Trump says he would 'protect' women, 'whether the women like it or not'

Source: NBC News

Oct. 30, 2024, 11:29 PM EDT


Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he would "protect" women "whether the women like it or not," a comment the Harris campaign immediately pounced on.

Trump said at his rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that his "people" previously told him they did not think he should say that he wanted to "protect the women of our country," comments he has previously made on the campaign trail.

"I said, 'Well, I’m going to do it, whether the women like it or not,'" Trump said. "I’m going to protect them." Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign quickly highlighted his comments on X.

"Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body," Harris said in a post. "Whether you like it or not." A Harris campaign spokesperson, Sarafina Chitika, also said on X that Trump "thinks he knows better than the women of America."

Donald Trump thinks he knows better than the women of America.

To him, our choices don’t matter, our decisions are his to control, and he’s going to ban abortion nationwide whether we like it or not.

It's Halloween, and what an effin' monster. The damage this orange beast has wrought on this country through his exploitation of the fearful, hateful, and gullible is utterly beyond compare.

No woman with ANY sense wants or needs to be protected. We are quite capable of taking care of ourselves when given the opportunity to be treated equally. Your failure to realize - and CELEBRATE that - is your problem, Donald. As it is the problem of all of your dipshit followers who want to take women back to the Stone Age.

Please, everyone - FOR THIS OLD LADY WHO FOUGHT FOR ROE V. WADE - and remembers what it was like before it became law - get out and vote!!!!
