It’s been lively
since last week’s Republican presidential debate. The dust-up between
Fox News’ debate panelist and pundit Megyn Kelly over her questioning of
anti-establishment candidate Donald Trump, followed by comments by
Trump that some interpreted as referring to her menstrual cycle, were
good enough for Erick Erickson, leader of the annual, decidedly
right-wing Red State Gathering in Atlanta, to disinvite Trump and
instead invite Kelly in his place. Few expected what happened next:
Conservatives rallied around Trump and vehemently condemned both
Erickson and Kelly. Here’s a sampling of the hundreds of angry Facebook
posts from the Red State’s own page. For the record, we found very few
rising to the defense of Kelly and Erickson:
Eve Grossi: Whether anyone is a fan of Trump, one must admit Megyn Kelly had a personal agenda that night. It was to make Trump fall.
Kevin Carr: So much for Fox being fair and
balanced! The moderators had an agenda! Trump will probably go third
party now and so will I. Trump for POTUS!
