Grovel, all ye fellow women, at the feet of our great Feminist in Chief

By Catherine Rampell February 11 at 6:24 PM

O fellow women, let us be thankful for our most merciful and benevolent, most female-empowering president.

Yes, he may have defended accused wife beaters, female-subordinate harassers and even an alleged child molester in his orbit. Yes, in a Friday news conference about a White House aide accused of battering multiple ex-wives, he may have expressed sadness not for the victims but for the victimizer. He may not have even found time to make a bland, generic statement about how domestic violence is, you know, bad. And, yes, even before two White House aides resigned over wife-battery allegations, President Trump faced an unusually large gender gap in approval ratings.



But leave all that aside. We know that this president truly celebrates women and promotes their safety and success because, duh, the economy is doing okay.

So sayeth the Oracle of Alternative Facts, Kellyanne Conway. Asked on ABC’s “This Week” why Trump expressed sympathy for Rob Porter but not the ex-wives he allegedly beat, and whether Trump thinks Porter is falsely accused, the counselor to the president responded that women should be grateful because we’ve gained a lot of jobs in the past year.

was hired because she's almost as good at lying as her boss, and definitely has the required meanness, misogyny and racism down pat.
