What happened
Moderator Megyn Kelly asked Trump: 'You've called women you don't like "fat pigs," "dogs," "slobs" and "disgusting animals."' He cut in with 'Only Rosie O'Donnell,' which drew laughter. Kelly replied, 'For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O'Donnell,' and Trump answered that 'the big problem this country has is being politically correct.' He brought O'Donnell up again at the September 26, 2016 presidential debate: 'I said very tough things to her, and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her.'
