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.

Fighting words. That's what Trump was using, and rightfully so since Megan's question had nothing to do with the existential issues facing our country but were a direct attack on him personally.
I just assumed Trump was referring to some other part of her face like her ears or her nose or her mouth.
Like a Berserker screaming into battle. That's the first thing I thought of when I heard it.
But the GOP-wing of the Democrat party went straight from a woman's face to her private parts.
I wonder why that would be?
Why is he STILL talking about it?
I want democrats to apologize for bankrupting the country.
I want democrats to apologize for allowing our country to be overrun with illegals.
Totally agree!
Megyn has a chance to calm the waters and say she’s big enough to absorb the discharge.
Note use of the 'embattled' descriptor. They want to characterize him as being on the defensive. More lies from the media.
(MEOW !!!)
Because, duh, they keep asking him about it!!!
And that is why Trump stay in the lead: he never apologizes. If he apologized, they would be able to tear him to shreds.
But why?
Cant’ Trump people admit that it was Trump keeping this thing alive? He should have said “what we discussed was in the past” now lets move on. But he can’t.
This
Defense is an awful weak position to play for days on end
If he doesn't apologize for anything, I don't see him being stopped by anything other than a bullet, which is a definite possibility with the DC cabal.
Do you have a brick between your ears or something? He keeps getting asked about it.
Right, we know he cherishes women. Why does he feel the need to keep it going?
Donald, ENOUGH already.
Same reason you are.
It wouldn’t be an issue if Trump didn’t mention the blood comments...
I know it is hard for you and others to understand, but he could have put this to rest awhile ago.
Ivanka needs to have a talk with dear old dad
It’s OK to not have the last word
Really
Personally, I’m sick of the whole discussion and you!
Nice one.
