor" was canceled.
