Throughout his campaign, GOP front-runner Donald Trump has continually pushed the envelope of offensiveness to new heights, only to see his popularity among Republicans increase in the polls on each and every occasion. Not only that, but the 77 other Republican candidates have followed his lead after making such abhorrent remarks, declaring Trump isn't the only candidate who thinks such things, hoping to see their poll numbers improve as a result. Well, Donald Trump tested the offensive waters again at a Town Hall meeting in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday. When 84-year-old Louise Wingy asked Trump how he planned to fight the obesity epidemic if he became president, Trump ran over to the 350-lb. Ms. Wingy, knocked her upside the head, grabbed the mic, and blurted out, "That's how you fight obesity, my friends!," before dropping the mic and receiving a standing ovation in the form of a slow-clap as a result.
The other Republican candidates stayed quiet over the weekend until they saw Trump's poll numbers rise yet again on Monday, which prompted them to finally talk to the media about the incident. Here's what a few of them had to say:
- "Call it a fact, a theory, a myth, whatever, but I think this Wingy lady probably supported Planned Parenthood once in her life and this was karma at its very finest!" - Rick Santorum
- "I'm usually not a proponent of violence, but let's do like Trump and fight the gays! It's what Jesus would want!" - Mike Huckabee
- "I gotta give Donald Trump some credit, but not as much as I give myself. He shut down the obesity of one old woman for a couple of minutes; I shut down the government for a couple of weeks!" - Ted Cruz
When we asked Louise Wingy about her experience, she said, "What a f**king loser! Round 2, my backyard, bring a bat; you're going to need it, rat-head!," adding, "When I knock you down, I'm going to grab the mic and yell out, 'That's how you fight stupidity, my friends!'"
Upon hearing about this, Fox News decided to post the following headline on their webpage: "Angry 84-year-old white woman challenges Donald Trump, the man who punched her, to a re-match; Black Lives Matter probably to blame."
