Gretchen Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Samantha Bee and many other women took to social media Tuesday to condemn assertions by Eric Trump that a “strong, powerful” woman like his sister Ivanka Trump wouldn’t “allow herself” to be sexually harassed at work.

Donald Trump’s second son drew accusations of “victim-blaming” and of spreading the “toxic masculinity” that runs in the Trump family in comments he gave Tuesday to Charlie Rose of CBS This Morning.

Carlson, whose lawsuit for sexual harassment against former Fox News chief Roger Ailes led to Ailes’ downfall at the network, posted in response to Eric’s comments: “Sad in 2016 we’re still victim blaming women. Trust me I’m strong.”

Fox News star anchor Kelly, who is reportedly part of the harassment case against Aisles, just posted “Sigh” alongside a recap of Eric’s comments.

Meanwhile, Bee, host of TBS’ “Full Frontal” satirical news show, posted an infamous 2011 photo of Eric and his brother Donald Trump Jr., holding up a cheetah they killed during an African hunting trip. She quipped: “She was asking for it. A strong cheetah would never allow itself to be subjected to getting shot.”

Eric Trump was on CBS This Morning to, among other things, clarify controversial comments his father, the GOP presidential candidate, had previously made in trying to defend Ailes — of all people.

Ailes was forced to step down in the wake of multiple sexual harassment allegations against him.

In talking to USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers, the would-be leader of the free world offered up how he would advise his daughter to deal with being sexually harassed by a man with power over her — someone like his reported friend Roger Ailes.

Trump said: “I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case.”

That comment also drew accusations of victim blaming, as well as the observation that most women who are supporting themselves or families aren’t in the position to just leave a job and find another.

Ivanka Trump, on the other hand, is very much in the position to come and go from a job as she pleases. She works for the company her father runs, she runs her own companies and she’s the wife of a very wealthy man born to a wealthy family.

It seemed that during his interview with Rose, Eric Trump hoped to soften his father’s rhetoric in order to gain favor with women voters. Women voters overwhelmingly have an unfavorable view of Donald Trump, according to numerous polls.

Eric, therefore, tried to sound less patronizing and ignorant about the complex power dynamics surrounding sexual harassment.

He only succeeded in making his father and himself look more patronizing and clueless than ever. He started out by saying, “There is no question that (sexual harassment) should obviously be addressed, and it should be addressed strongly … that is an absolute no-go anywhere, and that’s very much the case.”

But then he stuck his foot in it as he tried to clarify his father’s points about Ivanka’s response to hypothetical abuse: “I think what he’s saying is, Ivanka is a strong, powerful woman, she wouldn’t allow herself to be subjected to it, and by the way, you should take it up with Human Resources.”

And he continued to grind his foot down it into further: “She definitely would (address it with HR) as a strong person. At the same time I don’t think she would be subjected to that.”

He ended by asserting: “I think that’s the point (my father) was making and I think he did so well.”

“It is official, every member of @realDonaldTrump family are clueless,” posted a Twitter user, Azadeh Aalai, a professor of social psychology and blogger for Psychology Today.

“No words for how desk-tippingly mad I am about Eric Trump’s bit on how a ‘strong’ women wouldn’t ‘allow herself’ to be sexually harassed,” posted a woman from Virginia.

A male Twitter user called Eric’s words “ignorant and vile,” as if “it’s a woman’s choice to be sexually harassed.”

Washington Post writer Janell Ross explained how Trump father and son were engaging in classic “victim-blaming” with such comments. Citing a 1966 work by University of Kentucky behavioral scientist Michael Lerner, Ross described the phenomenon of victim blaming: that the more a victim has suffered, or the deeper that suffering becomes, the more critical people become and the more likely they are to view the victim as culpable. Victim blaming often occurs when people in power in various situations blame others less fortunate for their own hardships, Ross explained.

Later in the morning, Eric Trump tried to clarify his botched clarification on CBS This Morning by tweeting: “I said sexual harassment is a ‘no go’ and should be addressed by Human Resources. It’s totally unacceptable behavior.”

He just botched things further, with users saying he continues to sound “tone deaf” and “clueless.” Some said “that’s enough Eric” and exhorted him to “just stick to your day job please.”
