Trump spreads misogynistic insults toward prominent Democratic women, including HRC, Pelosi, Abrams

More specifically:

"Chauvinistic asshole with a long record of saying misogynistic bullshit and who brags about sexually assaulting women, who has been credibly accused of sexual assault and harassment by many, many women, retweets misogynistic insults against prominent Democratic women."

President Donald Trump on Saturday shared a series of messages containing sexist taunts and personal insults against prominent female Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.

In one message shared by the president, John Stahl, a conservative who gathered only 3% of the vote in his bid for election to California's 52nd House district in 2012, called former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a "skank."

...

In another message shared by Trump, Stahl aimed insulting jibes at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Stacey Abrams, who narrowly lost the mid-term race for the governor's office in Georgia, and is a leading contender to be nominated Joe Biden's running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket

PS: Trump retweeting another right-wing asshole calling Hillary Clinton a "skank" is SUCH projection.
