Donald Trump's latest controversial comment was so alarming that he's been disinvited from a conservative gathering Saturday in Atlanta.
At issue: Trump's comments on "CNN Tonight" about Fox News' Megyn Kelly, who moderated a GOP presidential candidate debate Thursday night.
During the debate, she pressed Trump about misogynistic, sexist comments he made in the past, such as calling some women "fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals."
Quote:
Trump slammed Kelly, saying her questions were "ridiculous" and "off-base."
"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," Trump told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "Blood coming out of her wherever."

That remark crossed the line, said RedState.com editor Erick Erickson. He disinvited Trump from the RedState Gathering, a conservative event featuring GOP presidential hopefuls this weekend in Atlanta. Trump was scheduled to give the keynote speech Saturday night.
"I have tried to give a great deal of latitude to Donald Trump in his run for the presidency," Erickson wrote.
"He is not a professional politician and is known for being a blunt talker. He connects with so much of the anger in the Republican base and is not afraid to be outspoken on a lot of issues. But there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross. Decency is one of those lines."

Exactly. I can appreciate people who are blunt but there's a difference between being being blunt and just being indecent. Trump is indecent far too often. Can you imagine this man representing our country as president? It's one thing to be this way in private business meetings where people are willing to put up with you because of your money but you cannot get away with this in public office. Trump is NOT presidential.
So him implying she is on her period is MORE insulting then his racist statements in the past? THIS is crossing the line? Wow. Totally have their priorities in order.

The fact that this could hurt him more than his racist comments about mexicans
Just read the full article, Donald has no class. I mean Megyn is trash too, but damn she was just trying to do her job and him basically implying she's hormonal is just .
But then again he said racist comments before and yet no one in the Republican base seemed to care, actually Trump got MORE support. None of them are good for this country

It's because he insulted one of their own
But to be fair, those were pretty awful comments. Par for the course with Trump, though...
Lets not act like Fox News and Conservatives would be mad at him if he said the same things about Hilary, Mexicans and Blacks. It will just drive the conservatives who don't care that much about being PC to dig their heels in. Lets face it Trump is good for ratings.
