Mark Levin stunned at ridiculous questions for Trump
'Trying to dig stuff up ... every syllable was planned in
advance'
It was Rush Limbaugh who
brought the shocking news from DC
Whispers to everyone’s
attention: that Donald Trump was meant to be “taken out” in last Thursday’s GOP
debate.
“Though the Fox News
promos state it is a debate of Republican candidates,” reported DC Whispers,
“most of the network’s on-air personalities have admitted publicly it has
turned into the Donald Trump show as the top GOP contender has become the
single most referenced topic on the minds of everyone following the 2016 Race
for the White House. … That reality is not sitting well with GOP power brokers
who are said to have made it clear to operatives linked to a variety of
candidate camps that Donald Trump cannot be allowed to appear to win tomorrow
night’s debate. Some are said to have taken an even more aggressive stance by
indicating Trump’s Republican rivals are to ‘take him out’ tomorrow night.”
Many people agreed the
instructions from “operatives linked to a variety of candidate camps” to “take
him out” had an eerie ring to it.
Megyn Kelly’s immediate
attack on Trump came as no surprise to those anticipating this tactic. What did
surprise many – including, apparently, Trump himself – was the trivial nature
of the attacks. Some questioned whether this was all the ammunition they had.
Rather than introduce
serious policy issues such as immigration, terrorism or the economy, Kelly’s
first question for Trump attempted to brand him as a misogynist. “You’ve called
women you don’t like ‘fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals,’” she
began.
Trump interrupted with,
“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” which brought laughter and cheers from the audience.
Kelly continued: “For
the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell. You once told a contestant on
Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does
that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president,
and how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who was likely to be
the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?”
Presented with this
apparent non-sequitur during the debate, Trump was clearly baffled by Kelly’s
reference and couldn’t recall where it came from. Neither, it seemed, could
anyone else – until finally the source came to light: an old episode from
Season 6 of The Apprentice.
“She’s reading this,”
noted Mark Levin on
his radio program, “so this was done with
forethought. Every syllable was planned in advance. So the researchers did the
research. This was approved – had to be – by management. … That’s the specific
example she gives, asking about his temperament.”
Levin angrily pointed
out the absurdity of the reference. “You want to know the facts about that? …
They found the words. They were perfectly innocent. Donald Trump on Season 6 of
‘The Apprentice’ – and by the way, that means that our good friends at Fox went
through ‘The Apprentice,’ the various shows of ‘The Apprentice’ – went back and
looked at his Twitter and his Facebook … trying to dig stuff up … this is what
they did. They turned it into the National Enquirer. … That is the specific
example that is used against him. After all the background search that must
have been done, this is Season 6 of ‘The Apprentice.’ They were looking.
Looking. This is question No. 2 in a presidential debate?”
Levin said he was
“stunned” this kind of question was raised on a debate stage with people vying
to be president of the United States.
“We’re facing enemies
all around us … the economy … wouldn’t it have been nice if this was discussed?
… Instead we have to hear about stuff that’s cherry-picked out of Season 6 of
‘The Apprentice?’”
Levin played an
interview with Brande Roderick, the contestant on that episode, who not only
didn’t remember the line, but praised Trump for his encouragement and specified
he had never been disrespectful to her.
Trump has been a public
figure for decades, making and breaking deals, becoming a self-made billionaire
– and yet the worst dirt Fox News apparently could dig up was one line from a
2007 episode that was wrenched out of context. The
Right Scoop noted how blatantly the
“dropped to her knees” reference was taken out of context, noting: “But that’s
not what happened at all.”
Apparently not many
people were fooled. “For all of you who think Trump was not justified to be
angry, well here’s your proof that Kelly along with the entire Fox News network
had to dig up unfactual information and out of context quotes,” noted one
irate reader. “And all this was well
before the debates took place to try and shake him off the political stage.
This was a political hit from the top of the RINO food chain. Notice how none
of the other candidates said a peep about Trump? The head of the RNC set this
in motion to derail Trump.”
The move apparently
flopped. According to the latest
NBC News Online Poll conducted by
SurveyMonkey, “Trump is at the top of the list of GOP candidates that
Republican primary voters would cast a ballot for if the primary were being
held right now.”
“Fox’s attempts to
discredit Trump on a national debate stage fell flat and made them look
foolish, petty and unprofessional,” said one reader about Fox News.
