Republicans stay mostly silent in face of Trump’s bigotry and misogyny



Wednesday was Women’s Equality Day, the anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave American women the right to vote 95 years ago.

And how have Republicans marked this egalitarian milestone? Why, with another bimbo eruption, of course.

Fox News boss Roger Ailes, who had already had words with Trump over his sexist attacks on the anchor, fired back Tuesday with a statement saying Trump’s “surprise and unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly during her show last night is as unacceptable as it is disturbing.” He went on to call Trump’s Twitter attack “crude and irresponsible.”

“Donald Trump rarely apologizes, although in this case, he should,” Ailes said.
Trump’s response, at a press conference in Iowa: “It is a very small element in my life, Megyn Kelly. I don’t care about Megyn Kelly. No, I would not apologize. She should probably apologize to me, but I just don’t care.”

Seeing as they're all take-charge persons who aren't afraid of T Rump. They'd be all over his bigotry if they disagreed, right? So what reasonable conclusion can we draw?
