The developer lashed out at Kelly following the debate. On Twitter, he promoted another tweet calling the host a "bimbo," and in a series of interviews blasting her, he made a particularly controversial comment that many interpreted as a sexist reference to menstruation.
"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her - wherever," Trump recalled of Kelly during the debate. (Trump later insisted he meant "nose" or "ears": "Only a deviant would think anything else," he added.)
