Prominent sexist Erick Erickson says Donald Trump’s sexism has no place in the GOP
Vox ^ | August 8, 2015 | Max Fisher

Late on Friday, Erick Erickson, who is a Fox News contributor and editor of the conservative blog network RedState, announced that he was uninviting Donald Trump from RedState's annual conference of GOP leaders.

The reason, Erickson said, was Trump's overtly sexist comments to Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who had moderated the recent GOP primary debate. "As much as I do personally like Donald Trump, his comment about Megyn Kelly on CNN is a bridge too far for me," he wrote. "There are just real lines of decency a person running for President should not cross."

This would seem like a good sign: finally, the Republican party is drawing some sort of line for acceptable discourse, past which misogyny is not permitted. Except that it's hard to believe that this is actually what's going on here, that this is really about sexism or "decency" at all, given that Erickson himself has a long history of overt sexism that is every bit as bad as Trump's, if not worse.

Here are a few tweets from Erickson, the conservative movement leader and Fox News contributor who wants us to believe he has rejected Trump's sexism....

rabid, deranged liberal Ezra Klein’s website is no place to gather information on a republican primary election. it’s certainly not a worthy source for FR. the powers that be should ban the site.

. . . and you do this crap all the time.

I know! Isn't it hilarious that people are looking to that blowhard Donald Trump as some kind of conservative movement leader? hahahaahahah.

Oh wait. We're talking about different faux-conservative blowhards aren't we? My mistake.

Trump said something about a snarky woman who dresses like a street walker that’s being taken as sexist. Erickson says a person running for president shouldn’t do that. Does he remember a sitting president using a cigar for a sex toy on an intern?

I’m no Trump follower, but is Erick Erickson at 30% or more in the polls?

If the information is accurate, why do you want to be shielded from it?

Good God. If you're willing to defend lying socialist pig Ezra Klein in order to defend Donald Trump, then you're truly lost.

You didn’t explain why you want to be sheltered from information and Erikson. Instead of blaming the messenger, why don’t you just avert your delicate gaze, if you can’t handle difficult truths.

Well next time he (might be) a Rush fill-in-host... I’ll be doing something else or listening to someone else.

What a thin skinned wannabe conservative

Erickson is not too bright.

With his background of asinine statements, it was career suicide to suddenly become the moral arbiter over an innuendo (not even a statement).

Johnny is smearing Trump Because he supports the Koch Boys sock puppet Scotty Walker.

Johnny want the same DC elites and RNC Billionaires to stay in power .
Trump is a threat to the DC power elite
But he calls himself a conservative.

Too funny
