Donald Trumps Himself; Answers Question Of Misogyny With Misogyny


Journalist, media personality and champion of women’s rights, Megan Kelly, locked horns with 2016 Presidential candidate-hopeful Donald Trump overnight, at the US’ first Republican Presidential Debate.

Kelly prefaced a question to Donald Trump by noting his unconventional politicking, saying, “you speak your mind, and you don’t use a politician’s filter“, but added that his appraoch was often used to the detriment of women.

You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” Megan Kelly said. Trump was quick to clarify. “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Donald Trump said, made worse by rapturous applause erupting from the audience.

On Twitter, Rose O’Donnell responded.


For the record, it was way beyond Rosie O’Donnell,” Kelly maintained, before launching into her question of the day.

“Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks. You once told a contestant on the 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? And how do you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton – that you are part of the war on women?”

Undermining the issues of domestic violence, pay inequality, reproductive rights, sexism and abuse that women face, Trump reduced the enemy to “political correctness” not misogyny or lacking governmental policy.

Kelly’s game was consistently on fire for the rest of the debate, as she continued to pose questions on abortion and women’s rights – to a lineup of old white m8s.


Afterwards, Trump was relentless on Twitter, aiming fire at Kelly for a question that could have spurred a genuine conversation about equality, but ascended to farcical heights.

Praying for you and your choices, America.
