Conservative activist Erick Erickson, organizer of major gathering, says mogul went ‘a bridge too far’ in discussing Fox News moderator’s tough questioning

Donald Trump has been officially banned from one of the biggest gatherings of conservative activists after implying he received hostile questioning during the first Republican presidential debate because the television moderator was menstruating.

 

Trump was uninvited from the RedState Gathering late on Friday after saying in a CNN interview that Fox News’s Megyn Kelly “had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”, while questioning him during Thursday night’s debate.

 

The real estate mogul had been scheduled to appear at a special tailgate at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta at the close of RedState Gathering on Saturday night.

 

Erick Erickson, the organizer of the event and a major conservative activist tweeted late on Friday night, “I have rescinded my invitation to Mr. Trump. While I have tried to give him great latitude, his remark about Megyn Kelly was a bridge too far.”

 

In a follow-up blog post, Erickson amplified why he was disinviting Trump: “there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross,” he wrote. “Decency is one of those lines.”

 

The falling-out marked the first major break with Trump from a key figure in the mainstream conservative movement. Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak told the Guardian: “This is the first time that a significant figure in the conservative movement has stood up to Trump and it’s cost him anything.

 

“I expect Trump to lash out at Erick but Erick wins when he fights and has a huge microphone and speaks to a lot of conservatives across the country.” Mackowiak added it also represents a missed opportunity for Trump to speak to conservative activists and reporters who had gathered for the event.

 

Trump’s latest comments about Kelly also met with an immediate rebuke from the only woman running for the Republican nomination. Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina tweeted on Friday night, “Mr. Trump: There. Is. No. Excuse.”

 

Fiorina added in a follow-up tweet: “I stand with @megynkelly.”

 

The escalation over women’s issues represented only the latest in Trump’s series of controversial remarks.

 

He had previously implied Mexicans crossing the border into the United States were rapists, said longtime prisoner-of-war and torture victim John McCain was not a war hero and retweeted a comment that Kelly was “a bimbo” earlier on Friday. Yet for all of Trump’s controversial remarks, the billionaire and former host of the Celebrity Apprentice remained at the top of polls in the Republican presidential primary heading into the weekend following the debate.

 

In a late-night interview with the Guardian, Erickson said he initially approached Trump’s campaign about the Kelly statement and that “they wouldn’t deny” it was a reference to menstruation. In the opinion of the conservative activist, “I don’t think I should have anyone on stage while my wife and daughter are watching who would say that on a female journalist.”

 

Erickson thought with the latest comments “Trump had disqualified himself” and the episode would be “the beginning of the end” of Trump’s campaign.

 

“I think it crossed a line of decency no one running for president should ever cross whether you are a professional or amateur politician,” Erickson said.

 

“This is my event, that I’m paying for and I can do whatever I want,” he said. “I wanted to have him here as a legitimate candidate, but no legitimate candidate suggests a female asking questions does so because she’s hormonal.”

 

A Trump campaign spokesperson responded: “This is just another example of weakness through being politically correct. For all of the people who were looking forward to Mr Trump coming, we will miss you. Blame Erick Erickson, your weak and pathetic leader. We’ll now be doing another campaign stop at another location.”

I think Donald understands what a lot of people don't. "Political Correctness" is a Marxist tool to Socialism/Communism. He ain't havin' any of it. His resistance to the confines of this Marxist/Socialist movement is probably what excites most of the people that know better than to be brainwashed by the Communist Manifesto. I for one hope he's around long enough to open people's eyes to what's happened to America the last 50 or so years. Political Correctness has got to go. Yet, we don't need fulgarness to replace it.

Here is a note I sent off to red state earlier this morning.

I don't have time to reword it for this forum, am late getting out to start the day as it is.

 

 

 

A word to you.

  Ever since Lincoln, America has been forced into a perpetual state of oppression through a manufactured "state of emergency".
Some Americans find this deception, along with every one of the politicians illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, and unethical, self-serving subsequent actions, to be a vile and heinous assault on the fundamental institution of individual rights, which were bestowed by God, and are evidenced through life itself.
  I am not familiar with your site, however, you are, by your own actions, declaring you are NOT republican through idea, doctrine, agenda, or posture.
You are alienating yourself from a great number of humans that welcome the candor of Trump.
By grasping for weak justifications to exclude, you are only declaring the validity of his statement.
  By bowing to to the insidious concept of political correctness, you have proclaimed your fealty to mindless oppression, your hate of independent thought, and your commitment to America's continued destruction.
  Whether or not Trump is able to not self-destruct is yet to be seen, however dubious the prospect, as he cannot continue to thrive on spurious bombastic braggadocio. 
He has yet to even prove his loyalty, or publish any detailed plans to back up his rhetoric, much less claim the nomination.
Are you so obtuse you don't realize we can see that?
Are you so convinced of your own "righteousness", your presumed intellectual superiority, that you have appointed yourselves the moderator for all conservative ideals?
That by itself utterly disqualifies you, and shames you, exposing you for the liars and fraudsters you are, attempting to deceptively hide behind a "Jefferson Cloak", while all the time trying to force a "Hamilton Tyranny" on America.  
  If you think you are so powerful you can impose any restriction you chose on free speech, you are sadly mistaken.
By your decision to desperately pander to an illusion, which is itself an affront to freedom, you have lost far more than Trump could have ever given away on your show.
You have lost respect, and given away your morals.
"Red State"?
Certainly not the red for fundamental republican ideology, perhaps then, red in solidarity for your "comrades"?
Megan Kelly is a reporter. She and her co-hosts intentionally self promoted, demanding 30% of the viewers time to aggrandize themselves. I was appalled at their preposterous disposition.
Your site is nothing more than an extension of the deceptions fanatically being perpetrated on the American Public.

Well one thing is for sure this, "FOOL", has drawn a clear line showing us all 

 

who the wolves in sheep's clothing are. All the fake pansy ***** conservatives are.

 

This entire thing has metastasized, rather quickly I might add, far beyond Donald Trump.

 

And that is exactly why he may get elected. The people of this nation, who work and pay the 

 

bills, are reaching a boiling point. They are tired of taking care of the permanent, "welfare class",

 

that think they should be taken care of from birth to death. And there is one major change from 

 

before than now, that being the working class was to busy working to be able to do anything.

 

However, with some 93 million of the working class,"out of work", were going to witness them

 

acting like the,"welfare class", as far as protesting is concerned. And the Lame Stream Media, 

 

along with the,"welfare class", have no idea what is coming. 

 

 

 

 

Here is a note I sent off to red state earlier this morning.

I don't have time to reword it for this forum, am late getting out to start the day as it is.

A most excellent letter my friend. Much better than the one I was writing, but decided not to send.

 

:lol:  :lol: Far too expletive to be sure.

Megyn Kelley has had many sexually suggestive photos of herself over the years So sometimes "misogyny" is okay with her.  You should hear her talk about her boobs, husbands penis, and sex on HOWARD STERN!!!!!!!  Yeah.  It's okay sometimes.

Candi Candi Candi ! I did not ask for your educational credentials. I merely insinuated that you were not adapt to economics given your poor choice of words, when you called Donald Trump a "fool."   I then surmised by your demographics and lack of information on your profile, coupled with your brash statement  that you probably are a democrat and at that point I decided to forgive you because I know that you don't know an better.
