President Trump on Tuesday said it was a good thing that so many women are coming forward to talk about the sexual harassment and assault they’ve suffered at the hands of powerful men.
“Women are very special. I think it’s a very special time, a lot of things are coming out and I think that’s good for our society and I think it’s very very good for women and I’m very happy,” Trump said as he left the White House for a Thanksgiving holiday at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Asked if Sen. Al Franken should resign after the revelation that he sexually abused a model on a USO tour while she was asleep, the president replied, “I don’t want to speak for Al Franken.”
At least a dozen women have accused Trump himself of sexual harassment or assault — charges he has repeatedly dismissed as lies.
