An Oregon artist who used menstrual blood to paint an image of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Wednesday she would sell posters as well as the original, which was created in response to remarks that the billionaire made about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.
The portrait by Portland-based painter and activist Sarah Levy drew worldwide attention as Republican candidates prepared for their second debate, to be aired on CNN on Wednesday. It was after the first debate last month that Trump declared that Kelly, a moderator who had questioned him pointedly about some unflattering comments about women, "had blood coming out of her wherever."
"It was outrageous to me that someone running for president of the United States of America, not just some small-state governor or a random rich guy, but president, could say what he did and still be in the race," Levy said in a statement on the website of the International Socialist Organization, socialistworker.org, where she is a regular contributor.
