Trump defends relationship with women
Print Edition
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump yesterday hit back at critics who said he went too far with caustic comments about a television news anchor, insisting no apology was necessary and defending his relations with women.
“I’ve had such an amazing relationship with women in business. They are amazing executives.
“They are killers. They are phenomenal,” Trump said on ABC’s “This Week” program.
The billionaire, who leads the polls in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, appeared on Sunday news shows to rebut the latest wave of outrage triggered by his off-the-cuff talk.
This time, Trump is under fire for criticizing Fox anchor Megyn Kelly during and after a debate on Thursday night for candidates seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
Asked about Kelly on a CNN interview on Friday, Trump said: “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.”
Trump was barred from an important gathering of conservative activists on Saturday and drew another round of denunciations.
Republican candidates Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry and George Pataki all denounced his comments on Twitter or in statements. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush called on Trump to apologize.
“They were completely inappropriate and offensive comments,” Fiorina said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Asked on ABC if he thought he had gone too far, Trump said, “No, not at all.”
He said he has always had “a great relationship with women” and has hired “thousands” of top-level female employees.
Trump said his comments about blood coming from Kelly were misconstrued as a reference to menstrual blood.
