United Nations – U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said on Sunday she believes any woman who has felt violated or mistreated by a man has every right to speak up, even if it is President Donald Trump they are accusing.

Accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior or misconduct have led to the resignations of three members of Congress this month. The growing wave of women reporting abuse or misconduct has brought down powerful men from Hollywood to Washington, from movie producer Harvey Weinstein to popular television personality Matt Lauer.
More than 10 women have accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct before he was president, and Trump, while filming a segment of the television program “Access Hollywood,” said he has kissed and groped women. The tape emerged during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Haley, discussing a cultural shift of women coming forward on the CBS “Face the Nation” program, applauded women who have come forward: “I’m proud of their strength. I’m proud of their courage.”
Asked how people should assess the accusers of the president, Haley said, it was “the same thing.”
“Women who accuse anyone should be heard. They should be heard and they should be dealt with, and I think we heard them prior to the election,” she said. “I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way – they have every right to speak up.”
Whether Trump’s election settled the matter was “for the people to decide,” Haley said.
“I know that he was elected but women should always feel comfortable coming forward and we should all be willing to listen to them.”
How tragic that this wasn’t the attitude exhibited by women in the Clinton administration.
Zalmy, it’s kind of a funny story….but today when I opened the fridge, the eggs fell out. I cleaned them up, but now we’re out of eggs and paper towels.
Groper Trumpf. Liar Flynn. Nazi Sepp Bannon. Dirty Mooch. Exxon Tillie. Policy Neuter Kushie. Spicie. Manafart. Pervert Moore. great team not.
That al molester Franken and old man Conyers were forced to resign because they couldn’t keep their hands to themselves.
By turning up one’s noses and speaking out against Bill Clinton, and now remaining silent with respect to Moore and Clinton, one would exhibit a fluid morality…a non-morality…a position for which I can’t believe there is a Mesorah…a moral position would demand consistency…and yes, that would mean reopening Bill Clinton’s history too.
