Donald Trump Jr., son of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, is still stumping for his dad amidst the nominee’s seemingly endless scandals. Of course, given the audio uncovered from a 2013 interview, it seems as though the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Donald Trump Jr. Thinks Women Should Just Put Up With Harassment
In 2013, Donald Trump Jr. appeared on The Opie and Anthony Show, a shock-jock style radio show. During the broadcast, the hosts were discussing allowing women into all-male golf clubs, and Trump Jr. said:
“It’s a lot easier to do it the other way, and you know … Break balls, and they’ll eventually win, because that’s where we’re going. It’s becoming a different society, for better or worse … If you have a guys’ place, you have a guys’ place. I’m gonna have a hard time letting go of that. Maybe I’m not gonna have a choice. I’m a guy’s guy.”
One of the hosts jumped in to complain that, though he likes being around women, “they always complain” and say “it’s harassment.” The hosts then went back and forth saying, in essence, that men want to be able to engage in what the Republican nominee has deemed “locker room talk.” So, they’re upset that they can’t be pigs.
Lovely.
After this exchange, Donald Trump Jr. agreed, saying:
“I’m of that mindset — and I’ll get into trouble, I’m sure I’ll get myself in trouble one of these days. If you can’t handle some of the basic stuff that’s become a problem in the workforce today, then you don’t belong in the workforce. Like, you should go maybe teach kindergarten. I think it’s a respectable position.
You can’t be negotiating billion-dollar deals if you can’t handle, like, you know … But listen — there’s a place where you have to draw the line — but today the stuff you get in trouble for…”
So, if women can’t “handle” being punchlines for immature man-boys, they should just go “teach kindergarten?” And, on top of that, is teaching kindergarten not a part of “the workforce?”
Sexual harassment is what doesn’t “belong in the workforce.” Ever. Men who can’t control themselves from making lewd statements are the problem – not the women who don’t want to hear it.
Donald Trump Jr. Also Thinks Sexual Assault Boasts Are “Normal”
Trump Jr.’s appearance on this show was not an anomaly. Just yesterday, October 13, 2016, he told a radio station in North Carolina that his father’s boasts of sexual assault make his father a “normal” person.
No, Mr. Trump Jr. They don’t. They make your father a predator and a pervert. If that’s “normal” to you, then that speaks volumes of how your father raised you.
