Donald Trump has had it with Fox News.

The Republican presidential front-runner fired off a series of tweets and retweets aimed at the network on Monday evening, including this one:

Trump appeared particularly bothered by National Review editor Rich Lowry's appearance on "The Kelly File." Lowry said Trump claims to have a great policy or plan, but never shares what it is.

Trump fired back:

Trump's troubles with the network stem from the first Republican debate, after which he accused Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, one of the debate's moderators, of treating him unfairly.

Trump responded by tweeting numerous insults at Kelly and later saying she had "blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her -- wherever." He later claimed "wherever" referred to her nose.

While Trump and the network apparently made peace shortly afterward, he began criticizing Kelly again after she returned from vacation. On Monday evening, he retweeted a follower who told Kelly to "let it go." Trump added, "She is the worst - all anti-Trump! Terrible show."

In addition to Lowry and Kelly, Trump took some shots at Fox News host Bill O'Reilly:

Trump also retweeted several anti-Fox followers, including one who said she was boycotting the network, one who called the network "just a bunch of old Bush appointee Rhinos" and another who described Fox's treatment of Trump as "unacceptable."
