Trump: Punishing Doctors, Not Women on Abortion ‘The Way I’ve Always Felt,’ ‘Could Be That I Misspoke’
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “O’Reilly Factor,” GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that “the doctor, or whoever it may be that’s really doing the act, or is responsible for the act, not the woman is responsible” is “the way I’ve always felt” and “It could be that I misspoke” when he said women who have abortions should be punished. Trump said, [relevant exchange begins around 6:50] “I have clarified it, but you really ought to hear whole thing. I mean, this was a long, convoluted question. This was a long discussion, and they just cut it out, and, frankly, it was extremely — it was really convoluted. And if, in fact, abortion was outlawed, the person performing the abortion, the doctor, or whoever it may be that’s really doing the act, or is responsible for the act, not the woman is responsible. So, that’s the way I’ve always felt.” When asked, “[D]id you misspeak, or did you misunderstand the question?” Trump answered, “It could be that I misspoke, but this was a long, convoluted subject.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett
Hillary: ‘I Am So Sick of the Sanders Campaign Lying About Me’
On Thursday, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton accused the campaign of her opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) of lying about her in a a video posted by environmental activist group Greenpeace. “I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me. I’m sick of it,” Clinton said. Clinton’s reaction was inspired by a question directed to her about taking donations from the fossil fuel industry and if whether or not she would reject their campaign contributions in the future. Clinton in the past has been confronted by environmental activist during this election season. Back in February, she downplayed a $150,000 donation she received from fossil fuel interests.

Super PAC for John Kasich Adopts Donald Trump’s ‘Lyin’ Ted’ Moniker for Ted Cruz
An ad created by the super PAC supporting John Kasich has adopted Donald Trump’s nickname for rival Sen. Ted Cruz: “Lyin’ Ted.” New Day Independent Media Committee’s video ad begins, “Many just call him Lyin’ Ted,” as a narrator proceeds to list Cruz’s alleged “lies.” [VIDEO] “Lied about Ben Carson to steal a win in Iowa; lied about being the best for the GOP when polls show he can’t even beat Hillary Clinton; his TV ad about John Kasich lied. Stations had to pull it off the air.” “If Ted Cruz’s mouth is moving, he’s lying,” the ad continues. The ad is released as Trusted Leadership PAC – which backs Cruz – unveiled this week a $500,000 ad buy in Wisconsin that slams Kasich, reports Politico. The anti-Kasich ad – called Kasich Won’t Play – hits the Ohio governor for his accepting super PAC donations from leftwing billionaire George Soros, and his expansion of Medicaid under Obamacare in his state, and his hikes in taxes. [VIDEO] “Given John Kasich’s liberal record, it’s no surprise his campaign isn’t rebounding, because John Kasich won’t play in Wisconsin,” the ad’s narrator says. “Team Kasich is not telling the truth,” said Chip Roy, executive
