DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE A F*CKING CLUE WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT RE: WOMEN BEING SEXUALLY ASSAULTED IN THE MILITARY!!!
Trump was asked in the Veterans Townhall this evening what he would do if he were Commander-in-Chief re: sexual assault of women in the military. (Aside from his extremely sexist idiotic tweet in 2013 stating "What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?") tonight Trump's answer on how to handle sexual assault in the military is: to have more internal investigations WITHIN the military.
WTF!!! SERIOUSLY?
Does Trump actually believe that a woman who is sexually assaulted would feel comfortable going to her superior to report what happened? In the most recent Pentagon survey, it found that 62% of women who reported being sexually assaulted experienced retaliation. The amount of retaliation remains unchanged from 2012, while the estimated number of unwanted sexual contacts remains at 2010 levels – an average of 52 new cases every day.
The best course of action should be for a woman in the Service to be able to safely file and have the sexual assault investigated from legal counsel NOT her direct Superior within the Military.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand proposed a military sexual assault bill TWICE.
Her bill would have shifted sexual-assault prosecutions from the chain of command to military lawyers, in part to remove victims’ fears of retaliation for reporting attacks. Both times the bill was shot down by the good ol' white boy Republicans in the Senate.
I can't stand the whole anti-woman sexist Republican Party!!! and what's truly bizarre is the fact that there are women who actually vote for a Party that does NOT care about the empowerment of women. What a shame!
