Trump wants to force raped women to have children

MSNBC host Joy Reid told Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) that president-elect Donald Trump’s Picks send a disturbing message to women survivors of rape: “They are out to get me and force me to have children through sexual assault.”

The selection of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to become Trump’s attorney general was fulfilled of almost universal shock on Wednesday many reasonsnot least the cloud of scandal that Gaetz saw resign just in time for the publication of a House Ethics Committee reports, among other things, research into ‘sexual misconduct’.

On Thursday edition from MSNBC The ReidOutReid asked AOC about Trump’s choices, noting that the woman who accuses Gaetz of sexually trafficking her when she was a minor is likely “terrified” at the prospect of Gaetz as AG:

REID: Let me ask you this question because we’re talking about RFK Jr. have had. I’m a little surprised. I mean, I – we knew Donald Trump was going – was going to go wild. There are no limitations for him. He can just… he can put all his friends in there.

But we’re talking about RFK Jr., and the possibility of people pulling back on the measles vaccines, about another pandemic. You’re talking about Matt Gaetz.

There is a 17-year-old girl who is terrified that all her data, all the witnesses against him in this case where she was trafficked, could be in the hands of Matt Gaetz and that he could be the most powerful law enforcement officer in the world. country, in a case where the President of the United States is a convicted sex abuser.

When you’re a sexual assault survivor, you think, Oh my God, this country is out to get me. They are out to get me and force me to have children through sexual abuse.

So the message to women was crazy, okay? And the people he nominates are TV presenters and so on.

Do you think the people who voted for him and you spoke to expected this?

OCASIO-CORTEZ: No. No.

REID: Or actual mass deportation.

OCASIO-CORTEZ: Really – really?

REID: Yes.

OCASIO-CORTEZ: No. And it’s actually heartbreaking. It’s – it’s heartbreaking. And people might want to take a kind of vindictive attitude about this, but it’s really heartbreaking.

People need to understand that there are people, millions of people in this country, and I was one of them, where you work two, three shifts a day to try to make ends meet. You don’t read the newspaper every morning with a cup of coffee.

REID: Yes.

OCASIO-CORTEZ: That’s not true. And that doesn’t mean that people are uneducated or uninformed or anything like that.

REID: Not all at once.

OCASIO-CORTEZ: Like this is real life.

REID: Yes.

OCASIO-CORTEZ: This is real life.

You have a baby on your hip and you have two, three shifts, you work that way, and you try to make things work, and you have such an overwhelming amount of information. And I actually think what’s different about this moment than I saw, whether it was 2020 or 20 – after 2016, is that almost, just the day after, people immediately came to me and said, he’s not really going. to do that, right?

And it’s important to say, people – people often say, he said he was going to do this. It was right here on the campaign trail.
