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 I just watched the CBS Evening news and they went on and on about the attack, the Red State withdrawn invitation, and the condemnation of Trump by his fellow candidates.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.
Yes he is being condemned for something he did not say. But even if he did mean it, it is nothing.
Remember the endless talk about a W commercial that the democrats said was Bush 43 sending subliminal messages calling democrats “RATS”? This sort of nonsense has some precedent. It is a huge waste of valuable time.
