In the wake of allegations of sexual harassment against Harvey Weinstein, some on the right are trying to minimize the allegations against President Trump, implying that Weinstein's offenses are much worse.
In response, Judd Legum, editor and founder of Think Progress, took to Twitter to refresh our memories of all the women who came forward with allegations against Trump leading up to last year's election.
\u201c1. When Trump became president, people stopped talking much about the numerous women who alleged he sexually assaulted them.\u201d— Judd Legum (@Judd Legum) 1507573216
\u201c2. But just because he's president, doesn't make these women unimportant. Seems like a good time to remember each one.\u201d— Judd Legum (@Judd Legum) 1507573216
In an extensive Twitter thread, Legum proceeded to list 14 different cases in which women have come forward and claimed that Trump sexually harassed or even assaulted them.
\u201c3. Ninni Laaksonen, former Miss Finland. \u201cTrump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt\u201d in July 2006.\u201d— Judd Legum (@Judd Legum) 1507573216

Legum's Twitter thread opened up a conversation about sexual assault and why many don't report...
\u201c17. That's the end of this list. These are just the women who have come forward publicly.\u201d— Judd Legum (@Judd Legum) 1507573730
\u201c@LC73179253 @JuddLegum she went into hiding because of all the death threats she received.\u201d— Judd Legum (@Judd Legum) 1507573216

\u201c@delic8flower75 @javajunco @LC73179253 @Catja_F @JuddLegum And then they all said she must have been lying if she dropped the charges...\u201d— Sarah Sinesh (@Sarah Sinesh) 1507585300
\u201c@TaraSeanan @delic8flower75 @LC73179253 @Catja_F @JuddLegum Fear of attacks like this ^^ keep many women from reporting or even talking about sexual assault. Those who can somehow do so are v brave.\u201d— pjwould \ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc9b\ud83c\udf3b (@pjwould \ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc9b\ud83c\udf3b) 1507586238
And of course there's this:
Many on Twitter noted the real double standard for sexual predators between the right and left...
\u201cDemocrats put Weinstein in the doghouse. Republicans put Trump in the White House. https://t.co/KtvYpDYsCn\u201d— shauna (@shauna) 1507677095
\u201cBill Cosby: lost his career\nBill O'Reilly: lost his tv show\nHarvey Weinstein: lost his company\n\nDonald Trump: STILL the fucking PRESIDENT.\u201d— Mikel Jollett (@Mikel Jollett) 1507672296
