A tipster forwarded along a screenshot of a Facebook comment that is just too perfect not to share.

Can you remember how hysterical Republicans were at the very idea their daughters and wives could be groped in the bathroom by trans-women? North Carolina passed a law that endangers transgender citizens. The backlash was so severe it cost the state millions in revenue from lost events and may cost North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory his job.

They howled hysterically about the dangers lurking in bathrooms. Their wives and daughters needed to be protected from sexual predators! They had to carry around their own fainting couches because the mere thought of it gave them the vapors! Oh, my!

And now they stand by a man who has been recorded saying he sexually assaults women and gets away with it because he's famous. Even in last night’s debate he kept downplaying the grotesque comments as "locker room banter" as if everyone does it. The women of America know all too well Donald Trump and Billy Bush are exactly the kind of men we need to be concerned with. They perpetuate rape culture. They enable each other. Want to see how this actual predator behavior affects women? Look at how this young woman reacted after hearing groper Donald Trump downplay his behavior:

Shame, shame, shame on the GOP.

Thank you to the unknown Facebook commenter for the reminder just how conveniently bigoted and hypocritical these Republicans have always been.
