Republicans across the party’s wide political spectrum, increasingly worried about the GOP’s ability to appeal to women voters, pointedly criticized Donald Trump on Saturday for comments that appeared to suggest Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly questioned him forcefully during Thursday’s debate because she was menstruating.
Even in today’s rough and tumble politics, where a premium is placed on extreme language and biting discourse, some saw Trump’s latest rhetorical fusillade as vaulting past tolerable limits, even for a candidate who says he doesn’t have the time or inclination to be politically correct.
Rivals for the Republican presidential nomination and other party figures said he should apologize, or even withdraw from the race.
Erick Erickson, the organizer of a large conservative gathering in Atlanta, canceled Trump’s speaking engagement there on Saturday, bringing about a bitter back and forth with Trump. The only woman running for the party’s nomination, Carly Fiorina, said she stood by Kelly and wrote pointedly on Twitter: “Mr. Trump: There. Is. No Excuse.”
Senator Lindsey Graham was even more forceful, saying that Trump was spreading “hate speech,” and that the very future of conservatism would be at stake if his rhetoric is not forcefully rejected.

He said the same thing about Chris Wallace...so he obviously isn't referring to menstrual cycles.
In fact, Trump made it quite clear he was talking about anger.
exactly
GOP-e on Trump:
“hey guys, the illegal aliens statements didn’t work. Let’s try the women angle!”
Why is The Hildebeast so silent? Shouldn’t the head of the Bimbo Eruption Squad be heard from?
The candidates are afraid of Trump. They know they will be attacked sooner or latter on the sad lies and actions of all the group except Cruz and Forina. Attacking now and these losers will soon see Trump pass them so far by the American people that some will drop out. Trump is a man of action, not like the sick good for nothing GOP and communists Democrats.
“Better go put some ice on that.”
“Kiss it.”

And it’s going to backfire.
Why should Hilde waste ammo on Trump? The GOPe circular firing squad is doing the nasty deed
Every single comment spreading this lie about trump renders these people unfit as candidates
Focus on those holding fire
Cruz Rubio Carson
When the Hildebeast's husband was going around biting women lips and telling them they better go put some ice on it and dropping his trousers his front of them and tell them to "kiss it" and denying he fondled a friend's widow on the grounds that her breasts are too small, there was no such consternation.
In fact, they circled the wagons around him.
Hell, they didn't even flinch when it was learned that Hitlery herself was the head of the Bimbo Eruption Squad whose mission it was to seek out and destroy any of Bill's victims.
Go to hell, Men Seeking Men mediums! Go! To! Hell!
And stay there!
I heard Trump on Meet the Press, and he said PC tactics obscure the real issues, and he’s absolutely, positively, 100% right!
We need this man in the White House!
Far left hyperbole and Democratic “war against women” and faux “hate speech” talking points anyone?
And Miss Less Than One Percent still doesn't get why she is still less than one percent. She never will.
I think it will hurt Jeb the most.
Can you show me where he said the same thing about Chris Wallace? Thats interesting! Thanks
It is clear to mfter his appearances this morning that he is in “to the hilt” When he stars his advertising and media buys they are all toast. Go Trump. Standing firm for America.
You notice Megyn Kelly has not responded at all. She should come out and say “everyone relax”. As a woman I knew exactly what Trump was saying. It is Erick, whose mind went into the gutter. Megyn Kelly always said she can defend herself, she doesn’t need some guy defending her. Why is she so quiet this weekend?
Hope Trump has an event in Atlanta. The crowd will be enormous. and put Erick in his place....
The pubbies using Alinsky on one of their own but afraid to use it on the Muslim Marxist at 1600. Sic 'em Donald!
