Donald Trump: The Michael Sam Kiss ‘Looked Pretty Out There’

‘We’ve become so politically correct in this country that the country is going to hell ... it was certainly out there a little bit ... he was really going at it’

DOOCY: "Is there a double standar, Donald Trump?"
TRUMP: "Well, I guess there must be because Tim Tebow, he went through hell. They went after him like crazy. And you know, I didn't really get to see him much because I was leaving New York, but I was watching as he got -- I think it was great he got chosen and he'll be in the NFL. Hopefully he'll make the team and be in the NFL and he'll do well. But I did see his reaction with the birthday cake or the cake. And you know, I don't know, if everyone thinks that's a wonderful thing, I guess that's fine with me. But it looked pretty out there to me."
HASSELBECK: "Donald Trump, let me ask you this. Because when he -- the player that was actually fined from the Dolphins for tweeting comments about this, at first it was 'OMG' and then, quote, 'horrific' on twitter. He was fined and the coach of the Dolphins spoke out as well and he's suspended until he goes through some training in regard to ethical comments on twitter and social media. Do you think that's a reasonable reaction to his reaction?
TRUMP: "Well, I think it's a pretty tough reaction and frankly, a lot worse things -- we've become so politically correct in this country that the country is going to hell. We can't do anything anymore. People are afraid to talk, they're afraid to express their own thoughts. And you know, that's their view. I will tell you, I've heard many people -- I'm not even speaking for myself, but I've heard many people that thought the display after he was chosen was inappropriate. And whether or not it was, I don't know. But it was certainly out there a little bit. And I'm very happy that he got chosen. I'm all for it. I think it's great that he got chosen. I hope he does so well. But I thought when he -- when he -- he was really going at it, I mean -- I haven't seen anything like that in a while. He was really going at it. Yet when Tebow did his thing which a lot of people thought was totally fine, he was just criticized so badly. I guess you could say there is a double standard, and it's sad."
