My memory on that point could be faulty.
But it doesn’t absolve the generalization issue, where comments directed at a single individual were described as generalized.
KELLY: Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you dont use a politicians filter. However, that is not without its downsides, in particular, when it comes to women.
Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.
(LAUGHTER)
Your Twitter account
TRUMP: Only Rosie ODonnell.
(LAUGHTER)
KELLY: No, it wasnt.
(APPLAUSE)
Your Twitter account
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: Thank you.
KELLY: For the record, it was well beyond Rosie ODonnell.
TRUMP: Yes, Im sure it was.
KELLY: Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about womens looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president, and how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who was likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?
TRUMP: I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct.
(APPLAUSE)
Ive been challenged by so many people, and I dont frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesnt have time either. This country is in big trouble. We dont win anymore. We lose to China. We lose to Mexico both in trade and at the border. We lose to everybody.
And frankly, what I say, and oftentimes its fun, its kidding. We have a good time. What I say is what I say. And honestly Megyn, if you dont like it, Im sorry. Ive been very nice to you, although I could probably maybe not be, based on the way you have treated me. But I wouldnt do that.
(APPLAUSE)
But you know what, we we need strength, we need energy, we need quickness and we need brain in this country to turn it around. That, I can tell you right now.
