There should be support for women accusing Trump

It is time for our elective officials to seek the removal of President Trump, and support the evidence from female victims, recordings and witnesses of President Trumps predatory behaviors towards women who have come forward publicly.

President Trump dismisses his locker room talk caught on tape, where he states he can grab woman ... because he is such a celebrity. In the legal world, this tape should be used to support possible criminal charges for the women coming forward.

Men and women need to get in touch with their hearts, and God’s equality in each of us. Just because Trump denies the allegations, and continues to spew rhetoric and propaganda, does it dismiss his actions he is avoiding? Ethically, men all around him displaying similar behaviors are forced out of their positions. Why isn’t President Trump held to this standard?

Washington’s people need to stand as a beacon for the nation and move forward to have President Trump removed on ethics and possibly criminal charges. Do the right thing and contact our elected officials, so we can end the sexual predatory behaviors in our culture and set boundaries and expectations. Your mother, sister, wife and daughter are waiting for this change to occur. The world is also watching.
