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I have rescinded my invitation to Mr.Trump.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.”

He sold himself to FOX News. I am sure he was directed to disinvite Trump because he takes money from FOX. They all stick together.

He was probably promised something for his services.

I’m sure he’s headed to one of them or to one of their PACs. Which is good since his idiocy will only help conservatives.

Some photoshop handy Freeper should do a pic with he and the other Pied pipers of ‘conservative media’ leading the rats out of the conservative movement down a yellow brick road to the GOP OZ.

I’m surprised. I’d have thought he’d go straight to the halls of power.

Well Fox is a leftist network so he’ll feel at home.

The other candidates should not bother attending. It’s kind of ridiculous to not include the top candidate in the polls. The first event was laughable, without Trump, and it wasn’t because he couldn’t attend because they had video feeds with three who couldn’t make it.

Trump can’t win the presidency with personal insults and crude statements. He has some diehard supporters but he no longer has a campaign. Trump for President is dead.

FOX NEWS ‘TRYING TO TAKE OUT TRUMP’ FOR GOP ESTABLISHMENT

It's Megyn Kelly's RNC FOXY News Network. The audience tunes in to gawk at Ms. Kelly.

They couldn't care less about the issues. She gets rating boosts and standing ovations just walking around the studio.

Wow, the louder you yell at your opponent the more it shows that you are losing the debate.

When President Harry Truman picked up his “Washington Post” early on December 6, 1950, to read a review of his daughter Margaret Truman’s singing performance, he was livid. Though conceding that Miss Truman was “extremely attractive,” Paul Hume, the “Post’s” music critic, stated bluntly that “Miss Truman cannot sing very well” and “has not improved” over the years. The president wrote the following letter to the 34-year old Hume, whom he compared to the columnist Westbrook Pegler (”a rat,” in Truman’s view).

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

Mr Hume:

I’ve just read your lousy review of Margaret’s concert. I’ve come to the conclusion that you are an “eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay.”

It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you’re off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.

Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!

Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you’ll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.

H.S.T.

I would like to see how much of Jeb Bush’s money is going to Townhall (Guy Benson, Katie Pavlich and others there), Redstate (Erickson), along with the usual fellows like Byron York and Jonah Goldberg.

Erickson and Megyn Kelly are both cunts of the highest order. That is all.

Pretty good rant on wimpy beta males on today’s Cigar Dave show! Stuck it good to Gyno-American Megan.
