Trump implies Sen.

Then I put this hand there, and I grabbed her here

Donald Trump started the day with a demeanment 2-in-1 in which he waved off both the Russia investigation and the voices of the seventeen (and counting) women who had spoken up about his sexual harassment.

Despite thousands of hours wasted and many millions of dollars spent, the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia - so now they are moving on to the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don’t know and/or have never met. FAKE NEWS!

Yes. The Russia investigation has turned up nothing—except for the four indictments and noose that’s tightening around Trump’s floppy red tie. And the women are all part of fabricated stories, like the one Trump admitted to during the campaign. Women he never met: including multiple contestants in the Miss USA or Miss Universe contest he definitely met, a former contestant on The Apprentice he definitely met, a worker in Trump Tower he definitely met, a Mar-a-Lago guest he definitely met, and his ex-wife.

But in case it wasn’t clear just what Trump thinks of women in general, he followed his first tweet with an attack on Senator Gillibrand in which he makes his views crystal clear.

Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED! Women are just weak, clingy servants for men, and are willing to do anything to get their money. And once they’ve been paid off, you own them. In other words, he’s calling a senator a whore. Because she’s a woman. Is that clear enough?

The reason Trump is bringing this up today is because three of the women who have accused Trump renewed their calls for action this week, including Jessica Leeds who accuses Trump of assaulting her on a place so aggressively that she was forced to spend much of the flight hiding.

And it’s not just Kirsten Gillibrand calling on Trump to resign or face investigation.

More than 50 female Democratic lawmakers on Monday asked the House oversight committee to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against President Donald Trump.

In a letter to committee chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the Democratic Women’s Working Group wrote that the country deserves “a full inquiry into the truth of these allegations.”
