Embattled Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hit back on Sunday at critics who say he went too far with caustic comments about a U.S. television news anchor, insisting no apology was necessary and defending his relations with women.
Trump is under fire for criticizing Fox anchor Megyn Kelly during and after a Republican debate on Thursday. Asked about Kelly in a CNN interview on Friday, Trump said: "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."
The real estate mogul and television personality, who remains ahead of his 16 rivals in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, appeared on Sunday news shows to rebut the outrage triggered by his off-the-cuff talk.

Well, now we know the first round of morons who have outed themselves.
This makes them look so stupid and petty.
Walker should not have been on that list, but he is being advised by GOP-E insiders in his campaign. He needs to not listen to those losers.
Everyone else I would not vote for anyway.
Who is that? John Wayne I suppose?
You noticed. Thank you.
On Sunday, he attacked Fiorina on several shows as a failed executive who got fired, then lost a bid for the U.S. Senate by a landslide.
He lashed out at Bush as being "negative on women's health" for his recent comments on funding for women's health programs that drew immediate condemnation from Democrat Hillary Clinton.
He took credit for Fox News' record ratings of 24 million viewers for the prime-time debate, saying of Bush: "The man has no energy."
Trump dismissed his critics as beholden to political correctness and pointed to the opinion polls as proof that he was "winning big all over the place"."
Well, can't argue with those points either. Match:Trump.
Because the insipid interviewers make it the subject.
Trump should say what he means and mean what he says that way he won’t be leaving an opening for his enemies to rush in and give their own interpretation.
You said he is in the lead. Have there been post debate polls? I have missed then.
And I’ll bet Trump cherishes women in all 57 states.
I agree.
He was doing fine on his own and Fox/Kelly were losing ground. He should have stopped when he was ahead.
Aww, cry me a river.
“Embattled Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump “
Says who?
How about “Republican front runner Donald Trump”?
Why should he put it to rest - he is dominating the discussion and growing in popularity. In so doing he is unmasking the phonies on the Right as well as the Left. He is doing a great public service responding to all the frauds.
I am not sure what your point is.
The natural born thing has been a hornet’s nest.
Jindal is a 14th Amendment baby, and Jindal thinks he is eligible to be President.
The way I learned it in school is similar to Trump—born in country of citizen parents.
My mother was not a citizen when I was born, so I grew up thinking I could not be President—only had one citizen parent.
Obama transformed that one, and now anything goes.
If it is any consolation to you, I have sent two contributions to Cruz.
I don’t care if he was born on the moon, the man is the best candidate we have.
And after Trump, Cruz will be the next target of the GOP-E that must be destroyed.
The Hunger Games are just getting started.
And Trump is fighting back in a way that is exposing the whole corrupt GOP-E.
Trump: "TinMouth, REQUEST DENIED! I'd tell you YOU'RE FIRED but you don't have a job!"
LOL
Kelly was throwing him hard balls, he hit them out of the park. He should have thanked her for a good workout since this is toughening him up for what the dems will throw at him later.
He is the Front Runner. The Front Runner gets hit the hardest. If he wasn’t the only one with the guts to go after China and Mexico, he’d be just a spoiled rich bully billionare ....so Mr. T, I am forced to vote for you....till someone else shows guts enough and starts saying what you are saying.
Megyn and others were out for blood in the "debate," especially Trump.
I took Trump's response in that context, although I pondered why he said it the way he did. He was referring to two of the "hosts," a male and a female.
Fox clearly had an axe to grind in connection with Trump.
Donald clearly is the ELEPHANT in the room.
If Trump's numbers were plummeting it would be on the news 24/7.
The fact that we are not hearing a peep speaks volumes.
