Rosie responded and then ate some grass

During the Republican debate Thursday night in Ohio, moderator Megyn Kelly called nominee Donald Trump out for misogynistic comments he's made in the past, which included referring to calling women fat pigs and slobs.
Before Kelly could get to her full question, Trump quipped, "Only Rosie O'Donnell."
As laughter died down from the crowd, Kelly pointed out that "for the record, it was well beyond Rosie O'Donnell," to which Trump snickered back, "Yes, I'm sure it was."
So Trump managed to not answer the moderator's question about being disparaging towards women with a disparaging joke.
Kelly continued on, pointing out that Trump has posted negative comments about women's looks on Twitter and has made similar statements on his reality show, Celebrity Apprentice, but the damage had already been done.
According to Trump, all of this just proves that America is too politically correct. "I've been challenged by so many people and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness, and to be honest with you, this country doesn’t have time either," Trump said during the debate.
He never actually answered Kelly's question on if his previous comments were the type of responses fitting for a potential future president, but that's probably because he thought his Rosie joke was a mic drop.
Despite being at the Broadway premiere of the musical Hamilton, O'Donnell responded quickly. "Try explaining that 2 ur kids," she wrote on Twitter, less than 20 minutes after Trump's initial comments.

O'Donnell didn't go into depth about Trump's comments, but there's always time for that.
O'Donnell and Trump have a rocky history. Back in 2011, the pair launched a Twitter feud, sparked by Trump's comments about O'Donnell's engagement to partner Michelle Rounds.

Can you imagine growing up being her kid? That about sums up hell on earth.
What Trump said was really, really mild compared to what her ex said about her in the tabloids.
RE: really mild compared to what her ex said about her in the tabloids.
Is her ex male or female?
“Is her ex male or female?”
I think you mean butch or femme
What Trump should say is that he insults men he doesn’t like, too. So the real question is, why do feminist women want to be treated differently, and even more, why do they think the insult is different if it is made towards women, rather than men, if both sexes are truly equal?
(That’s a hint, Donald)
Comparing Rosie O’Donnell to fat pigs and slobs is an insult to fat pigs and slobs.
Oh like Clinton & other presidents never made fun of fat woman!
RE: Oh like Clinton & other presidents never made fun of fat woman!
Can you cite a few examples....
If You’re talking about Bill Clinton, he doesn’t make fun of them, he HAS FUN with them.
IIRC she made a comment that he ended up joining the military.
Bullcrap. He answered it.
He said that Kelly and others may not have liked those comments but they were likely said in jest and if she didn't like it...too bad.
Which was really the proper answer. I'm just happy to see someone come out and say it. Very refreshing.
+1. Good response.
One thing I really do like about Donald.....He ain’t scared of the media. He seems to tell it like he sees it.
I hate political correctness.
Not sure, didn't lift up the tail flap to see. But, in any case, Rosie's sex life an habits were plastered all over. And that is something she should have to be worried about explaining to her kids.
