Donald Trump Is Skipping the GOP Debate Because He Hates Women
Unless he changes his narrow mind in the next day and a half, Donald Trump won’t be on the stage at Thursday night’s final Republican debate before the Iowa caucuses, because he hates women.
The petty, thin-skinned reality TV star turned presidential frontrunner (frontrunner, my god) is still pouting over a question Megyn Kelly asked him at him at another debate back in August. “You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals,'” Kelly reminded him.
“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump joked. The audience ate it up, because the audience at a GOP primary debate is full of terrible people.
Kelly continued her litany of Trump’s misogyny. “Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?”
Trump’s answer doesn’t particularly matter. He said something about how political correctness makes us “lose to China” and hey, he was just kidding anyway, and why was Kelly being so mean to him?
But after the debate, he went to war with Kelly, implying she was on her period (because of course he did), and demanding she not moderate another debate. He’s retweeted followers calling Kelly a bimbo and worse. Just this week Trump called her a “lightweight.”
In a rare show of journalistic standards, Fox News has made it clear candidates don’t get to pick debate moderators, and Kelly will be asking questions Thursday. So Trump is picking up his ball and going home.
But Trump isn’t skipping the debate because he’s scared of Megyn Kelly. He’s skipping the debate because he hates women.
