The President Sexually Harassed Female Journalists on Friday. Why Won't the Press Say So?
The president of the United States stood before a ballroom full of journalists and sexually harassed women whose livelihoods require them to continue showing up at his workplace every day. Their colleagues sat in the room, watched these women get abused, and refused to speak up for them — either by walking out en masse or at least covering this event honestly after the fact.
snip
Let’s be very clear about what happened. The president stood on stage and read a speech — presumably written and vetted by his staff — that objectified highly accomplished women, portraying them as nothing more than, at best, a piece of eye candy. The most insulting riffs, about CNN’s Kaitlin Collins, were not ad libbed. He read them off a prompter, which means that someone — or likely a group of someones —decided objectifying and demeaning a female reporter (while throwing in a transphobic joke for good measure) was a great way to spend a Friday night.
snip
Trump called Collins a “young, attractive woman” and repeatedly commanded her to smile. “Smile, Kaitlan. Just smile.” he instructed her. (Ladies, how many times have you felt a burning rage when walking down the street and hearing some stranger tell you under his breath as he passed you by that you would be a lot prettier if you just smiled?)
snip
This is not normal political criticism. It has nothing to do with whether Collins’s reporting is fair, accurate, or insightful. This is the most powerful man in the world publicly evaluating a woman’s attractiveness, policing her facial expressions, and using another woman’s gender identity to humiliate her in front of approximately 700 colleagues, competitors, government officials, and media executives.

2. He is such a disgusting pig.
Also the “Smile!” thing really grinds my gears! I’ve had strange men say that to me out of the blue (when I was younger). Oooooh so infuriating! 😡😡😡😡

Now do Biden showering with his daughter

Himalayanizing mole hills used to require the existence of a mole hill. Trump-Hatred bypassed that "requirement" back in July 2015.

And Walz's pardoning of Tou Lue Vang.

Oh the horrors! How dare some evil stranger say something to you that was most likely meant to brighten your day. If he had said "you're not as ugly when you smile", I concede your point.
At least he didn't follow up by calling you a conceited bitch.

#1. There are no ladies over at the dump.
#2. Wimmens over at the dump feel a burning rage by default, always looking for a target. They are enraged in perpetuity, with a possible but not confirmed exception of while they are asleep.

Hell, using the wrong preferred pronoun is apparently violence to the lefties.

The President Sexually Harassed Female Journalists on Friday. Why Won't the Press Say So?
Well looky here, we got us a biologist. ::)

I skimmed through Trump's entire speech, because sheesh said:
The President Sexually Harassed Female Journalists on Friday. ...
...
The president of the United States stood before a ballroom full of journalists and sexually harassed women whose livelihoods require them to continue showing up at his workplace every day.
Other than a single sentence in which Trump complimented CBS's Bari Weiss, the only "Female Journalist" to whom Trump referred was Kaitlin Collins. One. Woman. Here's the whole portion of the speech in which he referred to her so you can see what sheesh considers "sexually harassed":
... But I want to personally congratulate CNN's Kaitlyn Callins on receiving her award.
It was all about me. It's a fake. She shouldn't get the award.
It was a fake. But I didn't mind. I said, Kaitlyn, congratulations.
But it was fake. There's no question about it. But she's a young, attractive woman.
She never smiles. I said, Kaitlyn, do you ever smile? Smile.
You have a nice position. You're at CNN Fake News. You should be a happy person.
So, smile, Kaitlyn. Just smile. But we attack.
And I thought Kaitlyn had really made it big with a major new sponsorship. But then I informed her that it wasn't her on the Bud Light can. It was Dylan Mulvaney.
As "Lost in Space"'s Dr. Smith would say, Oh, the horror, the horror. ::)

The left has been saying this for a while now. And yet, if they commit actual violence, it's "mostly peaceful protest".
And if words are violence, leftists sure as hell are trying to get people killed.

Crazy isn't it

Other than my height, I could be compared to the original "Uncle Fester", Jacky Coogan. If, for some bizarre reason, Kammie or Noisome compared me to him, I would laugh, not scream hair-style harassment.

Everything is violence to leftists.

How can they say he harassed a female if they can't even define what a female is?
