Just hours after Scott Walker dropped out of the GOP presidential race and urged other candidates to band together against Donald Trump, the front-running billionaire launched a Twitter tirade against Fox News. Trump tweeted "I am having a really hard time watching @FoxNews."

He called out frequent Fox guest Rich Lowry, who is editor of the National Review. "@RichLowry is truly one of the dumbest of the talking heads - he doesn't have a clue!"

"@seleti00: @realDonaldTrump @FoxNews They attack you more then CNN or MSNBC combined. Just a bunch of old Bush appointee Rhinos."
