Why did a photo of porters abuse make the ex-wifes story more believable

When a video and audio of the lying conman admitting his assault on women didn’t sway any voters? Why would these rethugs who are not a part of the cons base rather support the assaulter in chief then vote for the most qualified person to ever run for president?

Not too hard to understand...and true in so many ways beyond this issue.

Billy Bush's career dive-bombed.

Only hope that tRUMP is next.

Believe me, I can't even stand looking at this guy/idiot, and especially can't stop thinking about where his hands have been, yuk!

Gross.

5. The War on Women would have us believe that men are more credible.

Look at all the excuses the WH minions have been throwing out, that everyone believed Porter was totally innocent. Porter, a known serial wife beater who could not get a security clearance, only had to say that he didn't do anything wrong, to have instant credibility as to his innocence.

Yet the women he assaulted, despite their statements, police reports, interviews and FBI documentation were scoffed at until the black eye photo appears and validates their abuse. Women have to meet a higher standard of proof than the men who harm them, or they will not be taken seriously.
