Erick Erickson Disinvites Trump From Red State Gathering Over Megyn Kelly Insults
The Daily Caller ^ | Saturday, August 8, 2015 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 08/07/2015 10:46:29 PM PDT by kristinn

Red State’s Erick Erickson dis-invited GOP presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump after he insulted Fox News anchor and Thursday night’s debate moderator Megyn Kelly during a CNN interview Friday night.

I have rescinded my invitation to Mr.Trump. While I have tried to give him great latitude, his remark about Megyn Kelly was a bridge too far — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 8, 2015

“Well I just don’t respect her as a journalist. I have no respect for her. I think she’s highly overrated. But when I came out there what was I doing I’m not getting paid for this. I go out there. And you know they start saying lift up. And you know I didn’t know there would be 24 million people I figured but I knew it was going to be a big crowd because I get big crowds I get ratings they call me the ratings machine so I have you know she she gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions,” Trump said to CNN’s Don Lemon.

He went further saying, “And you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes blood coming out of her — whatever. She was in my opinion — she was off-base. And by the way, not in my opinion, in the opinion of hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter because it has been a brutal day. In one way a great day for Fox. in another day in the Twitter sphere it’s been very bad because she’s been very badly criticized. She’s a lightweight. I couldn’t care less about her.”

Just what I want out of my President, how about you?

Trump's not my candidate.

But it has nothing to do with the lies that are coming from the left, the RINOs and the media.

I watched a video a few months ago, and she was being interviewed by a female from one of the networks in a comfortable looking setting. Don’t remember which one. The interviewer equated Fiorini’s position with pro-choice. Fiorni went on without correcting her.

I wish I could find it again. They then went on to all the other issues, and she pretty much gave the same campaign answers she’s giving now.

But, honestly, I don’t like her “support Kelly” position.

She seems to be trying to avoid addressing the issue, which would make sense from a tactical perspective, given that she is running as a Republican. However, imho, it is wrong to mislead potential voters, no matter how deftly.

What if Donald had actually said “she was obviously on the rag”?

So what? That’s kind of the point isn’t it? She can make up all kinds if ridiculous accusations that he is a misogynist but it’s completely off limits for him to point out that women are insane once a month?

Is it “presidential”? No, but neither are foreign born communist Muslims. I’m sick of politician duckspeak anyway.

Carly has a big mouth. Ooops, did I write something sexist?

This is a campaign. It’s all talk from candidates as far as I am concerned.

What matters is what they DO. Look no farther than the phony GOPe effort to “defund” PP. They have no intention of ever doing that but are happy to give us kabuki on the issue. Carly is doing the same in her campaign, IMO.

Thanks, having listened to the audio, what Trump said is open to interpretation. It is Red States’s conclusion that is getting all the air time.

Before giving out further misinformation, please watch this, you will understand what I'm saying and cheer. She is a warrior for conservatism, and a good one. We don't need to go circular firing squad on her, she is every bit as good a defender of conservatism and a destroyer of the media as Cruz: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3321887/posts

It is not anything. Thewas so evil that he is saying she had blood coming out of her eyes and “what ever”. Where do you distort that to a womens issue? outrageous distortion!! ? His contexxt is her HATRED. her vitriol. “she had” blood coming out of her eyes and what ever” Who is eric ericson. Is he that english immigrate on Rush, when they can’t get any body else? You talk about a non event!!
What we have is the desperation of smeartactic by the RINO establishment. It is driving many millions more into the Trump camp. It is not working. It didn’t work two weeks ago and it isn’t working today.MOVE ON.
What was this “bush whack” question by brett bayer? “ Who reserves the right to go third party? Donald Trump has said for a month that if he was treated poorly by rinse penis and karl rove And the candidate could not lead us back to a great nation he would leave. SO WHAT? and so will millions of like we did the last two elections.What a cheap bs question that was. I’m telling you it is solidifying the huge Trump base. Just keep it up!!~

I use Trump's own words, and not just about Megyn Kelly. That's why he's not my candidate and never will be.

According to the post you provided, all she said was that she disagreed with liberals that “it was not a life until it left the hospital”

That does not refute what I posted.

” blood coming out of her eyes - wherever”

Trump twitted this? Really he said this?

If so, he needs to schedule an operation with Dr. Ben Carson to remove his ass from his brain.

Being President is a lot tougher than a few questions on TV by a little pretty blonde being rude to you.

Trump continues to hit solo home runs then strike out and commit errors on purpose. You only do that if you want to look good while you throw the game.

I will be very pleased if Rush uses this occasion to stop using Erickson for a replacement in his absence. I have disliked Erickson's delivery and apeing of Rush and always turn the dial when he is on. As to the present Megyn Kelly controversy, I fail to see how the Trump use of the word ‘whatever’ extrapulates to mean her menstrual function. Unless Kelly told him that is what she thinks.
