Trump gets backlash for slamming TV anchor popular with GOP

Belittle Trump’s claim to be a truth-teller by arguing that self-promotion is the billionaire’s guiding philosophy. Trump tried to laugh off the onslaught by interjecting, “Only Rosie O’Donnell”, but Kelly was relentless. “And”, she added, “they want everyone to fall in line”.

Conservative activists who attended the Red State Gathering said they agreed with the decision to cancel Trump’s speaking engagement.

Trump dug in his heels yesterday on the morning news shows, dismissing the uproar over his comment suggesting Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly was menstruating during the GOP debate last week.

“I was an underdog against (former Florida Gov.) Charlie Crist and I was trailing by 40 points in the polls“, he said.

“I was proud to have played a role in the launch of your presidential campaign”, his email said. “Maybe it’s because I hadn’t given money to the foundation or donated to his wife’s senate campaign”.

Trump went on to clarify his statement, saying “blood coming out of her wherever” was meant to refer to Kelly’s nose. Angry over what he considered unfair treatment at the debate, Trump told CNN on Friday night that Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”.

In an interview with the paper, Erickson said that Trump was originally schedules to speak at the RedState gathering today at the College Football Hall of Fame.

Don Lemon interviewed Trump about the debate, and The Donald made more sexist comments about Kelly. “And when you’re negative on women’s health, you can forget about it”, Trump said.

During last week’s debate, when she was asked whether Trump had gotten the best of the rest of the GOP field thus far, she snarked, “I didn’t get a phone call from Bill Clinton before I jumped in the race. I don’t think vulgarity equates to insight”.

An early tense trade discovered her urgent Trump on his historical past of calling “ladies you do not like ‘fats pigs, canine, slobs, and disgusting animals, ‘” with Trump firing again, “What I say is what I say”.

“Our audience, though it’s a vast audience, it’s diverse”, Marlow said, “it is largely conservative grassroots”. “That’s all I’ll do all day”. “I have no idea what his real philosophy is, other than that he is for promoting himself”. “Do we want to insult 53 percent of all voters?” the former Florida governor asked.

Some other candidates have at least tacitly acknowledged the tightrope they must walk with Trump’s supporters.

“I just realized that if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache”.

Recalling the exchange on ABC’s “This Week”, Trump said the question was “very, very nasty” but he appeared to take comfort in the audience’s reaction to his retort. Marco Rubio also spoke Friday at RedState.

WERTHEIMER: Thank you. First of all, let’s listen to what Donald Trump said on the cable show “CNN Tonight”.

The back-and-forth over Stone, who provided CNN with what he said was his resignation letter as Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski insisted that Trump’s team never saw the letter, highlighted the campaign’s seeming lack of veteran political advisers. On Sunday, he took a more measured approach.

On “Face the Nation” Fiorina said that woman “are really sort of horrified” by Trump’s comments on Kelly.

Primary voters were also asked what they thought of Trump’s hint that he would run as an independent were he not to win the Republican nomination.

“Only a deviant would think that”.

“In no way do I advocate saying mean things about people“.

Kelly’s most up-to-date showcase was alongside fellow Fox Information colleagues Bret Baier and Chris Wallace moderating Thursday’s debate with Trump, the present Republican presidential front-runner, and 9 different contenders.
