Letter: Many women say Trump abused them

Evangelical Christians thank Donald Trump for appointing three of the six Supreme Court judges who overturned Roe v Wade last year. The religious right hopes to ban abortion, while ignoring Trump’s many alleged crimes against women. John Kennedy cheated on his wife thousands of times. Bill Clinton cheated a little, and got impeached in the House for it. Only Trump is accused of many sexual crimes.

He is court-ordered to pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll for sexually abusing her in the dressing room of a New York City department store. Trump once bragged he was lewd and lustful with women in his infamous Access Hollywood tape. Trump has denied he suddenly kissed, groped, harassed or raped at least 25 women who have come forward against him. Many were strangers, like Carroll, at the time of their encounters. “He was like an octopus,” Jessica Leeds is quoted in the Palm Beach Post. “His hands were everywhere.” “He can’t get away with this,” added Melinda McGillivray. “I want justice.”

Trump faces 34 felony charges in New York for using $130,000 in campaign funds to pay off porn actress Stormy Daniels. Right before the 2016 election, she threatened to expose his adultery. Sexual purity is an article of faith for conservative Christians. But they allow Trump’s appointment of pro-life judges to trump his long career as a rat with women.
