I *love* that this election is revealing the lie that the GOP is or ever was a political party based on "family values." Or values at all.

This Trump tape is not "lewd" or "locker room" talk. It's a powerful man BRAGGING about being able to commit sexual assault with impunity.

You know what's even MORE disgusting? The GOP is huddled in a room crafting messaging to spin Trump's actions. They won't disavow him.

Let's be clear: Women aren't offended by Trump's use of the words "fuck" or "pussy." (Many of us use those words too, believe it or not 😏)

Despite some folks' fantasies, Trump will not "step down" nor be cast aside by the GOP. Absentee & early voting have already started.

This forthcoming video statement by Trump is NOT about saving his candidacy. It's aimed at saving down-ballot GOP candidates.

Given that the forthcoming apology isn't really by Trump or for his candidacy, it wouldn't surprise me if he sabotaged his delivery of it.

NONE of the GOP rhetoric is a result of their really caring about women or girls or misogyny or sexual assault. It's about saving votes.

The GOP *knew* this is who Trump is. He has a pending rape case of involving a 13 yr old girl, FFS. And he violently raped his wife Ivana.

The "undecideds" in this election are largely suburban, GOP-leaning, white women. ALL of this faux-aghast GOP response is aimed at them.

The Trump candidacy is a PRODUCT of decades of GOP rhetoric devaluing women and girls, especially WoC. He's not an aberration.

One of the ways the GOP has devalued women throughout my adult life has been by using Hillary Clinton as a surrogate for us all.

The myth of a demonic Hillary Clinton dovetailed with the myths of the "welfare queens" and "unwed mothers" used by the GOP to demonize WoC.

All of this GOP rhetoric is faux-outrage, not actual empathy. It's manipulation designed to woo certain women into downballot GOP voting.

GOP policies do NOT support women, girls, or families. Their legislative and governing actions belie their now-pandering language.

GOP VP candidate Pence, wanted to FORCE women who miscarry into having funerals for fetal remains. That's sick. It's cruel. It's misogyny.
