RedState leader: 'I don't want my daughter in the room with Donald Trump'
CNN ^ | 8/8/15 | Thomas Lake

On Saturday morning at his annual RedState Gathering, one of the nation's most influential conservatives took the stage to deliver news that could change the course of the presidential race.

"If you haven't heard," the radio host and blogger Erick Erickson told his guests, "I disinvited Donald Trump."

Loud cheers filled the ballroom, along with several boos. Conservatives from around the Southeast had converged on the InterContinental Hotel for a two-day conference with scheduled appearances by 10 Republican presidential candidates. As it turned out, they would see only nine.

"Just so you have the context, let's roll the video," Erickson said.

Trump's face appeared on two massive video screens flanking the stage. He'd been asked on CNN about Thursday night's Republican presidential debate, when Fox News host Megyn Kelly pressed him about his history of offensive comments to women. By Trump's reckoning, the questions were evidence of an anti-Trump bias -- and perhaps something else.

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," he told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "Blood coming out of her wherever."

After playing the video, Erickson continued his explanation. He said Trump had crossed a line by implying that a female journalist's tough questions were attributable to her menstrual period.

"I don't want my daughter in the room with Donald Trump tonight, so he's not invited," Erickson said. "If our standard-bearer has to resort to that, then we need a new standard-bearer." (more at site)

The other day, I went to redstate and found the “contact us” link (bottom of long page) so I could send them an “Erik is an idiot” email....

Exactly. Here was a guy professing to be a conservative spreading an obvious vulgar falsehood about a man to destroy him.

Conservatives don’t do that.

We’ve had a potholder for YEARS with those words:
‘GET A ROUND TUIT’
It was bought at the Farmer’s Market on Fairfax in Los Angeles.
