Reminder that Hope Hicks joined the Trump Org full time in Aug 2014, three years after Donald began publicly questioning the nationality of our country's 1st black POTUS & a year before he equated Mexican people with rapists. Macy's dropped Donald for that. Hope Hicks stayed. 1/
She joined Donald after four decades of his public scandals including a federal racial housing discrimination case against him. 2/
She stayed with Donald after 15 women including a reporter accused him of sexual misconduct. She stayed with Donald after he threatened to jail his political opponent and paid a $25M settlement to people who said he defrauded them with his crappy "university." 3/
She stayed after he physically mocked a disabled reporter. 4/
She stayed as he discriminated against a religious minority in the form a Muslim ban. She stayed as he called torch-carrying Nazis in Charlottesville "very fine people.” 5/
When pundits let women like Hope Hicks off the hook because pretty, they become a part of the problem. An underrated way of making a more equitable world for women is by holding them just as accountable when they do the wrong thing.
