Trump was unhappy with some of the questions Kelly asked him when she moderated Thursday evening’s GOP Debate and posted a series of aggressive tweets through the wee hours Friday morning. Then, as Breitbart News reported, in a Friday evening appearance on CNN Tonight, Trump said that Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.” Many interpreted this comment as inappropriate or even sexist.
Fiorina, the only female among the Republican presidential candidates, was the first to criticize Trump’s comments, tweeting that there was “no excuse” for what Trump said and that she stood with Kelly. Pataki tweeted that the “outrage” at his fellow New Yorker was “long overdue” and called it a “sad but predictable meltdown from Trump.”
Late Friday, RedState Editor-in-Chief Erick Erickson disinvited Trump from the RedState Gathering, currently taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. Erickson praised Trump for being a “blunt talker” who “connects with so much of the anger of the Republican base” but said that his “inappropriate” comment had crossed “real lines of decency.”
Trump fired back with a statement of his own, calling Erickson a “total loser,” and tweeting, “Political correctness is killing our country.” He also claimed that he meant blood coming out of Kelly’s nose.
Many were not buying Trump’s belated excuse, including Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, as well as more of the Republican presidential candidates. Beginning on Saturday morning, several others joined the “Shame on Trump” bandwagon, similar to how they had denounced his previous controversial attacks on and his time as a POW during the Vietnam War.

When I heard Trumps comments about Kelly I didnt think ANYTHING about PMS, for goodness sake what logical person would..because he said “Wherever” some people actually concluded he meant the wherever part was her menstrual cycle?? I really dont know where people leap to that kind of thinking, Ive come up with some crazy ideas before when people say stuff but even I wouldn’t think to connect wherever to PMS
GOP circular firing squad, reporting for duty
Yep, like a dog chasing it’s tail. Some things won’t ever change.
All that will be left is Jeb Bush because he has all the money.
You are correct. It was inferred, which was the genius of it. In my opinion anyway.
Another totally manufactured incident by the MSM and a compliant GOPe. What I find most offensive are the comments by the other GOP candidates with a few exceptions. They went along lockstep with the MSM, probably without looking at the 7 minute clip of the interview or waiting until the Trump campaign came out with their statement.
A deviant inference according to Trump.
agree...
here’s what I posted tonite somewhere on Freep...
Yes, Trump is self-centered, yes he can be rude (the other phrase you could use is “politically incorrect”), yes he’s out for himself ( uh, and the other canidates are just Mother Theresa), yes he’s angry, and yes he does throw back punches to those who have been abusive to him or our country.
Now, when you get past all the criticsms of Trump...what you have is the only conservative taking on the media, the RHINO’s, and the Supremes, and throwing “bombs” to get attention to what all the others are so mushy -mouthed about:Illegal Immigration;Christians Heads cut off; etc etc.
Short of Cruz and Carson; Gowdy, Cotton and LTC West..I don’t see a lot other Republicans taking it to Street!
I did not think PMS first either. I thought “she has blood in her eyes” as in “she was out for blood” or “wanted to draw blood.” But the rest of the comment “or wherever” does leave open the pms implication. AND SO WHAT! Don’t most people think something similar when they encounter a crabby woman? Right or wrong, it is what most people think. It is a big fat nothing that is being trumped up into a something just to give cover for excluding Trump.
My interpretation of the deviant comment is that it was a joke. Even it it wasn’t, Trump is a clever man and he is just responding with in-kind replies.
Ive said “I can see blood coming from his eyes” in reference to Obama many times..I use it as a way of describing when someone appears to be out to get you, or someone who is against you..Trump used the same remark against Chris Wallace too, but of course Wallace is a man so the media won’t report on that..this is all about the “War on Women” BS, Megyn Kelly started it, probably got it from Wasserman Schultz, who surprise surprise appeared on her program after the debate to “Give her opinion on the candidates” I had the biggest laugh at that, seriously, your gonna ask the head of the Democratic Party what they think about a GOP debate, gee what do you think she will say/sarc
Yes, they'll definitely try. But if you're familiar at all with Cruz, you know that they won't succeed. Cruz welcomes the fight and coolly takes his opponents apart. He won't get defensive and loud, and start yelling.
I wonder if Cruz has VP ideas for Carly.
Man, he could be a blustering crude clone of Jeb.
Well, except that Little Jebbie will support all of those and open borders too.
I will concentrate on getting rid of left wing ideologues Jeb, Rubio, Christie, Paul, Perry, Graham, and the Huckster before I waste any time at all worrying about a crass populist like Trump.
Because the open borders crowd around the country and especially here at Free Republic is panicking.
That’s why.
"Indeed. Just as in the two past Prez elections, the media takes out those who it fears the most first, until finally the only one left standing is the one they know will lose for sure."
No, not at all. Cruz is far too smart for these media hacks. They'll try, but they won't have much success. He'll go on offense, not defense.
I wondered about that. No thanks to either one.
Thank you for posting that image..having the head of the DNC on right after the debate(With NO rebuttal) pissed me off much more than anything Megyn Kelly said to Donald Trump, that right there..that slime ball, just sitting there going on and on about how much she hates Republicans and hated the debate..did Fox News really think she would say ANYTHING objective..I wonder if CNN after the Democratic Debate will allow the head of the GOP on to discuss their opinion of the debate, I highly doubt it
Buy a clue. Cruz is a baby at media relations. His big play with Mc Connell barely got noticed.
Regardless, the MSM is reporting that Trump was referring to Kelly's menstrual cycle. I just watched the CBS Evening news and they went on and on about the attack, the Red State withdrawn invitation, and the condemnation of Trump by his fellow candidates. They did not read Trump's press release on the issue. However, they did promote Trump's appearance on their Sunday show.
Trump is being condemned for something he didn't say. And they use an edited portion of the interview as evidence as to what Trump meant by those out of context words. They are the ones interpreting what is meant based on their agenda. The simplest and objective way to determine what Trump meant by those remarks is to ask him. Trump responded with what was meant and it is not accepted because they and Carly and Jeb and Rand know what he meant. This is Kafkaesque.
