Hey Nikki, "Just Say It" - Trump is a Rapist
You said Biden is "too old" - so why are you afraid to say Trump is a Rapist?
On Meet the Press, Kristen Welker asked Nikki Haley if Trump should be “disqualified” for raping E. Jean Carroll.
On Friday, a jury ordered Donald Trump to pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83 million in damages for defamation. As you know, this was a year after a different jury found him liable for sexual abuse. You have said and you repeated here, "Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not." But let me just ask you, on the substance of the jury's ruling, should that be disqualifying to be president?
Haley did everything in her power to avoid calling Trump a rapist - instead focusing on the legalities of “disqualification.”
I think the American people decide who should be disqualifying. I've always thought – it's the same thing with the RNC picking the nominee. We don't need to take over anything that the American people have the right to do. I think that – I have always said I think Donald Trump has the right to be on the ballot. I've always said I trust the American people. They know how to make good decisions. And so, I think that they're going to see this for what it is. They see that he's completely distracted. They see that he's going on these rants about how he's the victim. And I think that's exactly what we don't need a strong leader to be. And so, you know, these court cases are going to keep happening one by one. We're going to keep seeing him in a courtroom, and we're going to see him come out and do a press conference. That's not what you want a president to be. But more than that, that's not what we want Russia to see. That's not what we want China to see. And that's not what we want Iran to see…
I absolutely trust the jury. And I think that they made their decision based on the evidence. I just don't think that should take him off the ballot. I think the American people will take him off the ballot. I think that's the best way to go forward, is not let him play the victim. Let him play the loser. That's what we want him to do at the end of the day…
I don't think he should be taken off the ballot. I think the American people will decide if he's disqualifying or not. We don't do that, Kristen, in America. Anybody that wants to run can run. And I think that's really important. We have seen a lot of people try and infringe on our freedoms and our democracy. We can never let that happen. I don't want a political party deciding who's right and wrong. I don't want, you know, any judges who decide who deserves to be on the ballot and who doesn't. I want the American people to decide it. The heartbeat of America is our democracy. Let's let the American people decide who they want to lead this country.
Haley spills a total of 390 words to avoid the one word that counts: Rapist.
The closest she gets is to say “I absolutely trust the jury.”
Which of course, isn’t the same as saying Trump is a Rapist.
When it comes to President Biden, Haley doesn’t mince words
“I’ll just say it - Biden is too old.”
Haley doesn’t obliquely say “I agree with the actuarial tables that people over 80 have a significantly higher risk of death.”
She goes right for the jugular.
So why doesn’t Haley “just say it” - Trump is a Rapist.
The answer is obvious - Haley is afraid to call Trump a Rapist, because she’s afraid of being attacked by Trump.
Of course, Trump advisor Jason Miller attacked her anyway
If she’s going to be attacked for avoiding the issue, she should should show some guts and use the issue - by calling Trump a Rapist.
Update 1: For those who dispute the label “Rapist,” Judge Lewis A. Kaplan already settled that question last July.
“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.
He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”
The polite term is “digital penetration” - using his fingers instead of his penis.
But Trump doesn’t use polite terms, so here’s how he would describe it.
Update 2: E. Jean Carroll doesn’t mince words
