Trump will hold a FOX "town hall" exclusively with women voters on Tuesday October 15th in Georgia.
It will not be broadcast live. Instead, it will be shown on FOX on Wednesday morning. Which will give FOX the opportunity to edit it, something Trump is demanding CBS lose its license for, after it interviewed Kamala Harris.
Moderator Harris Faulkner said in a press release, “Women constitute the largest group of registered and active voters in the United States, so it is paramount that female voters understand where the presidential candidates stand on the issues that matter to them most. I am looking forward to providing our viewers with an opportunity to learn more about where former President Trump stands on these topics.”
Oh, but we know already where he stands. Looming menacingly behind Hillary Clinton. Smirking about Michelle Obama's gender. Raping E Jean Carroll in a dressing room. Cheating on his pregnant wife with a porn star. After he cheated on his previous wife with her. And cheated on his previous wife with HER. Mocking his own daughter on national radio with lustful comments. Bragging about walking in on teenage beauty pageant contestants while they changed. Calling white women "dumb" and Black women "nasty". And now "filthy" too.
We knew where he stood in the Oval Office when he appointed 3 Supreme Court Justices and countless judges dedicated to overturning Roe and women's rights. Where he STILL stands in defending "states rights" to even take women's lives. Or to jail them, along with anyone who helps them get access to basic healthcare. Or to prevent them from crossing state lines. Or to even monitor their own body's cycles.
We know where he stands when he says he will be women's PROTECTOR. He is casting himself in the role of our powerful overlord. Not protecting, CONTROLLING. CONFINING.
With the elimination of DEI and Affirmative Action in colleges and business, with the curtailing of equal public school educations and opportunities through extra-curricula activities from the elimination of the Department of Education, with the Violence Against Women Act voted down, and government safety net support programs cut, and the Equal Rights Amendment buried for good, we know where Trump stands on women.
We might as well be living in a burqa under a Christian Nationalist Taliban, under Trump.
And we will be.
We know where WE stand. 52% of American voters are WOMEN. It is time for us to STAND UP.
We did it before. We stood up to "male chauvinist pigs" like Trump 50 years ago, with far less power, in far less numbers, than we have NOW. We WON. It is time to STAND UP AGAIN. NOBODY STANDS ON US.
We are NOT going back. WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN.
