Donald Trump barred from event after implying hostile female journalist was
The influential conservative website RedState disinvited him from their weekend gathering and a number of GOP rivals weighed in critically.
Another pitch-perfect question from Fox came courtesy of Kelly who pressed Trump about his evolution from Democrat to Republican.
Loud cheers filled the ballroom, along with several boos. They see Trump as the victim here. But Rubio has criticized controversial things that Trump has said before about illegal immigrants and Sen.
Trump’s defence does not appear to have slowed the backlash, however.
Everything that is wrong with Donald Trump – that makes him such a danger to the Republican Party and to the country – emerged in the opening minutes of Thursday’s debate in his response to Megyn Kelly’ question about misogyny. “I think only a degenerate would think that I would have meant that”, he said in an interview, insisting that he had been referring to Kelly’s nose and ears.
Megyn Kelly attacked Donald Trump, and was put in her place (no sexist insinuation intended, for all you feminists out there).
After playing the video, Erickson continued his explanation. Bret Baier asked all of the candidates if they would consider a third party run. And Murdoch has more recently softened his tone about Trump. “God bless Red State”.
“Nothing!” the conservatives replied in unison.
-Trump called a lawyer “disgusting” when she wanted a break to pump milk for her baby, The New York Times reported last month. “It could have worked in a different age, which is the age you’re talking about here”.
Other GOP presidential candidates – all of whom are trailing Trump in national polls – weighed in.
By Saturday, Trump’s invitation to a grassroots Republican event in Atlanta had been rescinded.
Instead, Trump doubled down in characteristic fashion – first by changing the subject, then by lashing out. But I don’t recognize those words, so you know, she was spewing out these words, and I’m sitting there…. But it was no use.
Still more attendees said they are not necessarily Trump supporters but want other candidates and party leaders to take heed of his rise.
Women at the conference were divided on Trump’s disinvitation.
But Renee Duffy was disappointed.
“Trump also slammed “‘politically correct’ fools in our country”, tweeting that “we have to all get back to work and stop wasting time and energy on nonsense!” Nance asked in a statement Saturday morning. “Quit being who everybody wants you to be, and be who you are”, Staver said. “You’re on the side of women”.
Erickson wasn’t the only conservative bashing Trump. The campaign released a scathing statement calling Erickson a “total loser” and reminding the media that Erickson himself had once called first lady Michelle Obama a “Marxist harpy”. Here are a few of his greatest hits from the evening.
Erickson used the event to read aloud some of the hate mail he received, in the video above. “No. Excuse”, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO wrote on Twitter. Those in the audience seemed to waver between amusement and horror. “It’s a standard I try to follow”, Cruz told reporters at the gathering.
In an interview with CNN, Mr Trump said: “She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions”.
