Sanders Defending the Indefensible
Again - Now Rather Routine
U.S. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley statement on
allegations of sexual assault from Trump accusers, and “The Donald” is pissed –
so I surmise: Bye,
bye Nikki – it’s been nice to know you.
So, now hit the road.
A few details here from The Hill:
President
Trump is reportedly furious with U.S. Ambassador to the United
Nations Nikki Haley for saying that the women who have accused him of
sexual misconduct “should be heard.” (Related story here).
The AP
reported Monday
that Haley’s comments angered Trump as the claims against him have
resurfaced in recent weeks.
“They should
be heard, and they should be dealt with,” Haley
said on “Face the Nation” on Sunday. Then she
added: “And I think we heard from them before the election. And I think any
woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every
right to speak up.”
Note: Two people familiar with Trump told
the AP he was enraged by her remarks.
Trump also has
reportedly grown most frustrated with the claims in recent weeks,
comparing the situation to that of Roy Moore in the Alabama special election for
a Senate seat. Moore as we all know has been accused of committing multiple
sexual transgressions with teenage girls when he was in his 30’s.
Now, three
of Trump’s more than a dozen accusers appear to be united for the first time now sharing details of
the allegations they have made against him during his campaign and before he was
elected president (Note: this is very excuse his loyalists are sticking
to – the line that “the voters knew this before the election and he still won”
yeah, that attitude). However, these women are now demanding that Congress
launch an investigation into their claims following all the national outrage
and other stories all over the news recently.
The White
House in turn form has said that the women are lying. Trump has also
dismissed their claims as “fake news.”
Leading that
W/H pack is of course W/H Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders who always
sticks with the Trump line and one note story: He has denied all those
allegations and the voters knew before hand and trusted him, not the accusers.
Huckabee-Sanders comments and story here from
PBS - her remarks below seen on YouTube:
Huckabee-Sanders on the attack - at the media (as usual)
This
story also broke and it is directly related: “More
than 50 female lawmakers seek probe of Trump misconduct accusations”
My input:
All this right now sounds just like Roy Moore and his
mess and now with Trump himself saying about Moore (recently to the press outside the White House): “He has denied it –
he denies it.” End of his story” etc., etc., yada, yada, and so forth.
So, it is over – or just beginning? We shall see – but
don’t expect much.
Thanks for stopping by.
