7 Survivors On What It Means To Have A Man Accused Of Sexual Assault In The White House

Snip:
Now that Donald Trump, a man who’s been publicly accused of sexually assaulting over a dozen women, will be the next president of the United States, Ortega is ready to take action.

For Ortega, that personal call to action meant creating a photo campaign featuring seven WSU students, including herself, who are all survivors of sexual assault. In the coming weeks, the images (shot by local photographer Cynthya Porter) will be turned into posters that will be hung around WSU’s campus. Each poster will feature a photo of a survivor and information about online resources for victims.

Ortega hopes that the campaign, which she created for her Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies minor, will foster conversations surrounding sexual assault on WSU’s campus.

They are entitled to commit the abuse. The abuse needs to stop, and frankly it does not matter to me if it has been by president elect it is wrong.

The fact that millions have voted for such a person has seemed like a hard slap in the face, and seemed to have trigger a dark time for her.

most republiKKKans could give a damn. Hell this news about trumpfuhrers perversions was know by many, yet he is now POTUS. The RW voter could give a damn about all not in trumpfuhrers camp.

B.S No JFK was not a racist hateful person who tried to agitate the levels of hate 40million plus ameriKKKans have now. Yes he was sexually, a very active adulterer. SO goddamn what. That's was no where near the POS that is POTUS in waiting now. Bill Clinton? Please get some real equivalence going here. Done with that. Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings...false equivalent again. This POS POTUS in waiting, is adulterer, racist, sexist, con man, circus barker and the people who voted for this unprepared POS are just as bad.

Not saying any of those mentioned, by the distracting/diversion trio, were right in their dalliances they just did not appear as evil and perverted as the POS POTUS in waiting coming our way Jan 20, 2017....this fuck is downright evil, pathologically sociopathic, maybe given the right stress as POTUS potentially psychotic and definitely narcissistic to boot. Nah!!!!!!!!
