All the women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment are lying, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday when asked for the official White House position on the issue.

" Jacqueline Alemany of CBS News asked Sanders. "At least 16 women accused the president of sexually harassing them throughout the course of the campaign. Trump simply put it down to fake news.

Well I guess that line worked for Bill Cosby

Anything that doesn't suit the Trump agenda is automatically fake news, though there are true believers that suck it up.

And yet Huckabee thought it important enough to hold a press conference

The Weinstein scandal must be rubbing off on Trump's paranoia

If powerful men like Cosby and Weinstein can be guilty of sexual assault, why not Trump, who bragged about being a serial p*ssy grabber?

except Trump has deep pockets and powerful backers...

There was an ongoing case made by a woman who alleged Trump raped her when she was 13
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/ ... ped-230770

She dropped the lawsuit when Trump won the US election no way realistically she would ever take on POTUS...probably worried about her personal safety, people vanish for less...

Lets not forget that 62%of white female voters (lets just call them Trump's target meat market) approved of Donald Trump prior to the last US election. What is more staggering is that university/college is blamed for churning out left wing feminists yet 45% of college educated women said they would vote for Trump. The second statistic is more damning than the first because it says that half of educated white women didn't mind that Trump is a serial sex pest and self confessed misogynist.

Perhaps that's the percentage more or less that internalised the blame for sexual predators' crimes in the past. They were socialised to blame the victim and knew what happened to women who spoke up. Socialisation forced them into a kind of cognitively dissonant state.

Actually, it's *married* white women, in hetero marriages, who are either part time workers or full time homemakers. They're one husband away from a welfare check, and they know it; they're not going to rock that boat.

(Edit in: source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... nds-voting )

(Edit in again: living in that situation also induces "zero-sum" thinking, i.e. that if anyone anywhere gets any more of anything, one's own situation is diminished somehow.)

Most people go to jobs all day.

No time for figuring out politics.

They only know some basics about the candidates.

I can still remember Clinton in the 90s defending herself from the "White Water" scandal. So what happened with "White Water"? Did she know? What happened to the "fall woman" who stayed in jail and refused to talk?

Who cares, right? Same with Trump.

Yeah, and the rich guy he was talking about was himself.

My wife fits into that demographic in just about every way, except she would never vote for Trump.

Exactly. He was making it clear consent was involved. But in order to villify, you have to disregard that part.

Apparently in liberalism a woman allowing a man to touch her vagina is like a Victorian age no no.
