        Not just assaulted anyoneā€¦ They assaulted a woman, which seems painfully on-point for so many of the shitheels in that support base.

        ā€œA woman daring to tell us what we can and canā€™t do? How dare she!ā€ You know that shit went through their heads, and probably exited their mouths.

      Actually not too concerned about shaming, but rather, they should get a visit from the FBI, and or appropriate police type persons. Information should be gathered, and charges should be filed. Subsequent court case, etc, etc, given that we live in a civilized society, and we already have procedures for this sort of activity.

        I believe she asked that they not do that out of fear of retaliation.

        Which itself is an issue that needs to be addressed.

      You can probably go down the list of every single person Trump employs in his political team and find heinous shit on all of them.

      In order to work with a PoS like Trump, you kind of have to have a lack of fucks for humankind.
