Trump defends comments on Fox News anchor Kelly
WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump’s turbulent relationship with Fox News showed signs of improvement Monday even as Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton seized on the billionaire businessman’s clash with the network to cast his Republican rivals as being bad for women.
Kelly’s latest showcase was joining fellow Fox News colleagues Bret Baier and Chris Wallace to moderate Thursday’s debate with Trump, the current GOP presidential front-runner, and nine other contenders.
“There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her – wherever”, Trump recalled of Kelly on CNN.
Donald Trump thinks Megyn Kelly should be apologizing to him for asking a “stupid” and “unfair” question.
“Blood coming out of her wherever”, leading critics to say Trump was referring to Kelly’s menstrual cycle. “But if I finished it, I was going to say “ears or nose“, because that’s a common statement”.
Nevertheless, the poll – the first since Trump’s controversial performance at last week’s Fox News debate – suggests that the magnate’s first-place status has not taken a hit after his highly discussed spat with moderator Megyn Kelly.
“Perhaps one of the biggest factors in Thursday’s viewership was the participation of the outspoken Donald Trump, who Obama-Clinton-each-other-in-first-2016-debate-Trump-takes-spotlight/3441438917501/?spt=sec∨tn” target=”_blank”>delivered numerous barbs during the debate. Instead, he said the American people were winners because they had an opportunity to see candidates with diverse backgrounds answer questions and spell out their vision for the future. “If I wasn’t on the show, they would have had 2 million”.
Afterward, Frank Luntz hosted a panel of Fox News viewers who gave Trump disapproving grades for his performance. John McCain, R-Ariz., was under fire for his CNN remarks.
Lead the charge, if you’re the sole woman in the Republicans’ White House race and trying to crack the top tier for the next debate, by questioning Trump’s ability to withstand the pressure of the presidency. “I really said nothing, because I wanted to get on to jobs and whatever the next subject was”, Trump said. But I haven’t been wrong. But I haven’t been wrong.
“I just don’t want to be negative” he said on CNN.
O’Donnell, who was clearly tuned into the debate, responded almost immediately via Twitter – and then, presumably, dropped the mic. It also got him disinvited from a conservative gathering in Atlanta on Saturday.
“There is no truth to this report and no change from what Mr. Trump has previously said”, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said Monday. Marco Rubio and Cruz. It was, so I’m sitting there thinking, I thought this is what we as Republicans were trying to avoid. “I think our role is to run for president“, said former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
The only complaints came from two candidates who insisted that Trump hadn’t given them any money.
These are the varied approaches of the other 16 Republican candidates fighting for attention and breathing room in a primary field eclipsed by Trump.
“The language that he is using is absolutely inappropriate, not just for the presidential campaign, it’s inappropriate, period”, Walker said. “When he’s free form, uninterrupted, when he can do the flight of ideas, when he can go on on his own and ramble – he’s entertaining”, Krauthammer says during his appearance on “The Kelly File” on Friday (Aug. 8).
