Senator Elizabeth Warren is now suggesting that Trump slut-shamed Senator Kirsten Gillibrand this morning in a tweet:
Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that, @realDonaldTrump. Nevertheless, #shepersisted. https://t.co/mYJtBZfxiu

The tweet from Trump in question is this one from this morning:
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

When I saw the tweet this morning, I didn’t read into it anything sexual at all. I honestly didn’t think much about it.
But Elizabeth Warren apparently saw something there, but there’s problem in her response.
She accuses Trump of slut-shaming Gillibrand, however in order for Trump to slut-shame Gillibrand, she’d have to actually be a slut.
So in effect, Liz is calling Gillibrand a slut. LOL!
Really though, Democrats like Warren and others in the media today are manufacturing this garbage in order to slam Trump for something he didn’t do. He didn’t actually tweet anything sexually suggestive about Gillibrand.
Now could you call Trump’s tweet bullying or intimidation of Gillibrand? Yes, absolutely.
Whether you agree with him or not, he’s clearly attacking Gillibrand and he’s not picking on a specific policy she supports or vote she made. He’s attacking her in a very ad hominem way and that absolutely qualifies as bullying and intimidation.
But, unfortunately, this isn’t out of the ordinary for Trump which is why I didn’t think much about it this morning.
So yes, Big Chief Liz Warren is partially right in her tweet, but the slut-shaming accusation is just ridiculous…and stupid.
Warren really owes Gillibrand an apology and she also needs to get her mind out of the gutter. That also goes for the rest of the media. Seriously.
