GOP Chair Says ‘People Just Don’t Care’ About Reports Donald Trump Mistreated Women

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday said voters don’t care about reports that the party’s presumptive presidential nominee has disrespected women and made unwelcome advances toward them in the workplace.

A New York Times investigation published Saturday included dozens of interviews with women and men who worked with Donald Trump over decades, detailing crude comments about the female form, disturbing workplace conduct and more.

“All these stories that come out — and they come out every couple weeks — people just don’t care,” Priebus said when questioned about the NYT report on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think people look at Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and say, ‘Who’s going to bring an earthquake to D.C.?’”

Fox anchor Chris Wallace took another stab at the question, appearing flummoxed that Priebus assumed no one cares.

And at various times the same about minorities, etc. Brilliant strategy, clearly.

Women are avoiding trump like the plague. He has a big hole that he has dug for himself. Not sure he can climb out of that.
