Opinion: Trump Is a Misogynist’s Ideal Feminist
I wouldn’t describe Hillary Clinton as a particularly sympathetic character. And yet, I feel for her.
The most humiliating moments of her life—her husband’s infidelity, her loss to the least qualified presidential candidate in history—are never quite out of the news. And ever since a jury of his peers found Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony counts, the familiar chant of “lock her up” has had a pronoun swap. As liberals call for Trump to be locked up (he likely won’t be, but a lib can dream), we’re reminded of those same calls in 2016.
In one of his more egregious lies, Trump recently denied ever having said “lock her up.” This is absurd, as there’s video evidence. His lies are too blatant to waste time discussing the veracity: the only interesting question is why.
