Melania opens up about everything from that INFAMOUS “I Don’t Really Care, Do U?” jacket, to the #MeToo movement.
What she had to say about the movement was spot ON.
“I support the women, and they need to be heard,” Melania says in the interview. “We need to support them, and you know, also men, not just women.”
YES.
For some reason our society has decided that women are always victims and men are always victimizers. Why is that?
Melania acknowledges that while accusers need to be heard… those accused should not be automatically demonized with no corroborating evidence.
According to Daily Wire:
In her upcoming interview with Tom Llamas of ABC, Melania Trump endorsed the #MeToo movement insofar as the accusers can produce “hard evidence” to support their claims. The FLOTUS also tacitly endorsed her husband and stepsons’ call to support accused men as well.
The First Lady’s words echo that of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who had defended America’s founding principles of due process and the presumption of innocence.
“I do stand with women, but we need to show the evidence,” Melania said. “You cannot just say to somebody, ‘I was sexually assaulted,’ or, ‘You did that to me,’ because sometimes the media goes too far. The way they portray some stories, it’s not correct. It’s not right.”
No, it’s not.
Sexual assault HAPPENS. False accusations HAPPEN. We need to be aware and vigilant of BOTH. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again… I believe the #MeToo movement’s eagerness to “believe all women” and condemn all potentially inappropriate actions as “sexual abuse” has actually set true victims BACK.
The full interview with airs Friday, and I can’t WAIT to watch.
