Life All (?) The Women Trump Has Groped
So, uh, Trump. As should not come as any surprise, but somehow kind of does, Donald’s “locker room” talk about non-consensually grabbing women’s genitalia was not, as he’d claimed during the second presidential debate, merely “words.” A candidate who had thus far come across as casually (if professionally) misogynistic (fat-shaming, ogling) has now crossed over…
