Trump Supporter on MSNBC Tells Her Daughters That Groping is 'No Big Deal'

At the end of the day, a lot of women have also bought into our rape culture. Drunken guys groping and trying force themselves upon women is just playful, fun banter, and the rape of an inebriated woman can be excused as "20 minutes of action" to quote Brock Turner's father.

In response to the numerous sexual misconduct allegations leveled against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump supporter in Montana told her young daughters that men groping women is “no big deal” while on MSNBC.

“Groping a woman — what is that at 18?” The mother said, before asking her two daughters, “How many guys you know think that is no big deal.”

“Even back then it wasn’t,” she added. “It’s not a big deal.”

Kavanaugh has been accused of sexually assaulting Christine Blasey Ford when they were both high schoolers in the early 1980s, which this woman argued that if true, still “doesn’t take away from his character and his job to do what he needs to do as a Supreme Court nominee.”

Not that groping is okay, but if one 'grope' was 'all' this accusation was, then, yeah ... you'd have a point ... a 17 year old boy one time 'groping' a similar-aged girl ... 35 years ago ... probably that alone wouldn't be THAT 'big of a deal' ...

And ya know what?

We wouldn't even be talking about it right now IF THAT WAS THE EXTENT of it.

BUT IT ISN'T. Not even CLOSE.

The fantasy-world these people live in is nothing short of breath-taking. They really think they get to just randomly fabricate their own version of reality ... buncha delusional f***s.

that no one ever has the tight to put their hands on your body unless you allow it. Sad, the daughters will probably end up in abusive relationships.
