Trump refuses to apologize for Megyn Kelly remarks
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has declined to apologize for the remark he made about Fox News host Megyn Kelly, insisting that he did not imply anything offensive and that he values women.
"I cherish women," Trump said Sunday, claiming that he did not mean to imply that Kelly asked him sharp questions during a debate because she was menstruating.
"I apologize when I'm wrong," he said. "I said nothing wrong."
On Friday, Trump accused Kelly of singling him out during the heated debate by asking what he called unfair questions.
The billionaire said, “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her – wherever.”
Kelly was one of three moderators during the Republican debate on Thursday at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
During the debate, she asked Trump to respond to derogatory statements he had made in the past about women, calling them "fat pigs," "dogs," and "slobs." Trump attempted to wave off the question and dismissed Kelly.
“Who would say that?" Trump said Sunday. "Do you think I'd make a statement like that? Who would make a statement like that? Only a sick person would even think about that."
Trump claimed he was referring to her ears and nose when he used the term "wherever."
A review of the billionaire’s writings, televised interviews and Twitter feed indicates that he has long used harsh language to describe women.
Last year, he took to Twitter, calling Huffington Post editor Arianna Huffington "a dog who wrongfully comments on me" and said she is "ugly both inside and out!"
