‘Nauseous’: Trump’s refusal to grasp ‘consent’ revives ‘Access Hollywood’ scandal
excerpt:
Professor of public policy and former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, at the time responded to Trump's remarks: "Donald Trump posted this unhinged, all-caps rant about how only he can make women happy and 'PROTECT' them. Remember, he's an adjudicated rapist, accused of sexual assault or misconduct by more than 20 women, and he's the reason that one-in-three adult women now live under a Trump abortion ban that puts their lives at risk." Also last month, in a New York Times opinion piece, contributing editor Jessica Bennett wrote: "Depending on how you count them, 19 or 26 or 67 women have accused Mr. Trump of sexual misconduct. Women who have said he 'squeezed my butt,' 'eyed me like a piece of meat,' 'stuck his hand up my skirt,' 'thrust his genitals,' 'forced his tongue in my mouth,' was 'rummaging around my vagina,' and so on." "So about five years ago, toward the end of Mr. Trump’s presidency, 10 of these women formed a little club of sorts, a sisterhood meets therapy circle meets support group — one with a hideous initiation." As for Trump's vow—or threat—to protect women, "whether the women like it or not," media critic Jennifer Schulze declared, "Quite a closing argument from an adjudicated rapist."
