Last night I watched Megyn Kelly and she was clearly on a mission to smear Trump with the latest sex scandal allegations. She started with Mike Pence, who did not rise to the bait but who was clearly annoyed at her focus on this subject and who was somewhat defensive. Then she pulled this on Newt Gingrich and the result was explosive. The video is below:
This is exactly the response needed and it was delivered brilliantly. Gingrich, who is hardly a saint, nailed it when he said, correctly, that Megyn Kelly was allowing the alleged sexual misconduct by Donald Trump to become the focal point of her coverage. He then turned it around by daring Megyn to call Bill Clinton a sexual predator.
This is exactly how Donald Trump can win this election. Not by threatening to sue the women who are making these accusations. That just makes him look defensive. He can win by pointing out what is beyond obvious. The MSM only get upset about this stuff when a Republican does it. They ignore similar, and in the case of Bill Clinton, worse behavior by Democrats. No one is excusing this behavior, but this is not exactly unusual when dealing with rich powerful men.
I think a lot of people are going to watch this video, which is pretty fun to watch, and say: “right on Newt, about time.”
During the 2012 primary campaign, Newt had a moment like this that totally turned around the election, for a while. This time he did it with less than two weeks before the flag goes up and it has the potential to change everything. The reality is that at least some of the allegations against Trump are probably true, but it is obvious that this is a smear campaign fueled by the Clinton Campaign and the MSM in a desperate attempt to avoid reporting on Hillary. If that changes, everything changes.
I think it will change, because I think the MSM will start trying to ‘xplain’ why Newt got this wrong and in doing so, they will be making his point.

Thank goodness somebody other than me rooted for Newt big time on this one. Also, why MK has been dropping in viewers.
I was really annoyed with her and she’s been on this since the Access Hollywood tapes came out.
Have any of them said that he actually did anything sexually?
Does anyone doubt that when someone is as rich as Donald Trump there is no shortage of beautiful women desperate to seize the day. There is a reason a lot of really ugly rich guys are married to beautiful women. I am absolutely certain that a lot of people pointing their fingers at Trump have done the same or worse. Trump is no choir boy, but the double standard is ridiculous.
