Megyn Kelly reveals what Christie said to her during debate commercial — then she dishes out the brutal truth

Megyn Kelly is spilling the beans on what happened between her and Chris Christie during Wednesday's Republican debate.

During a debate commercial break, Christie confronted Kelly and the other debate moderators, and it was clear from his body language that Christie was upset about something. Nothing is heard in the video, leading to widespread speculation online.

On Thursday, Kelly confirmed that Christie was upset with her.

"It was not off the record. He was pissed off. He was mad that he wasn't getting enough questions," Kelly revealed.

According to Kelly, she told Christie that he would "be happy" in the second hour of the debate because the moderators were planning to ask him more questions. But she admitted that Christie "was right" that he "had been excluded" in the previous debate segment. That's because the candidates were arguing over one another, which stalled the debate several times.

Still, Kelly defended the decision to give the other candidates more airtime.

"He's polling at 2%! OK? In no debate ever — and I've now done six of them — have we given as many questions to the guy who's at 3% as to the person who's in the lead, at least amongst the candidates on the stage. I'm sorry, Governor Christie. That's the way it is," Kelly said.

Finally, Kelly highlighted how much time each candidate spoke during the debate, observing that Christie received almost the same amount of time as Nikki Haley.

"So I don't want to hear it, frankly. We did right by him. He got a ton of airtime. That's what he was mad about," Kelly said. "I like the guy, but just to break some news on what people speculating on, [the candidates] never like it when they don't get to speak."
