East Texas judge calls Saturday's marchers a million fat women on Facebook

A Facebook post by an East Texas judge said people who marched in Saturday’s protests were “a million fat women,” according to Dallasnews.com.

The post on Monday by Judge Bailey Moseley, Texas’ 6th Court of Appeals in Texarkana, said: “Just think about this. After just one day in office, Trump managed to achieve something that no one else has been able to do: he got a million fat women out walking.”

The post was later deleted.

According to estimates, 2.5 million people turned out during a massive march in support of women’s rights and civil rights the day after Donald Trump became the country’s 45th president. Rallies were held in Fort Worth, Dallas, Washington, D.C., Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver and dozens of other U.S. cities, as well as in global capitals like London, Paris, Sydney, Ottawa and Nairobi.

Moseley, who has held the office since 2007, is “known for his strong integrity” and is “just, impartial, and fair,” according to his campaign website.

Only the caption reads, "Trump managed achieve something Michelle Obama couldn't, get a million fat women out walking".

This is par for the course. After he deleted it, someone from a TX Women's Democratic group I'm in on FB asked him why he deleted it and he said this:

"It was likely a mistake to delete it. I think the march of last Saturday was nothing more than a hissy fit with no defined purpose."
