The true “disgrace”: women journalists like Maggie Haberman, Andrea Mitchell, Mika Brzezenski rushing to defend a woman who lies daily for a misogynist accused of sexual assault by at least 19 women? Stockholm Syndrome? Are they worried about their jobs?! What?! 
This is stunning to watch. I’m Egyptian. I’ve been a journalist in Egypt and I know the consequences and price. I’ve had my arms broken and I was sexually assaulted, among other things. What are those journalists 👆🏽👆🏽afraid of?
I was taken into State Security custody and threatened with jail unless I revealed a source (I wouldn’t), I had my press card confiscated because I refused to stand up as the president walked into a restaurant,my phone was tapped and I was followed, etc. What are 👆🏽afraid of?
I am lucky. I am alive. I am free. Too many journalists in Egypt & elsewhere have been killed or are in jail. And 👆🏽are rushing to defend liar-in-chief of most powerful man in the world. That’s how much access means to them? Do they rush to defend women hurt by Trump policies?
And earlier, I addressed each of those journalists directly by quote tweeting her. They know how I have reacted to their “outrage.” The jpgs I use here are to gather 3 examples at once. It is not a way to avoid addressing them directly.
- It is NOT the job of journalists to defend the spokesperson for most powerful man in the world.
- It is NOT the job of women to defend a woman who lies daily for a racist, misogynist bigot.
- it is NOT the job of the powerful to defend those in power vs those with less power
- It is NOT the job of women to defend a woman who lies daily for a racist, misogynist bigot.

Someone remind me: did any of those (white) women journalists rush to defend fellow (Black) journalist April Ryan when Sean Spicer lashed out at her from the podium?
They’re lining up, competing almost to see who can defend Sarah Sanders the most. American media needs a long and necessary reckoning: how many men reporting the news are being exposed as sexual predators (Brokaw is latest) and how many women are sycophants to those in power?
Truth from Michelle Wolf last night: this is what’s truly upsetting them.
