Rosie made some unprintable comments about period blood in her comments, as she claimed Trump was waging a "war on women."
Entertainer Rosie O’Donnell slammed her old foe Donald Trump yet again lately, taking him on for comments he made that alluded to menstruation when discussing Fox News correspondent Megyn Kelly.
During a radio appearance, she said that she would like to “take my period blood … and write, ‘You’re all a——,” according to a New York Daily News report.
She said it is the latest indication of a “war on women” and that women are losing equality as it becomes acceptable to stereotype women based on their periods.
O’Donnell herself came up between the testy exchange between Trump and Kelly during the debate, when Kelly asked Trump why he had called women “fat pigs” and “slobs” before, causing Trump to respond that he had only made those comments to Rosie O’Donnell.
Trump ripped Kelly after the debate for allegedly begin unfair to him by picking on him for his past allegedly anti-woman comments, adding that Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever.” He later claimed to have been referring to her nose, but most people took it to mean he was referring to her menstrual cycle.
O’Donnell referenced those comments as well as the reaction of the radio show’s host, Jenny Hutt, and her guest at a marathoner’s decision to run without a tampon. Hutt and the guest had called Kiran Gandhi’s decision to run in the London Marathon without one gross, but O’Donnell said they were being misguided and that they were being sucked into male stereotypes about periods.
O’Donnell added that it was an important statement, as Trump’s comments indicate a continuing “war on women” and women need to show what kind of equality they face.
Trump has largely shrugged off the drama and continues to hold a big lead among Republicans in the polls as he moved on to Michigan to continue his campaign. He recently made news by stating he would spend $1 billion on his campaign, which is about what it would take to win the election based on previous elections.
