According to Huff Post, Trump claims that the women whoโ€™ve tried to humanize the face of sexual assault by sharing their stories with the senators are merely โ€œvery rude elevator screamers.โ€ He claims that they are being paid by Democratic fundraiser George Soros and other groups.

Trumpโ€™s Friday morning tweet is baseless. It also pushes a far right-wing conspiracy theory that the women who came forward to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual assaultโ€”and the sexual assault survivors whoโ€™ve confronted senators, urging them to vote against the Supreme Court nomineeโ€”are all apart of a massive takedown effort by Democrats to prevent a conservative from joining the highest court in the land. Huff Po reports:

Last week, sexual assault survivors confronted Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) in a Senate elevator. The protests were part of a series of events that helped convince Flake, a key swing-vote senator on Kavanaughโ€™s nomination, to call for an FBI investigation in the claims against Kavanaugh.

In response to Trumpโ€™s tweet, Ana Maria Archila, one of the women who confronted Flake in the elevator and co-executive director for the Center for Popular Democracy, criticized the president for โ€œtrying to ignore the experiences of people in this country by discrediting individuals who dare to raise our voices and force elected officials to listen to our stories,โ€ she said in a statement.

The tweet surprised no one, considering Trump is the same bag of Dr. Pimple Popper extract that launched into a disgusting rant while mocking Kavanaugh accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, during a rally.

Because this bitch is still rallying.
