Megyn Kelly takes heat as Donald Trump doubles down, refuses to apologize
American Thinker ^ | 08/09/2015 | By M. Catharine Evans

Three days after the GOP debate, the topic on Sunday’s news shows was still Donald Trump vs. Megyn Kelly. Trump refused to apologize for his follow-up comments criticizing Kelly for her “off-base, ridiculous” questions. Kelly countered Trump’s criticism, saying, “If you can’t get past me, how are you gonna handle Vladimir Putin?”

Forget the dismemberment and selling of human beings going on at Planned Parenthood, or the 94 million people out of work, or the Obamas taking off for another vacation with their fat-cat friends on Martha’s Vineyard, or veterans getting the shaft while illegals receive free health care, or Iranian barbarians pocketing $150 billion of our hard-earned money – the media folks were hashing out whether Trump was referring to Kelly’s monthly cycle when he told Don Lemon Friday night, “There was blood coming out of her eyes, and coming out of wherever.”

By now most Americans know that if Donald Trump had meant Megyn Kelly was spewing hatred because it was that time of month, he would have owned it. As he owned calling Rosie O’Donnell a “fat pig.” As usual, the media is controlling the message. It was pretty clear from the Don Lemon interview that Trump’s “blood in her eyes” statement got away from him and the words “and wherever” came out. Trump told Jake Tapper, “Do you think I would make a stupid statement like that? … [O]nly a sick person would even think about it.”

With Trump supporters threatening to boycott Fox News and high-profile conservatives like Mark Levin telling Fox and Kelly to apologize to the American people for their tabloid-style debate, the hosting moderator came out with her own statement. Kelly told Howard Kurtz it wasn’t an attack; the question was fair, and “it’s okay there’s some consternation”; she’s “a big girl.”

Yes, blame the reporters. Do your best to keep The Donald blameless.

And THAT, IMO, is the most telling.

Trump took ‘em to town; everyone else took it...and bent over w/out a whimper of protest.

It wasn’t a DEBATE in any sense of the word. It was trash TV to get ratings and I’m glad DT showed ‘em his @ss; they deserved every word.

There should have been a stronger response to Candy Crowly.

Yes, but it should have been right there on the stage, calling her out for her bias in front of the country.

Waiting until several hours later and tweeting "Candy Crowley is a poo poo head" would not have been very useful.

We’re still more than a year out right now. As they say in Latin America, “están rayando la cancha.” They are putting the lines on the field. Enjoy the momentary fun.

The problem isn’t that Megyn Kelly is on the rag. The problem is that Megyn Kelly is a whore and a rapist. She was paid to rape her own profession, paid to rape the needs of Americans to learn about the candidates, paid to rape the respect Conservatives deserve, and paid to rape the integrity of Donald Trump.

And the bitch took the money and delivered, with a thousand-watt smile.

Does society demand a rape victim apologize for calling out the rapist??? Then why should Trump apologize to Megyn Kelly for calling her out on her attack on Trump??

Rape? Are you serious?

Megan Kelly came to a political debate.

Easily the dumbest statement you have ever made here Nathan, I would expect much more from you because that Turkey Shoot was anything but a debate.

A Turkey shoot is where turkeys are placed behind a short wall and as their head pops up you are free to shoot the Turkey. These sycophants live for the moment to shoot at the turkey but they cheat a little when they interject themselves into the game.

When Chris Wallace tried to goad Trump into attacking, Bush who was next to him, did you think that was a political discussion? It was much more like a school yard brawl where some one dares you to knock the chip off his shoulder.

Color me disappointed Nathan.

Agree 100% and I am NOT a Trump fanboy. Just love the fact he doesn’t grovel and apologize for every perceived PC stupidity.

You know the best part about not making predictions about Trump’s future behavior?

I won’t have to eat my words.

Well, that and not having to wear fan boi knee pads.

The Democrats and the GOP-e were united in trying to make Trump look like this (given the wording of your post, this is especially apt...) :

SNL parody of Jeopardy with Sean Connery
