Erick Erickson bars Donald Trump from RedState event in Atlanta

The organizer of the RedState Gathering has rescinded The Donald’s invitation to speak at a Saturday evening rally at the College Football Hall of Fame.

Erick Erickson said the billionaire’s comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly were “a bridge too far.” Trump told CNN on Saturday that “you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever” as she questioned him during Thursday’s Republican presidential debate.

Erickson took issue with Trump’s comments — particularly the “wherever” part — in a post to his blog overnight. He elaborated on Saturday morning, telling the event’s hundreds of attendees he though it was “weak and pathetic to take a tough question from a journalist and assume she’s on her period and that’s why she asked a tough question.”
