“This guy has got to be the toughest guy to take the kind of abuse that he’s taking.” “I have no idea who these women are.” “They said nothing happened. Everybody said nothing happened.” Well before the #MeToo movement gained momentum, Donald Trump weighed in on allegations against several well-known men, including himself. A look at his past statements show a man who’s quick to defend other men. “He says he’s innocent. And I think you have to remember that.” The president recently vouched for Rob Porter, a White House aide who is accused of physical and verbal abuse by two ex-wives. Porter denies the allegations. Trump also defended Roy Moore, the former Republican Alabama Senate candidate. Moore is accused of sexual misconduct against teenage girls. “Well, he denies it. Look, he denies it. I mean, if you look at what is really going on, and you look at all the things that have happened over the last 48 hours, he totally denies it.” President Trump then campaigned for Moore. “So get out and vote for Roy Moore.” Five women received settlements after making harassment claims against Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. He was later forced off the network. O’Reilly denied the allegations. This is what the president said. “‘He’s a person I know well — he’s a good person,’ adding, ‘I think he shouldn’t have settled. I don’t think Bill did anything wrong.’” In 2016, a reporter accused Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski of grabbing and bruising her arm at a campaign rally. “A lot of people are looking and saying, how can anybody be charged? He was — she was actually — if you look at her, my look at, and according to a lot of — she’s grabbing at me, and he’s acting as an intermediary and trying to block her from doing that.” There have been moments when Trump has come out against men accused of sexual misconduct. But it’s typically only happened when they’re political rivals. The president slammed former Senator Al Franken, a Democrat, after a photo surfaced of him appearing to grope a woman. “The Al Frankenstein picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words. Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 ...” Trump also criticized Harvey Weinstein, a major Democratic Party donor, after allegations that he engaged in rampant sexual harassment and abuse. “I’ve known Harvey Weinstein for a long time. I’m not at all surprised to see it.” And then there’s the president, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. Like many of the men he defends, Trump denies the allegations. “Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never.”
