WH: Trump Is Happy Women Are Coming Forward, Doesn't Believe His Accusers

Source: Talking Points Memo




By NICOLE LAFOND Published DECEMBER 11, 2017 3:05 PM

The White House said Monday that President Trump wants women to feel comfortable coming forward with allegations of sexual misconduct, but that doesn’t mean he believes every accusation, especially those levied against him.

“As the President said himself, he thinks it’s a good thing that women are coming forward, but he also feels strongly that a mere allegation shouldn’t determine the course and in this case, the President has denied any of these allegations as have eyewitnesses and several reports have shown those eyewitnesses also back up the President’s claims in this process,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “The American people knew this and voted for the President and we feel like we’re ready to move forward in that process.”

In recent weeks, Trump has said he thinks it’s a good thing that more women are coming forward, but he has since backed Alabama Senate Republican candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct toward them when they were teens.

Before the election, Trump was accused by more than a dozen women of sexual harassment and assault. Trump has denied all the claims and called the women liars.

“The President has addressed these accusations directly and denied all of these allegations and this took place long before he was elected to be President and the people of this country had a decisive election, supported President Trump, and we feel that these allegations have been answered through that process,” she said.

here let me give you a brief rundown

65 million voted for Hillary Clinton / Tim Kaine

62 million voted for a sexual predator, malignant narcissistic sociopath, and a liar / and supporter of the sexual predator (a god fearing hypocrite), and also a liar

So in the analysis of this simple fact, 65 million people believed that your boss is a fucking sexual predator and the women in question are telling the truth, after all there is a tape!!!!!

And does he believe that the moon is made of cheese? With him and you we can never tell, look into his eyes, they are totally fucked up....................

We do not want to move forward with process until he is removed from office, and to add more insult to your worthless remarks, he is a fucking traitor!!!!! .

And you are right the American people did vote, but the electoral college had other ideas, they did not trust the 65 million people that voted against this asshole, and they had no fucking principles, they could have had the house of representatives determine the process, so that they could have been held accountable for there actions..........................

Obama was born in Kenya, the 5 black kids need to be killed even though it has been proven that they didn't rape the jogger, a pedophile is a fine senator, drumpf had nothing to do with the Ukraine plank getting changed at the convention even though he personally intervened, he works harder than anyone despite watching tv up to 8 hrs a day and golfing over 80 days, more in 11 months than Obama did in 8 years, etc. etc. etc. He nor any campaign members did not collude, meaningless term, with Russia yet there are 19 meetings with Russians that his campaign members have lied about, and counting. Now he's also saying it's not him on those
Access Hollywood tapes despite admitting it freely many times, the man clearly has dementia, a horrible drug problem or both.

Every time his ass lips or tiny fingers are moving, it's all lies, so of course this is yet another of his millions of lies.

Afraid to answer the question!


....When asked whether she struggled personally, as a woman, with the President’s response to the allegations, Sanders shot down the question, saying she’s there to relay Trump’s message.
