Numerous women have come forward about his sexually harassing them; but more recently, in the midst of a massive crisis in Puerto Rico, while she was working her heart out on behalf of her people, #45 chose to denigrate and disrespect another woman, calling her a liar. Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz’s only sin was that she was a woman begging for help to save her people. As an American citizen, she had a right to seek help from the American President.
Again, #45 has chosen to disrespect the Honorable Congresswoman Fredericka Wilson by calling her “wacky,” and having his Chief of Staff further publicly denigrate her with false information. While disrespecting the Congresswoman, he further disrespected Sgt. La David Johnson and his family by keeping up the nonsense on Congresswoman Wilson and choosing to play golf while Sgt. Johnson’s funeral was being held. He tweeted silly comments for many days.
Because of #45’s horrible behavior toward women, I find there is no wonder the First Lady looks as though she would rather be anywhere in the world other than with him when they’re walking or she’s standing beside him. It appears that she just “stands by her man” out of a sense of duty or is it out of a sense of fear of him if she doesn’t? While I want to feel sorry for her, she does have choices that many of the women her husband has, and continues to mistreat, do not have. I pray that she remembers the women #45 has hurt and continues to hurt with his policies.
Let me be clear. I stand in support of all the women who’ve been demeaned, hurt, abused and disrespected by FLOTUS’ husband. Doesn’t FLOTUS have an obligation to at least make a statement about sexual harassment, bullying, verbal abuse of women, silly antics, and unjust treatment of other marginalized people?
