Sarah Huckabee Sanders |
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is once again under attack, but then
again, so is every top female player in the White House since Rob Porters resignation
following past domestic violence complaints brought to light by two of his ex-wives.
Some cannot be surprised! These women have a job to protect
and no I am in no way their advocate as I hate all things about our present
government status and those who support it. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is just a
pawn caught up in the web of a scrupulous, male chauvinist, egotistical; moron
we call number 45 because labeling him as our President is just too nauseating.
Rob Porter is just another person within their ranks that
ultimately got caught, but he surely will not be the last. Politicians have gotten
away with sexual harassment and or adulterous relationships for centuries.
Their dirty laundry was just kept under wraps till after their deaths or the
victims felt they couldn’t come forward as no one would believe them.

Today sexual harassment, domestic violence and lack of
support is making headlines, and no one is safe. Ivanka Trump, “senior adviser,”
reportedly showed Trump a picture of Colbie Holderness, Porters first wife with
a black eye, but has not publicly come out in defense of the victims. A self-proclaimed
feminist who advocates for women she is certainly not. It is evident who her
loyalty is to and that is her father. Anyone who sweeps this under the rug so blatantly should not be deemed worthy of respect or admiration.
Domestic Violence has been an ongoing issue for decades. I
grew up in a household of abuse and witnessed first-hand what my step dad made
my mother endure during their years together. As Holderness expressed in her op-ed.
Domestic Violence is something no one can detect. Relationships begin nicely,
and the abuse gradually begins, verbally at first, then progresses to physical
abuse. To me this issue is very serious and must be addressed. Porter resigned,
but President Trump still wished him the best in his career. It is evident he didn't care about the victim as he repeatedly said "he wished him well in his future endeavors."
We know where the latest has taken us, and we know the
Republican lackies stance. They will make excuses to just about anything with a
straight face or a smirk. I am glad we have journalists such as Margaret Sullivan
in their faces. They need to remain on their toes, so I hope to God the press
doesn’t back down. Let them continue to make fools of themselves as the voters learn
the truth. Every woman in the White House should be disappointed in themselves
for supporting this. Most of you have children, and they should learn that
abuse is never tolerated.

The cycle once woven sadly continues. My sister fell into
it, the relationship lasted two years before she broke free, but the damage
remained. She is to date incapable of demonstrating love, and with this her
daughter, now thirty-four has also fallen prey to being abused. Her abuser has
even come as far as hitting her in front of her children and telling them “he is
hitting their mom because she needs to be disciplined.” Her children as well as
my niece are now in need of therapy and homeless because being homeless was her
only way to break free. They were not married, and NYC shelters will not let
you obtain a room as a family unit if you aren’t married or provide them with
domestic partnership documentation. Believe it or not she contemplated obtaining
such document with his coaching, but she finally did the right thing, fought
against giving in and they finally parted ways.
As she now struggles to get her life back in track, her three children
have no stability and she is now also pregnant with her fourth. The child of
course, the abusers. I normally do not share such personal circumstances as a
writer, but this weeks resent press focus touched a nerve. All abusers should
be mandated jail time. Today, pictures say a thousand words, and abusers should
be sentenced with one month for each year of abuse if not one year. Preferably
the latter.

Holderness, I commend you for coming forward. I wish you comfort and strength as
you continue to make yourself whole; and Margaret Sullivan, you are so
desperately needed, so never back down.
