Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly refused to apologize Monday to GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump after he accused her of asking an unfair question during last week’s Republican presidential debate. “As much as I do personally like Donald Trump, his comment about Megyn Kelly on CNN is a bridge too far for me“.

Trump said the people were “devastated” that he was not allowed to appear at the RedState event and that he had not wanted to do the event in the first place.
Mr. Trump was upset about a question I asked him at the debate last week about his electability and specifically comments he has made in the past about women. “So I think we’ll let the Republicans go back and forth with each other but I’d like to point out that there isn’t much difference in the policies when it comes to American women”.
But Manigault, in her defense of Trump, insisted that Kelly did not give him “a fair chance of showing where he stands on women’s issues”.
“When I started this campaign, I was asked on a national television show whether a woman’s hormones prevented her from serving in the Oval Office”, she said. “I said nothing wrong”. Who would make a statement like that? “Only a sick person would even think about it”.
“He felt attacked? It wasn’t an attack“.
Perhaps a discussion on whether if Trump can’t take the heat now, how is he going to go up against the Senate and the House?
But Branstad, who is serving his sixth term as Iowa’s chief state executive, isn’t buying Trump’s remarks. Cavuto asked. “I understand your intentions; you explained what they were after the fact“. It so happened that the one doing the calling out was a woman: Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, one of the 3 moderators on the debate.
Trump’s remarks resulted in him being disinvited from a major conservative gathering and also earned criticism from several of his rivals, including former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who said that Trump’s comments were “completely inappropriate and offensive”.

Trump’s longtime advisor, Roger Stone, says he quit over the weekend because Trump’s core message was being drowned out by the controversy.
