As a phone-in guest Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Donald Trump insisted that his controversial remark about Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly has been widely misinterpreted. He told host Jake Tapper that he meant only to take note of Kelly’s anger at having been “bested” by him at one point in the Thursday debate. When he said blood had been issuing from Kelly’s eyes and “out of her wherever,” he meant only to pivot toward a wider policy point, he said. One would “almost have to be a deviant” to connect his blood references to menstruation, Trump said. He said that as president he would make strides in women’s health that his rivals for the Republican presidential nod could not match.
