GOP Candidates Jump on Bandwagon to Criticize Trump
Breitbart ^ | 8 Aug 2015 | Sarah Rumpf

Posted on 08/08/2015 2:48:32 PM PDT by Red Steel

Trump was unhappy with some of the questions Kelly asked him when she moderated Thursday evening’s GOP Debate and posted a series of aggressive tweets through the wee hours Friday morning. Then, as Breitbart News reported, in a Friday evening appearance on CNN Tonight, Trump said that Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.” Many interpreted this comment as inappropriate or even sexist.

Fiorina, the only female among the Republican presidential candidates, was the first to criticize Trump’s comments, tweeting that there was “no excuse” for what Trump said and that she stood with Kelly. Pataki tweeted that the “outrage” at his fellow New Yorker was “long overdue” and called it a “sad but predictable meltdown from Trump.”

Late Friday, RedState Editor-in-Chief Erick Erickson disinvited Trump from the RedState Gathering, currently taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. Erickson praised Trump for being a “blunt talker” who “connects with so much of the anger of the Republican base” but said that his “inappropriate” comment had crossed “real lines of decency.”

Trump fired back with a statement of his own, calling Erickson a “total loser,” and tweeting, “Political correctness is killing our country.” He also claimed that he meant blood coming out of Kelly’s nose.

Many were not buying Trump’s belated excuse, including Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, as well as more of the Republican presidential candidates. Beginning on Saturday morning, several others joined the “Shame on Trump” bandwagon, similar to how they had denounced his previous controversial attacks on and his time as a POW during the Vietnam War.

Obama has destroyed our country in six years+ and not ONE of these people have EVER made half the fuss over him that they are making over Trump. Pretty telling. They are either cowards or in bed with the Dems.

He’s still to the right of Trey Gowdy aka Trey Gomez(R- SC) on immigration.

One of the few Republicans for most of 2013 to condemn amnesty.

Sessions, Vitter and Steve King were the only ones you knew for sure were against amnesty.

My views are changing on this. I think the other candidates are 100% right! Trump is out of line and outta control!

You go, girls! Let’s have a pile on. Be sure to drive DT out of the race for the gop nomination.

Oh, just one teensy, weensy little detail. He’ll go second party. But that’s A-OK! go for it!

I DESPISE Erickson. Why are people still going to his events. He is a money-grubbing loser cuckservative like Glenn Beck. He attacks Trump to prop up Rubio and then piles on Carson for no reason! GO TO HELL, ERICKSON!

You do understand that under federal law, a candidate does not control and cannot even communicate with his SuperPACs, right? So that decision was made by someone other than Cruz and his staff.

In a world where Planned Parenthood is selling baby body parts, where 15 year old kids are being given sex change operations against their parents wishes, where tiny tots are being given to homosexuals to raise, where 60 year old past olympians are saying “I am Cait,” where two women without the body parts to be joined together are being pronounced joined together, where Christians are being fined 150,000 dollars for trying to live by their convictions and being told to SHUT UP, where pornography is widely consumed and even regular TV absent broadcast standards and practices is nearly unwatchable, where the great “freedom” push of the hour is about legalizing street drugs, where the White House is being lit up in homo-rainbow colors, where the president is befriending Cuba and Iran but making enemies with Israel......etc.....why is the major news story all about Trump suggesting Megyn’s rudeness might have been that she was out for blood due to the mood swings of PMS?

Boehner, Gowdy, Goodlatte, Rand Paul, McConnell and enough Republicans will block any serious enforcement bill getting to Trump’s desk.

These people are so silly. This reminds me of Palin's so called "targeting" democrats after Gabby Giffords was shot. Remember when all the liberals were accusing Palin of attempted murder of democrats because of this poster?

Now. even Republicans are dumping on Trump. It's pathetic.

There is a hidden Zuckerberg/Soros funding angle to Rubio and Jeb’s campaigns nobody is looking into. Why was Zukerberg PARTNERING with Fox for the debate, and hmmmm, somehow Fox decides to try and burn down the candidate driving hardest against amnesty. Coincidence? YEAH RIGHT!
