Values voters say they can look past Trump bragging about sexual assault
Source: Think Progress
WASHINGTON, D.C. President Trump was welcomed at the annual Values Voters Summit with standing ovations from religious conservatives who said theyre willing to look past his personal behavior, religious beliefs, and indiscretions.
Hes an answer to our prayers, said Mandeville, Louisiana-resident Denise Hopkins. Hopkins told ThinkProgress that at first she was skeptical of Trump, who was not the candidate she thought she would support, but sometimes God surprises us.
Hed been a Democrat, hed been a liberal guy, she said. I was looking for a conservative constitutionalist. But were all a work in progress.
With his speech on Friday, Trump became the first sitting president to speak to the Values Voters Summit, an annual conference hosted by the Family Research Council (FRC). The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated FRC a hate group because of its denigration of LGBTQ people.

Today is Friday 13th, and he still is a "SEXUAL PREDATOR" and TRAITOR
And today this is what was said by two woman.....................
He sometimes doesnt say things in the most artful form, but then two or three days or a month later, its like, you know, hes got good instincts, Hopkins said.
Susan Blake, who came to the summit from South Florida for the fifth year in a row, said the president has redeemed himself with the help of good, Christian people in his life, like Vice President Mike Pence."
Now Hopkins and Blake, if your daughter came home and said someone tried to do what this "SEXUAL PREDATOR" did what would have done, say that it's good instincts............it's okay...............I don't think so, and as for and Mike Pence is also a TRAITOR

Privately, he's laughing at these fools.

(34,386 posts)goddamned CHILD SEXUAL PREDATOR as late as 2009, walking in on naked teenage Miss Teen USA contestants. Not to mention the 13 women who accused him of predatory sexual advances and outright assault. If they condone that, they have no morals, values, or conscience at all. He mirrors their hatred and prejudices. That's why they love him.

(3,847 posts)".... conservative constitutionalist. But were all a work in progress.
So when Bill Clinton had an extra martial affair, it was the greatest sin know to man. The Orange asshole sexually assaults numerous women over decades, but that's okay. Then again she from Mandeville, La., it's a superb of NOLA, it is a village that is filled white flight citizens. So I guess if her daughter gets assaulted or raped it'll be okay, 'cause the monster is a work in progress. Right?

(5,801 posts)that would help people and improve the country, they could point to that as evidence that now he is doing good works.
Instead, he is turning the U.S. Government into an enemy of the people and acting in ways that will hurt millions while enriching the wealthy. So, he is using his office to do harm, continuing the dysfunction and wreckage that have been his hallmarks all his life.
And no, supposedly protecting some fetuses does not make up for pushing policies that will kill and hurt millions.

(11,686 posts)how they would feel if trump raped their 13 year old daughter. Would they be proud it was THEIR daughter that got raped by him. Would they start blaming their daughter for "doing something wrong to trump?' Would they tell their terrified daughter it is gods will? Would they tell her it is a blessing to be raped by trump?
