The First Lady of the United States:
The men that you and I know don't treat women this way, they are loving fathers who are sickened by the thought of their daughters being exposed to this kind of vicious language about women. They are husbands and brothers and sons who don't tolerate women being treated and demeaned and disrespected. And, like us, these men are worried about the impact this election is having on our boys who are looking for role models for what it means to be a man.
In fact, someone recently told me a story about their 6-year-old son who one day was watching the news, they were watching the news together, and the little boy out of the blue said, "I think Hillary Clinton will be president." And his mom said, "well why do you say that?" And this little 6-year-old said, "because the other guy called someone a piggy." And he said, "you cannot be president if you call someone a piggy." So even a 6-year-old knows better. A 6-year-old knows that this is not how adults behave, this is not how decent human beings behave, and this is certainly not how someone who wants to be president of the United States behaves.

Trump supporters to get even uglier. How dare a black woman say they're behaving badly!

However, what is the alternative? Silence?

Gandhi was once asked what he thought of the American civilization. He smiled and said, "I think it's a great idea."

Not American civilization
