Trump campaign manager: Members of Congress have assaulted women

Kellyanne Conway accused some current and former lawmakers of inappropriate behavior and suggested that she may have been victim to their unwanted sexual advances herself.

“There are members of Congress, current and former, who have rubbed up against women and who have put their tongues in their mouths uninvited,” Conway told Megyn Kelly on Fox News. “Maybe when I was younger and prettier, that may have happened to me.”

Conway’s comments were made after Sunday night’s presidential debate, which came 48 hours after The Washington Post published damning audio of Trump making obscene sexual comments about women.

A flood of GOP lawmakers withdrew their endorsement of Trump and urged him to drop out of the race over the weekend.

But Conway accused some lawmakers of being hypocrites.

If we have "members of Congress, current and former" who are assaulting women, wouldn't the proper response be to out the bastards, find better people to replace them, and get the criminals out of office once and for all...and not to elect one of them president?
