(CNSNews.com) - The conservate RedState Gathering disinvited Donald Trump from attending a forum for Republican presidential candidates that it was holding this weekend in Atlanta after Trump made a statement on CNN about Fox News’ Megyn Kelly that RedState’s Erick Erickson described as a “bridge too far.”
According to a CNN transcript, Trump said the following on "CNN Tonight" in an interview with Don Lemon: “So I have, you know, she gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions, and you know, you can see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever, but she was, in my opinion, she was off base.”
The Washington Post reported RedState’s withdrawal of the invitation to Trump this morning along with an interview with Erickson.
The Post reported:
“Conservative commentator Erick Erickson on Friday night disinvited GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump from speaking at an activist conference he is hosting here this weekend, citing disparaging remarks Trump made hours earlier on CNN about Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly….
“Trump’s CNN interview Friday evening instantly drew controversy and criticism after he said Kelly, one of the moderators of Thursday’s Republican presidential debate in Cleveland, ‘had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.’”
In an interview with the Post, Erickson said:
“I think there is a line of decency that even a non-professional politician can cross. Suggesting that a female journalist asking you a hostile question is hormone related, I think, is one of those lines….
“I’ve gotten a lot of people e-mailing me telling me thank you. Reporters, conservatives, other politicians. There have been lots of notes. Look, I really wanted Donald Trump to be here. I don’t think he’s a bad guy. But I can’t have a guy on stage who said Megyn Kelly was bleeding from her eyes or wherever. Bridge too far.”
