Its been 425 days since Trump admitted to sexual assault and hes still in the Oval OfficeDonald Trump remains in the Oval Office despite being caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women. While other powerful men have faced consequences for sexual misconduct, the Republican Party has allowed Trump to evade accountability.
By Oliver Willis DECEMBER 7, 2017
Donald Trump was revealed 425 days ago to have made an admission on tape that he sexually assaulted women, and was proud of it. He remains in the office of the presidency, even as other powerful men in politics and business have lost their positions over similar allegations.
There was a period of 14 days between the revelations of sexual misconduct by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and the announcement that he would resign. For Sen. Al Franken, it was 21 days.
Fox News founder Roger Ailes was ousted over harassment claims, as was network star Bill OReilly. Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was also pushed out after his many victims spoke up.
Trump has yet to have his day of reckoning, in large part because of the support he continues to receive from the Republican Party.
The Trump administration has alleged that every woman who accused Trump of sexual harassment or assault is lying. There are at least 16 women who have made credible allegations against him over the years.
