While listening to a couple of Fox News pundits commiserate about the lack of "positive coverage" President Trump receives, I thought, "What do they expect?" During Donald Trump's 2016 presidential run, a videotape surfaced of his boasting that because of his stardom, "I can grab a woman by the p----y... do whatever I want."
Today, Trump's presidency lies in the wake of that vile remark. Any subsequent press coverage must languish within its shadow, whose reflection captures the true nature of the man.
The other day, I watched "Outnumbered", a Fox News program co-hosted by Harris Faulkner. Faulkner - who, along with her husband, raises two young girls - is a staunch Trump defender. Yet, according to her own statements on that very show, she is also a fierce mom when it comes to her girls. One must, then, wonder how this woman reconciles her position on Fox (which is obviously important to her) with maternal instincts? Trump will pass from the political scene, probably sooner than later. But, Harris will ever be reminded - perhaps haunted - of her impulse to paint positive images of President Trump despite his profound misogyny.
Imagine how Harris Faulkner must flinch each time she is reminded of how willingly she turned a blind eye to a bully who, with one foul blast, eviscerated the dignity of young girls everywhere.
