Female supporter: Trump's sexual assault accusers need to 'get over it'

Source: The Hill

A Donald Trump supporter interviewed by CNN says women who have recently accused the Republican presidential nominee of sexual assault need to "get over it."

Carol Robertson made the comments at a Trump rally in Eau Claire, Wis., on Tuesday that CNN and other national outlets were covering live.

CNN's Randi Kaye asked the woman about Trump's comments captured by NBC's "Access Hollywood" in 2005 that included him boasting about grabbing women by the genitals.

“I think those women need to grow a set, personally,” Robertson said while waiting to see Trump at the rally. “You know, it’s been a lot of years. Get over it.”

Fundamental evangelical christians suck. They long for a cult leader, and they found one. It makes no sense, but it's not suppose to. It's a cult.

They obviously have problems dealing with our society if they think Turnip is okay.

Are the greatest threat to women's rights!!!! And it seems that the vast majority of them are Republican, conservative and Christian!!!

They should not be ignored, they should be put into the light every time they make statements like this!

Phyllis Schlafly is dead, but the ignorance lives on.

People like this should be ridiculed, pointed at, laughed at.

But not given air-time...

The point is that Trump is a pervert and should not be president.

most of them have gotten over it, but are still willing to go public in order to alert the rest of us to the ugly character of this man.

The one woman who say Trump's like God, a "benevolent father." That's the wishful thinking: a strong man who will take care of us, someone for us to serve unquestioningly. It fits with the patriarchal demand for women's subservience based on women's sinful nature; after all, it was Eve who tempted Adam with the apple... somehow Trump fits better with the stories in their minds.
