Donald Trump’s disgusting new attack on Megyn Kelly: “She had blood coming from her whatever”

The presidential hopeful and unapologetic misogynist goes full Donald during vile new CNN interview

JACOB SUGARMAN


Twenty-four hours after comparing Rosie O’Donnell to a farm animal, Donald Trump reminded the nation he’s capable of so much worse Friday night during a phone interview with “CNN Tonight’s” Don Lemon.” After dismissing Megyn Kelly as a “lightweight” and a “highly overrated” journalist, Trump capped off his fusillade by suggesting the Fox News host was having her period during Thursday night’s Republican debates. “She was bleeding from her eyes,” he told a dumbfounded Lemon. “She was bleeding from her whatever.”

This is not The Donald’s first attack on Kelly. After the co-moderator had the temerity to question his long, gnarly history of misogyny, a question for which he could only bloviate about “political correctness,” Trump lashed out at “The Kelly File” host as “unprofessional” and a “bimbo.” And while those remarks made headlines Friday, The Donald’s latest belch is already reverberating across the Republican Party. Erick Erickson has disinvited Trump from a RedState gathering, while fellow presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina has denounced his remarks on Twitter.

One might question the hypocrisy of a man who called a Supreme Court justice a “goat-fucking child molester” claiming the moral high ground or a devoted antiabortionist defending women’s bodies, but that is for another day. For now we’re left to wonder the Republican Party will have Trump to kick around at all.

Listen to Trump’s Kelly remarks at CNN.

He's a red-faced dope that's way out of his league. Time to go back to scripted cable TV where they can use editing to make him seem normal.

Trump simply epitomizes what All GOP (mostly) Men think. They just try Real hard to stay PC and keep their "inner loathing" of Women disguised - and we all know they don't actually accomplish that.
So, what's the beef with Trump? He is Proud and Unashamed to BE Modern GOP and is demonstrating the Full Meaning of that...sans the Work of "trying" to Hide it. Instead he Owns it. The GOP ought to be fully behind a man that is This honest about What their party Really stands and works For. The Bad, the Ugly and the Insane..all of it is Finally Publicly bared by Trump.

"Is the epitome of the White male Boys Club he lives in. He's used to being able to talk like that to those he considers beneath him.....those that surround him on the way up.....that are emboldened to him "for thier very existence"...he is used to using this kind of "speak" that allows him plausible deniability in HIS world while simultaneously emotionally nueters who it was directed at....they cower or be banished from the "Kings Court".

Thats why I could never watch his show.......that is exactly what the overall message was..."how to get ahead by being a pompous asshole" His class of people (CEO's and Richie Rich Trist Fund Babies) are rife with Sociopaths.....they are who he rewarded on that stupid show pompous assholes and sociopaths....Its why Jean Simmons excelled and has since become even more of a pompous ass himself....because now he believes like Donald does....that somehow they are genetically superior humans and THAT'S why they are so "richly endowed".

These people do not believe luck had anything to do with their perceived success in life.....sociopaths do not believe in political correctness because they are superior to the rest of us....how dare we expect them to show us civility and fairness......because THEY see all of us as dirty and inferior...they think that makes thier thinking fair!"
I want to share these valuable, imo-points made that I received via pm.

I think I know what a "bimbo" is, and think it is definitely a pejorative. What I am circling around is....well...... I think Megyn Kelly might be one.

boaters, an unfettered forum to spew their hate, they are upset because their creation, "trump", has turned on them in the most vulgar terms.

How ironic, fox news has no issues with Ann Coulter whose position on immigration and race is just as obscene as Trumps.

Fox new has no problem calling Democrats "unAmerican", and every other name in the book.

The indignation of the media coming to the fox news defense is ironic also. They describe trump as arrogant, thin skinned, and vulgar. This is from an industry who is arrogant, thin skinned, and vulgar.

They can dish it out, but they cannot take it. Trump is a reflection of the republican party, and the media. Sexist, racist, and vile.

Has used her position to slut shame every progressive female in the news! About time she gets a small taste of what she has been doing for years. SHUT UP MEGYN!

I apologize if this offends other women. But it is women like her and coulter that prefer to pull intelligent women down, out of pure jealousy, and that hurts all women.

And now, she gets to play the victim. I call bullshit!
