Fox News’ Brit Hume thinks that if you’re an adult film actress, it’s OK if married men try to prostitute you!
Woman who has sex on camera for $ says Trump propositioned her. "This is not acceptable behavior." Please. https://t.co/EpQ04PcuTO

Wow. No wonder no one at Fox News noticed that Roger Ailes was harassing everyone in sight. They seem to have a “Mad Men” mentality towards women. I understand that it’s ironic to see a porn star moralizing about Trump, but if her account is true, then it’s a problem for Trump, who keeps claiming he never harassed anyone.
Not according to Hume, apparently:
First off: That woman has a name, it is Jessica Drake, and yes that is completely unacceptable. Women are not cattle. You cannot purchase us https://t.co/0sYL5efVlO

Good take, Brit. If you are a porn star you have no rights as a human being. I mean that's just science. https://t.co/2zZrVrYizb

How can prominent men in 2016 still get away with saying that sex work is an implicit "yes" to any sort of behavior? https://t.co/Yz1TD3ixKo

He must have noticed some of the response because he added this:
2 be clear, don't think Jessica Drake's line of work makes it ok to kiss her w/o consent. But don't buy her claim of offense at proposition.

I get the point he’s trying to make, but given that he also disparaged his colleague Gretchen Carlson’s accusations against Roger Ailes, this is not a good look for Fox News…
And also remember that it was Trump’s lawyer Mike Cohen who said you can’t be guilty of raping your own wife. Great people, these.
