Kelly had rattled Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, at Thursday’s debate by asking him about his past derogtory statements about women.

Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump replied “Only Rosie O’Donnell”.

After a day of escalating hostility, Trump took his attacks on Kelly to the next level on Friday night, apparently insinuating that the moderator had been menstruating when she questioned him during Thursday’s first Republican debate. “Mr. Trump is an outsider and does not fit his agenda”. To that fast-growing list he has now added Kelly.

The make-up comes after Trump made headlines claiming Fox News host Megyn Kelly targeted him during the debate. “And yes, it is offensive”, Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard executive, said in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper aired Sunday on “State of the Union”. About one in five Trump supporters said they would switch and support the eventual Republican candidate.

“Mr. Trump usually says, ‘These are my events and my podium so I can do these things.’ Well this is my event and my podium and I can do this”, Erickson said. He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. “And then he gets up and criticizes me over the weekend about something that I didn’t even say”. “And other candidates have said that”.

Trump told Savannah Guthrie this morning, “This wasn’t meant to be much of an insult”. Cavuto asked. “I understand your intentions; you explained what they were after the fact“.

Billionaire US presidential candidate Donald Trump has refused to back down over his controversial comments about women.

He continued to insist Monday that anyone who assumed he was linking Kelly’s debate questions to her menstrual period to be sick and said any assertion like that would be “inappropriate”. And I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism. But I haven’t been wrong.

“A lot of good things are happening, so maybe I shouldn’t change anything”, he said.

“How will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who was likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?” she asked.

Bush gaffed and said he “misspoke” last Tuesday when he stated he was “not sure we need half-billion dollars for women’s health issues” before reversing himself and saying he was only referring to funding for the Planned Parenthood organization.
