Trump Ushers In Sexual Assault Awareness Month As Only He Can

It's Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but serial predators gotta stick together!

The embattled Fox News host Bill O’Reilly got powerful backing on Wednesday from none other than the president of the United States, who called him “a good person.” 

Mr. Trump praised Fox News and Mr. O’Reilly, just days after The New York Times reported that the host had been involved in five settlements with women who said he had harassed them. The deals resulted in payouts totaling about $13 million, The Times reported. 

“Personally, I think he shouldn’t have settled,” Mr. Trump said in an interview in the Oval Office with Times reporters. “Because you should have taken it all the way; I don’t think Bill did anything wrong.” 

“I think he’s a person I know well — he is a good person,” Mr. Trump said.

At that point, in a just world he would have burst into a ball of fire and sulfurous smoke.

BONUS: Companies that advertised on O'Reilly's show are dropping him like a hot loofah. Thirty-one by this afternoon, and growing literally by the hour. Looks like they don't agree with Rump.

More Fox Sex Follies

Following on the heels of Gretchen Carlson's suit alleging (!) sexual harassment at the upper levels of Fox "News" =cough= Roger "Jabba the Nut"Ailes =cough=,  former Fox host Andrea Tantaros has filed a sexual harassment suit naming Trump "advisor"Ailes and several other high- profile Foxers:

Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros claims in an explosive new lawsuit that disgraced ex-network chairman Roger Ailes sexually harassed her and that high-ranking executives fostered a newsroom culture in which abusive behavior flourished.  

“Fox News masquerades as defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny,” the suit reads. 

Ailes was “the primary culprit,” according to the suit, but “his actions were condoned by his most senior lieutenants who engaged in a concerted effort to silence Tantaros by threats, humiliation, and retaliation.” [snip]

In the suit, Tantaros also described host Bill O’Reilly ― who, in 2004, settled a high-profile sexual harassment suit leveled by a former producer ― as once asking her to stay with him at a “very private” place in Long Island and expressing a desire to see her “as a wild girl.” 

And former Massachusetts senator and Fox News contributor Scott Brown made “sexually inappropriate comments” about Tantaros, according to the suit, and once grabbed her waist while she was buying lunch.  (our emphasis)

The full text of the lawsuit is at the link and provides plenty of explicit details on the misogynistic, "sex- fueled" culture of the Republican Party's communication outlet.  These are damaged, rotten people, folks.
