Media MattersRight-wing pundit and recently announced Trump advisory board member Clarence Mason Weaver has said that women arent equal to men and that they damaged society when they won the right to leave the home and go to work. He has claimed that women who report sexual misconduct at work are the reason why we dont want to be around you in a business. And he has told women that they should carry themselves as handmaidens and be submissive.
The Trump campaign recently launched its Black Voices for Trump coalition, with President Donald Trump speaking at a rally in Atlanta, GA. The campaign also announced the members of its advisory board, which includes numerous right-wing media personalities such as radio host Herman Cain, Fox Nation hosts Diamond and Silk, and Fox News contributors Deneen Borelli and Alveda King.
The campaign lists the involvement of Clarence Mason Weaver (who usually goes by Mason Weaver in media appearances and also lists his name as Clarence A. Mason on his website), a right-wing author and purported motivational speaker. Weaver has made numerous appearances on Fox Business and Fox News over the years, including on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Fox & Friends, and Trish Regan Primetime. He attended the coalition launch in Georgia and posted on Facebook that he got to meet the President [and] shake his hand again. He also met Lara Trump.
One of Weavers philosophies is that men and women are not equal. In a recent video about the subject, Weaver said that women shouldnt be queens because we do not look for queens. Queens is hard work. We look for handmaidens, sweetheart. We look for a helpmate out here, girl. And no king is looking to share their kingdom. He later suggested that if a woman isnt as strong as he is, she should be quiet, and be humble, and be submissive.

OP
This will go over well in the black communities where whites have chosen to incarcerate black males.

one that I wish they had done more of; the fall of America and the rise of Giliad. Its chilling to think how quickly the veneer of civility can fall away in a crisis.
