Brande Roderick Defends Trump: I Don’t Even Remember "Get On Your Knees" Comment

“She choked”

When Bill Hemmer first started at FoxNews, he was paired with Megyn Kelly. She would giggle and snicker throughout the entire broadcast to the extent that it was noticeable and unwatchable. That went on for a few weeks, when the higher ups apparently noticed. They move Kelly to a later show and replaced her with Martha McCallum.

[The_Media_never_lie]

I get the feeling Megyn is not a nice person at all. After last night, I would really enjoy her fall.

The look on her face when she was attacking Trump reminded me of Katy Kouric when she was viciously trying to attack Ted Cruz.

[newfreep]

Posts on her FB page is trashing her....and deservedly so.

Last night was Megyn Kelly’s audition for MSNBC

You really bought into the whole Democrat “War on Women” falsehood, Megyn Kelly. Took you for smarter than that. Sad and disappointed

Incredibly difficult to find the “fair & balanced” during the debate last night. Very, very disappointed!

Fair and balanced? Your dislike for Trump was very evident, very disappointed in you.

Our nation is pushing 20 trillion in debt, Iran is getting nukes, ISIS is chopping off Americans heads and burning people alive in cages, our government is paying an agency to chop up and sell the body parts of aborted babies and YOU are asking a candidate to address an imaginary war on women issue created by the Democratic Party? Shame on you kelly

[JediJones]

Did they dislike Bush for asking him about his brother, Iraq, “pathway to legal status,” common core and whether or not he called Trump an a-hole?

Or do you consider those softballs?

[newfreep]

MK flat out lied by twisting the facts to suit her leftist agenda.

MK....you’re fired!

[mom.mom]

Donald Trump is an equal opportunity insulter. He insults women the same as men.

[newfreep]

Can you give details on the “notice” Levin received from FOX?

[JediJones]

Nonsense. They targetted all the candidates on their worst vulnerabilities. It was an aggressive line of questioning, but it was legitimate preparation for the real debates next year.

[Jedidah]

It was suggestive. Smirky. And entertaining.

Best to deal with it now rather than later. And I’m sure Trump has said much worse — as have all the candidates — but not all on national TV.

[BigEdLB]

As I understand it FOX sent out a lawyer’s notice regarding use of clips from the debate which were more than usual.

[newfreep]

LOL!

You need to get out of the teachers’ lounge and visit reality.

[hotsteppa]

The context was about begging for her job. Nothing sexual and nothing to the extent it should have been brought into a National debate.

[grania]

Not sexual at all. Trump took it as begging to stay on the show.

Guilty pleasure....I watched the show faithfully. There was never anything suggestive or sexual about Trump's contact with women. Just the opposite. He set a very high standard for the way women presented themselves and represented the Trump brand.

I suspect that Trump is doing very well as preferred candidate with real women. And there are more of us than there are femnazis!

[Jedidah]

Come on. You saw the snickers. Of course it was sexual innuendo. Also a non-issue, but a very good moment, because it put Trump on the spot.

If Trump were to win the nomination, you think the Dems won’t dredge up every unfortunate remark he’s made about and to women? And you know, with his mouth, that there are plenty. He better be ready.

I loved the debate last night. I want the contenders to have to think on their feet. I want them challenged. I want to see how they act under pressure and when someone disagrees with them. The last thing I want to watch is a bunch of pros reciting their stump speeches, and for the most part the moderators kept them from doing that.

It’s way too early to be getting your knickers twisted over one of 17 candidates being put on the spot. We’ve got a long way to go. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. I have no favorite candidate and don’t expect to have one for months.

I hope the CNN debate next month is as challenging as the one last night. Nobody made those candidates get on the stage. They asked for the spotlight; let them earn it.

By the way, I actually remember Eisenhower/Stephenson. I watched the 1960 conventions gavel to gavel on black and white TV. Politics used to be fun to watch, but last night was the first time I’ve enjoyed it in years.

[Jedidah]

Indeed.

[hotsteppa]

Again, open for interpretation. It may have put him on the spot but he handled it quite well. I don’t think Trump is too worried about any past remarks they wanna deem as “unfortunate”, as he comes across as more than capable of defending them.

[Democratic-Republican]

"Come on. You saw the snickers. Of course it was sexual innuendo."

Clearly you and Megyn are right, and the whole world is wrong. Puhlease. This is one of the lowest forms of dirty tricks I ever saw. And the beyotch has yet to apologize for it, as she did not for the previous one about Ivana. Face it, this little harpy is after Trump, and because she is a tiny little barbie doll she thinks she has cover. I would rather watch CNN or MSNBC now because of the devil you know. I'll bet the Foxey News team didn't calculate on that.

"By the way, I actually remember Eisenhower/Stephenson. I watched the 1960 conventions gavel to gavel on black and white TV. Politics used to be fun to watch, but last night was the first time I’ve enjoyed it in years."

Maybe it was fun because they did not do the same thing to Adlai Stevenson that they are trying to do to Trump ( and if he wasn't here it would be anyone else except for Bush ). And in the case of Adlai it would NOT have been a dirty trick, but a clear fact ...

"On December 30, 1912, at the age of twelve, Stevenson accidentally killed Ruth Merwin, a 16-year-old friend, while demonstrating drill technique with a rifle, inadvertently left loaded, during a party at the Stevenson home.[10] Stevenson was devastated by the accident and rarely referred to it as an adult. However, in 1955 Stevenson heard about a woman whose son had experienced a similar tragedy. He wrote to her that she should tell her son that "he must live for two", which Stevenson's friends took to be a reference to the shooting incident."

I don't remember them ever going after Stevenson for manslaughter in either of those campaigns. They didn't go after JFK for womanizing. Or LBJ and his Kerry-like war embellishment. Or Clinton for his rape and abuse. Obama and his Islamic-Communist upbringing and his lack of natural born citizenship.

That last one is important because we should remember there was influence at Fox News in mid-2008 by Team Obama through Murdoch to not cover his upbringing. Aftewr that fiasco and the 2012 Romney lovefest and now the 2015 anti-Trump madness people are now really waking up to the fact that Fox News is compromised and is every bit the enemy that ABC-NBC-CBS-CNN-MSNBC are.

The ceaseless defense of them by certain Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers does not change these facts, and actually helps us spread the word wider and farther.

Keep up the good work.

[Democratic-Republican]

Just for the record, Megyn motormouth just ended her show with NO correction or apology. As that "on your knees" dirty trick was completely taken out of context, she has clearly failed as a journalist.

Furthermore, she is allegedly a lawyer and certainly should know enough that she needs to correct that mistake. I suspect this little harpy is a pure affirmative action law degree recipient. There really is no doubt IMHO.

I'll probably never watch her or Fox again myself, but others might want to catch the rerun to see her little drama queen act towards the end of the program. She tells of almost missing the debate because of some illness ( nausea I think ) but was saved thanks to some doctor. And then she acts like a little teenage cheerleader ( physically ).

My opinion: she is a hyper spoiled little brat, handed everything, and now over-compensates to the point of absurdity in order to be able to live with herself and all the trappings of success she can never truly earn. This girl was definitely some poor guy's high-maintenance nightmare in High School. And she still is in High School for all practical purposes.

Why don't they take me seriously?

[unsycophant]

The headline at The Daily Beast is a lie. It states that Trump told girl to drop to her knees. In the body of the text however, they quote him accurately, asking “you dropped to your knees?”.

It’s a shameless lie being told in big bold letters without remorse from The Daily Beast. Man. That’s rotten.

[Balding_Eagle]

I loved the debate last night. I want the contenders to have to think on their feet. I want them challenged. I want to see how they act under pressure and when someone disagrees with them.

I'll wager that last night didn't show how Trump acts during real negotiations. Not even close.

He's a lot smoother, since he is in total control, and far more effective.

During friendly negotiations no one would successfully pull a Megan Kelly on him. I'll bet he's goes into serious attack mode, drawing blood. Kelly was damn lucky he wasn't himself last night.

In negotiations with a real enemy, Iran for example, He would do things that would make the Iranians bitterly regret throwing pens at him, as they successfully did at Kerry.
