All of the women who have accused Trump of sexual harassment are lying, the White House says

Source: The Washington Post




By John Wagner October 27 at 3:48 PM

All the women who have accused President Trump of sexual harassment are lying, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday when asked for the official White House position on the issue.

The question was posed during a White House briefing at a time when numerous men in high-profile positions have been undercut of late by allegations of sexual misconduct, including journalist Mark Halperin, who faced accusations this week from former colleagues.

“Obviously, sexual harassment has been in the news,” Jacqueline Alemany of CBS News asked Sanders. “At least 16 women accused the president of sexually harassing them throughout the course of the campaign. Last week, during a press conference in the Rose Garden, the president called these accusations ‘fake news.’ Is the official White House position that all of these women are lying?”

“Yeah, we’ve been clear on that from the beginning, and the president’s spoken on it,” Sanders said, before quickly pivoting to another reporter to ask a question.

If Dump and Sarah Huckamoose Sanders say you're lying, it means you're telling the truth. This whole party is a pack of craven liars and scumbags.

By accusing the accusers of lying, they have been given a cause of action for slander - a case in which the truth of the allegations will be pivotal.

I tried to describe how the hideous soul of a terrible person would eventually come out in visibly grotesque way. It wasn't like The Excorcist when "Help me" manifested itself through the girl's skin but I couldn't correctly place it.

The artist of the editorial cartoon did a great job capturing Huckabee Sanders!

And if she says because I have been forthcoming about the facts.

They should then come back with a list of when she hasn't.

I would have loved to have a follow up as well, like...

"This President has spoken, on tape, how he has walked up to women and grabbed them by the private parts because as he put it, he is such a big entertainment star that he can get away with it. So why do you Sarah, speaking as a woman, think that every one of these 16 women is lying?"

Lets see if I understand this,

All the women who accused Bill Clinton were telling the truth, even the ones who signed papers sayiing the contrary,

All the women who accused Bill Cosby were telling the truth,

All the women who accused Harvey Weinstein were telling the truth,

But none, absolutely none, of the women who accused Donald Trump were telling the truth, even after he was taped talking about grabbing them and walking in on their dressing rooms and stuff like that.

Is that about right?
