"She Doesn't Remember" [View all]

[NanceGreggs]

This is tonight’s GOP talking point about why Christine Ford’s allegations shouldn’t have been taken seriously.

Let’s recall that Trump “doesn’t remember” meeting the many women who have accused him of sexual assault. He also “didn’t remember” instructing his lawyer to pay off two of the women whose accusations could have ruined his chances of being elected.

Trump, who has bragged for decades about being a self-made man, also “didn’t remember” that his father gave him millions of dollars, and repeatedly bailed him out when his financial ventures failed.

Donald Trump Jr. “didn’t remember” that the infamous Trump Tower meeting wasn’t about getting dirt on Hillary – until his own emails proving otherwise were exposed.

Jeff Sessions “didn’t remember” meeting with any Russians – until evidence surfaced that suddenly refreshed his memory.

Paul Manafort “didn’t remember” to register as a foreign agent – until he was caught not doing so.

Michael Cohen “didn’t remember” doing anything unlawful on Trump’s behalf – until he was indicted for doing exactly that.

Jared Kushner “didn’t remember” all of the contacts he’d had with Russians when he filed for a security clearance – and then miraculously remembered over a hundred such contacts when informed that his clearance might be denied on the basis of such non-disclosure.

While claiming to be the least racist person you’ll ever meet, Trump “didn’t remember” that he was sued by the Department of Justice for discriminatory practices by refusing to rent apartments to blacks and minorities.

While claiming that he didn’t fire Comey because of the Russia investigation, Trump “didn’t remember” that he stated exactly that in a TV interview seen by millions.

The fact that a sexual assault survivor “didn’t remember” the details surrounding a devastatingly traumatic experience is understood by psychologists, psychiatrists, medical professionals – and anyone with a modicum of intelligence and common sense.

That Republican elephant sure has a selective memory when it comes to what should be remembered – and what should be forgotten when politically convenient.
