Two years ago Donald Trump, then a Republican presidential nominee trailing in most polls, responded to accusations that he had sexually harassed a number of women by mocking one’s appearance: “She would not be my first choice.” All of them, he said, were “liars.”
On October 7, 2016, during the 2016 United States presidential election, The Washington Post published a video and accompanying article about then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and television host Billy Bush having “an extremely lewd conversation about women” in 2005. Trump and Bush were in a bus on their way to film an episode of Access Hollywood (now Access), a show owned by NBCUniversal. In the video, Trump described his attempt to seduce a married woman and indicated he might start kissing a woman that he and Bush were about to meet. He added, “I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
Donald Trump publicly bragged about violating women’s privacy and bodily autonomy at he Miss Universe contest that he owned. Women have shared stories of being harassed by Trump in the very ways he has publicly boasted about. Tasha Dixon was 18 when she competed in the Miss USA pageant, winning the state crown. She reported to CBS, “He just came strolling right in. There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Other girls were naked.”
Despite his past behavior and language Trump seems to think his support for Brett Kavanugh is a winning strategy to retaining control of both house of Congress in the November 6 elections.
And now Trump has voiced his concern for the men who have sexually harassed women.
November 6 should be a time when you send the boorish, obnoxious, sexual harasser a message.
You are not fit to be president of the United States.
