Today, we have all been angered and shocked by Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump’s remarks from 2005. It is an unearthed hot mic audio from Access Hollywood. He talked about how he had gone after a married woman. He bragged about thinking he could sexually assault women because he is a “star.”
The phrase that everyone has hooked onto is at the end of the audio, during which he said that he could,
“…Grab them by the pussy.”
He issued this early morning non-apology video for the remarks:

He doesn’t really look very remorseful. It took him 10 hours to come up with this sorry excuse for an apology. He shifted blame to the Clintons.
Next, he tweeted this today:
Certainly has been an interesting 24 hours!

“Interesting!” That’s what you call it, Mr. Trump? Your campaign is collapsing. Women everywhere are taking to Twitter to chastise this nasty man.
Some of the comments include:
Women: tweet me your first assaults. they aren't just stats. I'll go first:
Old man on city bus grabs my "pussy" and smiles at me, I'm 12.

@CherylStrayed soccer coach discretely groped my boobs while demonstrating how not to block someone in gym class. I was 13.

The responses to her first tweet continue coming in today – at the rate of 50 per minute, according to Oxford.
According to a survey in 2011:
“Nearly one in five women surveyed said they had been raped or had experienced an attempted rape at some point, and one in four reported having been beaten by an intimate partner. One in six women have been stalked.”
These women are not amused by his “grab them by the pussy” comments. He is going to lose the female vote. This sexist man should not be representing our country. Sexual assault is not something to laugh about or joke about.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, he insulted his new wife that same year. In 2005, Melania Trump was pregnant with their son.
Trump actually said:
“Like a blimp — in the right places. In her case, the right places. I mean she really has become a monster — in all the right places.”
“I mean monster in the most positive way. She has gotten very, very large — in all the right places.”
This man would ruin our country. Vote for our Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on November 8.
