violation, even if you want to call them alleged victims of domestic violation because of the stigma attached to them. she was so disheartened by what the women in the white house had said. kellyanne conway saying she doesn t worry about hope hicks because hope hicks is a strong woman. here is what colbie holderness is saying in the op-ed. monday, sarah huckabee sanders again declined to say whether the president believes jennifer will lou by and me. i expected a woman to do better, while i can say i m not surprised. in the white house, what should the president s advisers like kellyanne and sarah sanders be saying to them? well, the first piece of advice is the very first statement out of this white house should be support and sympathy for the victims. that should have been the very first thing. and the fact that the victims are still talking about how this white house has failed to come to their support in any fashion,
situations where they are victims. how sad that is. you have a woman speaking for the white house and another woman who is also involved with a man writing up a note trying to excuse the behavior. tone deaf is not there isn t a better phrase for it. i understand that. i also feel this should not be about gender. whether it was a woman standing because colbie holderness said that, i expected a woman to do better. i understand that. it was in her op-ed. whether it s a woman or a man standing at the podium, it should be the same level of understanding. stick around. when we come back we ll talk about a huge story at the white house that they may be hoping you had forgotten. refusing to release the democrats memo responding to anti-trump bias in the russia investigation.
