Donald Trump refuses to apologize to Megyn Kelly for 'blood' comments, Donald Trump is refusing to apologize for his attack on Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, saying only a “deviant” would have concluded his assertion that she had “blood coming out of her wherever” during last week’s GOP debate was a reference to her period.
“I was referring to nose, ears,” Trump said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” — one of four Sunday morning talk shows on which the Republican frontrunner appeared. “They’re very common statements.
"Who would make a statement like that? Only a sick person would even think about it,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I cherish women. I want to help women.”
Trump pointed to his real estate business as proof.Women are tremendous,” Trump told Stephanopoulos. “And I have many executives that are women. They are doing a phenomenal job. I pay them a tremendous amount of money. They make money for me. They make money for themselves. And in many cases, they truly are really talented and they can be killers.”
On Friday, Trump told CNN’s Don Lemon that Kelly’s questions during Thursday’s GOP debate were unfair.
“You can see there was blood coming out of her eyes, um, blood coming out of her wherever,” Trump told Lemon.
The interview sparked an immediate backlash. Erick Erickson, organizer of this weekend’s annual RedState Gathering in Georgia, disinvited Trump.
“I don’t want my daughter in the room with Donald Trump,” Erickson told attendees. “If our standard-bearer has to resort to that, then we need a new standard-bearer.”
