Donald Trump’s Harassment of a Teenage Girl on Twitter Led to Death and Rape Threats

Happened all the time around here.

Trump defended himself, and Batchelder took the mic again, asking if she’d get equal pay and access to abortion with Trump as president. Trump answered: “You’re going to make the same if you do as good of a job, and I happen to be pro-life, okay?”

Batchelder thought that was the end of it, but when she woke up the next day, she realized that the current president-elect had sent out a series of tweets about her. “The arrogant young woman who questioned me in such a nasty fashion at No Labels yesterday was a Jeb staffer!” he tweeted. (Batchelder is not, and has never been, a staffer for Jeb Bush, though she did volunteer for his campaign.) His followers replied with screenshots of Batchelder and posted her phone number and other personal information online.

If she was working for Jeb Bush, as is stated above, she is a staffer.

Was it Donald Trump who published her name and phone number?  IF NOT, how did HE do this?

What difference does it make if she's a teenager?  If she's playing with the big dogs, doesn't she have to expect to be responded to as a big dog?

Is this the best you have to whine about?

You lost, let it go!

Disgusting and sickening are the words for it, all right, except add terrifying.  At my age I can't afford to wish my years away but I can't help longing for the next four years to be behind us -- IF we survive that long.
