After "Creepy" Trump Mocks Entire #MeToo Movement, Warren Declares: "You Don't Scare Us. Women Fight Back."
"I can handle a bully," says senator. "But here's the really creepy part: In the same breath, he mocked the entire #MeToo movement. He mocked women who are bravely coming forward and saying that they’ve been harassed and abused by guys just like Donald Trump."

Though she'd already issued one fierce retort for his latest racist and sexist remarks on Thursday night, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wasn't quite finished with her reaction to President Donald Trump for denigrating her Native American heritage while also taking a smug and misogynistic swipe at the #MeToo movement.
Because while Warren said in a fundraising letter to supporters on Friday that she's more than capable of absorbing the personal insults from the president, she said his comments to rally goers in Montana the night before went way past his petty "obsession" with her. She wrote:

Donald Trump isn't just trying to scare me - he's trying to bully all women and make us all shut up. He still doesn't think guys like him should be held accountable for what they say or do.
You know what, Donald? You don't scare us. Women fight back. Women vote, organize marches, knock on doors, make phone calls, run for office - and win. We'll sweep your Republican enablers out of office this November.
And as the women's advocacy group Ultraviolet put it:
\u201cFor those that think that Donald Trump's "Me Too" joke was actually funny, here's a thread on the women who survived Trump's sexual harassment and assault over the decades. The President is an unapologetic sexual predator. \u2b07\ufe0f https://t.co/UKWpZS1Ffk\u201d— UltraViolet has the #ReproReceipts (@UltraViolet has the #ReproReceipts) 1530898439
An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
