Accused Sexual Predator Trump Mocks '#MeToo Generation' at Rally

Source: The Daily Beast



The president’s remarks came on the same day he officially hired a former Fox News executive who allegedly covered up sexual harassment.

During a rally in Great Falls, Montana on Thursday, President Donald Trump continued to attack possible 2020 opponent, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and in the process insulted the entire #MeToo movement while he was at it.

At one point during yet another rambling speech to supporters, Trump offered the Massachusetts Democrat $1 million, to a charity of her choice, if she could prove that she is Native American. Repeating his favored insult for Warren, Trump said he would apologize to the real Pocahontas, but not to the “fake Pocahontas.”

Previewing a potential debate showdown, Trump “promised” the crowd that he would present Warren with a DNA test. “I’m going to get one of those little kits and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims she’s of Indian heritage — because her mother said she has high cheekbones, that’s her only evidence,” Trump said. “We will take that little kit, but we have to it gently, because we’re in the ‘me too’ generation, so we have to be very gentle.”

The crowd laughed at Trump mimed throwing the “know your heritage” kit at Warren and offering her money if she can prove she’s “an Indian.” The president added that he “has a feeling she will say no” but will wait for the debates to find out.

His words showed the moron didn't even "get" it -- Even his crowd didn't respond.

After his kangaroo supreme court justices work for putin to protect him. He maybe bragging about his escapades soon at his rally's he can get away with whatever he wants as long as they're in place for him and putin. He's so corrupt he was a perfect fit for putin to use against us and this country with. Lets see he's got trump, the gop , and maybe the Supreme Court now too. Come on Mr Mueller, we need you badly now.

How does he think DNA testing works? Is he thinking of a rougher way to get someone's DNA?
