In Washington, D.C., a women’s advocacy group set up a giant TV screen on the National Mall Friday and looped a 2005 video showing Donald Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women. The 12-hour protest was organized by the group UltraViolet on the first anniversary of the release of the “Access Hollywood” video in which Trump boasts, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. … Grab ’em by the pussy.” This is UltraViolet campaign director Emma Boorboor.
Emma Boorboor: “We want to remind the American people who the president really is and who he said he was on that tape: a proud, self-professed sexual predator. … This is a prime example of how, when you elect a man who is very hostile towards women, that he’s now in office actively pursuing an anti-woman agenda.”
Friday’s protest came on the same day that President Trump ended a federal requirement that employer-based health insurance cover the cost of women’s birth control.
