Staying classy - the Women's march on D.C.

| No Comments

When you have 500,000 people gathered there will always be some outliers but still, they should not be those people behind the microphones. From The London Daily Mail:

Ashley Judd and Madonna go low at women's march: Singer says she wants to BLOW UP the White House in F-word-filled speech as actress says 'Hitler' Trump has 'wet dreams' about Ivanka
Tempers ran high as more than half a million marchers took to Washington D.C. on Saturday to oppose Donald Trump's new presidency - with both Madonna and Ashley Judd spewing lewd rants against the new President.

The Hollywood actress and the pop star departed from the general spirit of inclusivity and calls for mutual respect with personal attacks not only on Trump but also his family, including daughter Ivanka.

They say well-behaved women rarely make history, and Judd clearly took that quote to heart as she recited a poem written by a 19-year-old from Tennessee.

More at the site including the relevant lines from this "poem" - this is beneath dignity. It is one thing to criticize and slander someone holding public office. Their spouses are also fair game. We have never had a time when the media has declared open season on the children. Even during the G.W. Bush's daughters 'wild years', comments were far and few between and those events (DUI arrests, etc.) happened several years before his election.

Dr. Susan Berry has an observation at Breitbart:

Anti-Trump Marchers ‘Mostly White’ Women Who Need ‘Therapy’ After Clinton Loss
The tens of thousands of women marching in the anti-Trump Women’s March on Washington demonstration in Washington, D.C., Saturday are “mostly white” and experiencing “therapy” for their anxiety over Hillary Clinton’s election loss to Donald Trump in November, the Washington Post reports.

According to the Post:

Marchers — mostly women and mostly white — said they came to take the most public possible stand against Trump, a candidate and now president whom they said routinely insults women and the issues they care about. But the gathering also provided therapy for many, the balm of immersing themselves in a like-minded sea of citizens who had shared their anxiety and disappointment after Democrat Hillary Clinton’s historic bid for the presidency ended in defeat.

Nice to see the left accepting their defeat with such humility and grace. Also nice to see them offering constructive criticism - ideas on how to Make America Even Greater Together.
