Re: Trumps's "Megyn Kelly is bleeding from wherever" comment

Added at 3:O1 PM PST for clarity:


Meanwhile, a campaign press release sent to Daily Mail Online describes how Trump made Kelly look 'really bad' in the GOP debate, saying: 'She was a mess with her anger and totally caught off guard.'
It continues: 'Mr Trump said "blood was coming out of her eyes and whatever" meaning nose, but wanted to move on to more important topics. Only a deviant would think anything else.

I doubt a single woman on DU would. It's crystal clear that it's malign, horribly sexist and denigrates women in as ugly a manner as one could imagine.

Why would you ask a question about the nature of that comment when it is so obvious how horrible it was? Not to mention that there had been NO dispute here as to how ugly Trump's comment is.

It's a bit disingenuous to claim that you didn't say anything. I'm just puzzled as to what prompted you to post this poll.

I started the poll because his campaign suggested his detractors are making a malign inference. I thought it was absurd and wanted to see if others shared my views.

His campaign said that anybody who suggested Trump suggested Ms. Kelly was menstruating was the "deviant".

Trump is a braying jackass. On the positive side, he's exposing the entire GOP as a bunch of jackasses as well.

"I think she is on the rag." Blaming her menses for her actions. Typical misogynist behavior.

However, he phrased it in such a way that he could cling to deniability. Not credible deniability though, as far as I'm concerned.
