CNN asked James Carville why Trump was losing support from women, and James Carville reminded the network that Trump is a rapist.
Carville said: “I mean, I don’t know what else, you’d be more galvanized seeing this guy’s behavior. But we…let’s wait and see. But it stands to reason that he would lose women after this jury came in and found him to be, well, a rapist, to be honest with you. This is what the judge said in the everyday language of the world. It’s not a good thing to run for president and have a jury find out that you raped a woman.

You can see the media bounce and start spinning every time the fact that the judge has made it clear that Trump is a rapist is brought up. There is nothing to be afraid of, corporate media. You can call Donald Trump a rapist.
The fact that much of the media continues to try to normalize Trump by looking the other way is the exact reason why James Carville is right. Any Democrat who turns to the mainstream media when asked about women should use the opportunity to remind the country that Trump is a rapist.
The media won’t talk about it, so the rest of us will have to.
