Donald Trump said Megyn Kelly had 'blood coming out of her wherever' during debate


Donald Trump repeatedly blasted Fox News' Megyn Kelly after Thursday night's Republican presidential debate. Kelly had asked Trump about his history of calling women derogatory names.
"She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions," Trump told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. In my opinion, she was off base."
Trump's comments got him booted from Erick Erickson's RedState Gathering, where he was scheduled to give the keynote Saturday night in Atlanta. Erickson invited Kelly to attend instead.
