Melania Trump says sexual assault survivors need to provide ‘really hard evidence’ to be believed

'You cannot just say to somebody you know 'I was sexually assaulted' or 'You did that to me,' because sometimes the media goes too far'


Melania Trump has said she supports victims of sexual assault but they need to provide "really hard evidence" when going public with their accusations.

The first lady discussed the #MeToo movement after Brett Kavanaugh's contentious Supreme Court confirmation battle, in which the 114th justice was accused of sexual assault and sexual misconduct by Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez. The US Senate voted to confirm Donald Trump's second nominee to the nation’s highest court after numerous Republicans said a week-long FBI probe failed to yield conclusive evidence against him. Mr Kavanaugh has denied all the allegations against him.

“I support the women,” she told ABC during an exclusive interview as the first lady travelled around Africa this week. “They need to be heard. We need to support them. And also men, not just women.” She added, “We need to have really hard evidence that if you’re accused of something, show the evidence.”

The first lady attempted to defend herself against critics who allege her position doesn't show genuine support for assault survivors, who often fail to report the crimes out of fear they won’t be believed.

"I do stand with women," Ms Trump said. "But we need to show the evidence." She continued, "You cannot just say to somebody you know ‘I was sexually assaulted’ or ‘You did that to me,’ because sometimes the media goes too far. And the way they portray some stories, it’s not correct. It’s not right."

1. Translation:

So women, and other sexual assault survivors just need to shut the fuck up.

[marybourg]

2. Like the proof she and the creature she lives with

provided that Pres. Obama was born in Kenya.

[Pantagruel]

3. "provide "really hard evidence" "

Like the Access Hollywood video?

[niyad]

4. didn't she defend that as "boys' locker room talk"??

[Midnight Writer]

13. "Hard evidence" like a copy of the check her assaulter gave her to keep quiet.

[Greybnk48]

5. Like her son, Barron? n/t

[Raster]

6. Melanomia knows her scumbag of a husband...

...she's deflecting and obfuscating. Won't work, First Enabler of the United States (FEOTUS).

[niyad]

7. I am soooooooo stealing FEOTUS!!

[Raster]

9. Freely given!

[madaboutharry]

8. She once said this to Joy Behar about President Obama's birth certificate:

"He needs to show the birth certificate, the people want to see the birth certificate."

Melania is a parrot. She repeats whatever Trump tells her to say. Her critical thinking skills are an inch deep.

[fierywoman]

12. An inch? you're way too generous. Maybe a mm!

[madaboutharry]

15. I know I am way too charitable.

Gets me in trouble all the time!

[area51]

10. "Melania Trump says sexual assault survivors need to provide 'really hard evidence' to be believed"

No, Mel needs to provide evidence that she actually has a brain.

[niyad]

11. so true- and to prove that she is not the sexual predator in chief's handler.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

14. Would She Like To Put Her Fingers In The Hand-Holes And Her Hand In The Spear Wound?

That one should enrage the Evangelicals.

[Pathwalker]

16. So...do a Lorena Bobbit on the offending member?

and deliver it to the police? Seriously, Melania...STFU!

[niyad]

17. now THERE is a thought!!

[niyad]

18. . . .

19. Melania Trump married a cretin and most likely knew on some level what his

reputation was with women. After the Access videos she knew for certain and what was the reaction? Melania Trump will never have credibility on this topic, period. She is knowingly enabling her husband, not just Kavanaugh.
