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.

Carson not invited, either? OMG, what a terrible decision. Now we’ll see the racism condemnation explode against the GOP.
So you’re telling me that Cruz and/or his staff had no idea this occurred, in this high tech communication age where NOTHING is that secure? Really??? So ANY monies donated to Ted Cruz via a SuperPac could end up going to say, Hillary??
it is a phrase that has been used in a few songs. They can be found with a google search. It is the “blood coming from wherever” that led to the pms possibility. I still say so what.
the myopic twit who couldn’t find his way out of a taco bell?
Yes he is being condemned for something he did not say. But even if he did mean it, it is nothing.
Remember the endless talk about a W commercial that the democrats said was Bush 43 sending subliminal messages calling democrats “RATS”? This sort of nonsense has some precedent. It is a huge waste of valuable time.
Took less time than I thought for the expected Trump fan's response, and it was exactly what I thought it would be.
Cruz has been fighting since his days as solicitor general of Texas. It's what he does. And his fighting doesn't consist of hanging out on Twitter and yelling about kicking someone's a##.
You know, things have become really pathetic when a low-info type tries to tear down a solid Constitutional conservative to try and prop up his reality-show hero.
I for one despise Chris Christie and this is one of the reasons. Remember Bridgegate? During the ruckus someone approached Christie and said “so & so (involved in this) was a high school classmate of yours” , what do you have to say to that Gov Christie?”. Christie vehemently replied “I don’t know that guy personally..... he was just somebody in my high school- I was the Class President, I was the football star”- .
I then realized CC was carrying around a shit load of useless ego and had not adjusted his mental filters in the employ of his job as Gov. And filters he does need!. But more so, all that slap-happy body language with Obama during the Hurricane visit was too much to digest.
I’ve never trusted CC to tell the truth at any time but Bridgegate topped it all. He is a 1stClass Liar. When he was on stage at the debates he was double-speaking , too-using canned phrases. He never should have gotten beyond a PTA President. He’s disgusting.
He didn't say it, but even if he meant it? Are we supposed to be mind readers? It should end there.
Now if you mean that he shouldn't be condemned if he actually said that Kelly's bitchy attitude was due to having her period, then I would disagree with you. He would be doing the same thing to her that the MSM is doing to him, i.e., imputing something that he has no way of verifying. It would also be a very stupid thing to say as a candidate.
Bush is not even a neocon, just a liberal Republican.
JUMP all you want....your not going anywhere....the Trumpster is back and some of are right behind him and we are going to roll with him.....
WOOOOHOOOO!!!!
So who's ahead?
Trump.
And at this point in 2012, it looked like Rick Perry was going to sweep into the White House.
Thanks, couldn't resist.
When did Perry EVER have the spread Trump has?
Good point and Perry never had the money or the name recognition to play the game Trump’s playing.
Fox News thinks they need more ratings by bringing in the liberal crowd..they are in the tank for Jeb Bush, have been that way since day 1..they think they knock off Trump, they knock off Cruz and everyone else, all they will have left is Jeb Bush. I wish that Greta Van Susteran had moderated the debate, at least she is FAIR..she does vote Dem and she did support Hillary Clinton in 2008 but what I respect about Greta is that she is tough, on BOTH SIDES, she isn’t partisan, she plays it down the middle..and her hubby is good friends with the Palin family(Greta’s hubby is still recovering from his quadruple bypass surgery). I think if Greta had moderated the debate she would have done a much better job and wouldn’t have allowed this War on Women BS to be asked
Oh and as far as asking everyone at the beginning “Will everyone here pledge to support the GOP nominee no matter who he is” seriously, what a stupid question, I wonder if Rand Paul would endorse Chris Christie if he were the nominee, or vise versa, probably not. Those two hate each other we all saw that during the debate. But they didnt raise their hand, Trump made the mistake of raising his hand and saying he isn’t promising anything. I bet half the people on that stage wouldn’t support the other if they didnt get the nomination
You’re right on every count.
I was amazed when Rand Paul jumped on Trump for not taking the pledge..LOL.
His father used the GOP debates and then ran under his Libertarian brand.
Greta should be a moderator, same goes for O’Reilly, given they pose so-called “tough questions.” At least BOR would insult all candidates and Greta would be “fair and balanced.”
The last poll I saw from a couple of days ago had Trump at 24%. At one point, Perry was at 29%.
I’m telling you what federal law says. You can interpret it 10,000 ways to Sunday, if you want to.
