webfact Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 White House adviser Conway: 'I'm a victim of sexual assault' FILE PHOTO: White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway takes part in a forum called Generation Next at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, U.S., March 22, 2018. REUTERS/Leah Millis/File Photo WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Kellyanne Conway, an adviser to President Donald Trump, said on Sunday that she was the victim of sexual assault and that women who survive such experiences should be heard. "I feel very empathetic, frankly, for victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment and rape," Conway told CNN while defending the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, who has been accused of sexual assault by one woman and sexual misconduct by two other women. "I'm a victim of sexual assault," Conway said. Conway and White House officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. The court nomination has been upended by the allegations, and President Donald Trump was forced to order the FBI to look into them after several moderate Republicans, whose votes could be crucial for Kavanaugh's confirmation, called for a probe. One Kavanaugh accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, detailed her allegation in testimony before a Senate panel on Thursday that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when the two were both in high school in the 1980s. Appearing afterward before the committee, Kavanaugh repeated his categorical denial. The swirling allegations have led other sexual assault victims to come forward to tell their stories. Conway suggested on Sunday that the ire of many victims was improperly pointed at Republican supporters of Kavanaugh, as opposed to the perpetrators of the assaults. "It's not a meeting of the Me Too movement," she told CNN. "It's raw partisan politics."

Well, I know a number of very conservative women who would disagree with that statement. I fail to see what her sexual assault has to do with Dr. Ford's or with Kavanaugh's hearing.

EVENKEEL Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Seems like the term "sexual assault" is being used for things like having a boobie touched unwantingly. If that's the case I would imagine the percentage of ladies suffering from sexual assault would be extremely high, close to 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicization and weaponization of her disclosure isn't appropriate and deserves condemnation.

DM07 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 There are so many things wrong with this...I don't even know, where to start! So...let's go! 1) IF this allegation is true, she deserves to be heard! 2) But what she is saying about it (basically victim- blaming and sheltering the sexual predator) is just wrong! 3) IF this really happened to her...how can she stand by and watch all these slimy white guys attack, marginalize and blame women. How can she work for an accused alledged predator like Trump? 4) To stay in line with her "buddy's" arguments in the Republican- party: why didn't she bring forward accusations (and prove) to the police? 5) Name names and witnesses, Kellyanne...and I might believe you! 6) Until then: to use this as a political weapon, is a kick in the face for all women who were actually assaulted or raped and make Mrs. Conway as despicable human being. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
