#HillaryGropedMe is trending on Twitter

beth loves ghosts,so ?@bourgeoisalien 38 minutes ago
I guess the main reason I'm proud to be a liberal is that we would never start a hashtag to mock victims of sexual assault #HillaryGropedMe


Surely, a lot of the tweeting is done by Trump's troll army of fake people and computer bots and programs, but there are also lots of deplorables right now busy ridiculing the victims of trump's admitted sexual battery. A Twitter search for "Trump" returns a pustulent sewer of vile hatred and deplorable ignorance and stupidity. When they crash and burn, they really do crash and burn.

This is part of a broader strategy to suppress voting, to turn people off to politics and the election and make them want to just sit it out, have nothing to do with it. The strategy is "scatological besmearment," covering something in foul smelling shit to keep people away from it.

Dear God-Please deliver us from the wonton spirit of meanness being influenced by the defective ego associated w/Trumpitist #HillaryGropedMe


Of course, the backlash posts are likely what drove the hashtag into the current trending # 2 position, w/ 95K tweets. The response/outrage is to this kind of racist crap from a Trump account:

Black Women 4 Trump ?@TallahForTrump
#HillaryGropedMe after she whipped the other Blacks into the voting line in Detroit. Traumatizing. The whip. I cry every night @nytimes


Charles Clymer ?@cmclymer
We have sunk to our lowest depths as a society when victims of sexual assault are viciously mocked like this.

This hashtag is disgusting, horrific, and childish. Mocking victims of sexual assault has no place in this country I love.


We've begun an investigation of the routing of these tweets, and they all lead to the same IP address ....
