Republican presidential candidate gave the nation his
“Scarlet Letter” on Tuesday.
He said abortion should be outlawed and women who have them
punished.
The New York Times said Trump declared his support for
abortion and “there has to be some form of punishment” for women who have them.
Trump, as usual tried to back off, but his Republican
opponents reportedly reacted by further hedging their guarantees to support
Trump if he wins the nomination.
Trump said he didn’t need the support of Sen. Ted Cruz or
Gov. John Kasich.
"Just
when you thought it couldn't get worse," Hillary Clinton tweeted
Wednesday, sharing a tweet about what Trump had said regarding abortion.
"Horrific
and telling,” the Hill reported.”
The
Times quoted from an exclusive interview Trump had with MSNBC. The news network
brought a Trump spokeswoman on to explain what was going on but she said she
had not been fully informed.
Trump
also has been criticized by the other Republican candidates this week for
refusing to fire his campaign manager, who was accused of assaulting a woman
reporter.
Trump’s
comments criticizing individual women have already caused his popularity among
women to decline.
Trump
also criticized Sen. John McCain, who was imprisoned by the North Vietnamese
for seven years when his plane was shot down. He said people who are captured
are not heroes.
The
“Scarlet Letter,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850, tells the story of a woman
required to a dress with the letter “A” on her because she had committed
adultery.
