Girlfriend wanted some answers to some policy questions, but Donald being Donald was thinking of her as just another contestant for one of his beauty pageants.
Wingnuts, of course, thought that it was perfectly fine: "What's wrong with you liberals? Can't your women take a compliment? This is political correctness gone wild."
Liberals, and normal people, thought that Donald was being sexist and crass, and that the editorial boardroom was no place to try and get your Mack on.
I suspect that even if Donald trump could be mistaken for Idris Elba the reporter would have been offended. It is not cool to try and pull up on a woman who is trying to do her job. Donald should know that. Should.
Here is the story as told by Mediaite:
"
Washington Post‘s Karen Attiah sounded the alarms of sorts this afternoon when she Tweeted out the following cryptic message after a meeting with Donald Trump and the WaPo Editorial Board: "So I got hit on today by Donald Trump."
As you can see from the user engagement on the Tweet, people were quick to follow up on Attiah’s commentary, asking for any clarification on this newly-emerging behavior from the Republican frontrunner.

@KarenAttiah KEEP TALKING AND/OR WRITE A STORY
@HayesBrown writing now
Then Monday night, Attiah — who serves as the Deputy Opinions Editor for the Post — released her story with the headline “I asked Trump a policy question. Then he called me ‘beautiful.’”
Attiah mentioned, and transcribed, some of the policy-related conversation that they had with the Republican frontrunner (“But do you feel that your messages, your rhetoric, are dangerous and divisive for this country?”, seemingly commonplace topics for Trump questioning these days), before detailing the after-meeting exchange she shared with Trump personally:
As the meeting ended and we were walking out of the room, I thanked Trump for taking my question. He turned to me and said, “I really hope I answered your question,” and added casually with a smile, “Beautiful.” I was stunned. I didn’t say thank you, and I don’t think I smiled. He then walked out to meet with my Post colleagues briefly before heading to the elevator. I stayed in the conference room for a few minutes as it sunk in that the potential GOP nominee for president thought it was okay to comment on my appearance. Did he just say that?
…
Perhaps he thought that calling me beautiful would make me ignore the fact that he brazenly lied about his polling numbers among Hispanic voters. Or make me believe that he wasn’t really a racist. Who knows? At least now I know, firsthand, that the sexism that Trump puts on display against Megyn Kelly under the lights of national TV is not that much different from how he is in real life toward female journalists.
Sad." [Source]
Megyn, you might be in luck. Tear up the restraining order. I think that Donald is turning his attention to print media.
Bill Clinton Slams ‘The Awful Legacy of the Last Eight Years’
ReplyDelete“But if you believe we can all rise together, if you believe we’ve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the seven years before that when we were practicing trickle-down economics and no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, then you should vote for her,” Clinton concluded.
Least there is one Democrat willing to tell the truth about the obama years.
Lying-ass bitch. Trump has never been known to have a thing for trannies, so there's no reason he would have "hit on", um, her.
ReplyDeleteAs The God Emperor gets closer to victory, expect leftist trash to get even crazier and more unhinged. I'm loving every minute of it.
GODSPEED, EMPEROR!!!
Even with the processed hair, the skin-bleaching treatments and the contact lenses, that bitch still looks like a street tranny.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder so many black men are on the downlow .... with "women" like that, what's the difference?
Trump hires a blah woman and hits on a blah woman.I thought Trump was racist?
ReplyDeleteHe didn't hit on "her". (My eyes tell me that's a dude.) It's just another psychotic leftist grasping at straws. Just like those sub-moron BLM turds starting fights at Trump rallies and then crying "raysizzum!" when someone dares to fight back.
ReplyDeleteDamn, why y'all hatin' on Black People so much? This Stormfront now? Shit.
ReplyDeleteLiars. You are all liars.
ReplyDeleteDid you all see the video of the Easter Bunny chimpout in Jersey City?
ReplyDeleteBlack America at its finest! Bravo!!!
Awww maann! A simple compliment! and she is beautiful!!! How friggin politically correct can one get???? I mean really! C'mon! Did she also read something into his 'hello' and perfunctory handshake?
ReplyDeleteC'monn! If he hadn't said anything then I suppose she would have said that "she could see in his eyes that he thought her ugly" or some such other bullshit!
My thoughts are that as a reporter, one should report without the bias! It's obvious she's letting her politics dictate how she sees the man!
If Sanders had called her beautiful,(which I bet he wouldn't have even thought to)she would have gushed all over and accepted the compliment! For Pete's sake it's a gotdamned "compliment" she's a reporter and should have some social graces to speak of!!!
Yeezuz Crize!
The Donald took the "racist" narrative, gave it a finishing aikido throw, and got the Minority Grievance Press to publicize its humiliating defeat.
ReplyDeleteThe man is a master of script-flipping. The R-word will ring hollow forever more.
Hollower than Field Negro's head?
ReplyDeleteWhere did all these idiots come from? Can you delete them before publishing? There's no call for such vitriol. I don't know why you put up with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up on this story.
Pool's closed.
ReplyDeleteLOL. White people. That is all.

ReplyDeleteDoes Dr. Ogundu have any spells for driving away racist trolls? It looks like that is what is most urgently needed in this blog's comment section.
@ M.A.G.A./Kinky
ReplyDeleteBill Clinton was talking about Republicans behaving like poop-flinging monkeys over the "last eight years," not Obama's economic policies.
He's a bit optimistic about the nation putting that legacy behind us, though. Wingnut Republicans will always be assholes. That is why Satan created them.
Of course, there is always the hope that Donald Trump will actually destroy the Republican Party. Fingers crossed!
Excellent reply, TMOT: Thank you...
DeleteDAY-UM! If I was 20 years younger & 35 singler I'd make a fool of myself over her too. Did anyone read that interview transcript? It was like he chewed up a huge Wordsalad & vomited it back up in clumps. I read it twice, and I still don't think that he said anything, nothing that he couldn't plausibly say "no, I didn't say that." He's slipprier than a bucket of eels in olive oil.
ReplyDeleteBREAKING: Multiple explosions @ Brussels Airport, dozens killed, Muslims responsible ...
ReplyDeleteAhh, the gifts of Multiculturalism! Aren't we lucky to have all these People of Color in our nations?
" The R-word will ring hollow forever more."
ReplyDeleteI swear to god, the stupidity of this Jimmy Bold guy is an awesome thing to observe.
For all the people who think Trumps comment isn't sexist - walk up the very next white guy you see regardless of who it is and say, "Hi beautiful. You're looking sexy today."
ReplyDeleteThis is akin to nailing a mugger with jaywalking. The LEAST of Trump's dangers to the populace is sexism. Interesting, but not much more than an annoyance, considering. I'd like to hear more abut the black supporter at the Trump rally who tore into the (also black) protestor with fists and feet. Any reporter get the story on him?
ReplyDeleteOh please. If Trump told a black woman like that she was beautiful she would have dropped her panties quicker than yishengcow dropped home ec because it was too hard.
ReplyDeleteTrump is an ass, his behavior isn't anything new.
ReplyDeleteBeing a competent doctor is too hard for Yisheng.
ReplyDeleteBlack women are naturally ugly, whether they look like trannies or not.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I don't care how attractive your wife is,she is still your first cousin.
ReplyDeleteJimmy,u seem to be quite enamored with the orange one. When did this attraction start?
Was it his hair? Or those bold, one of a kind, made in China, neckties?
(Field)
Gee, it's getting like Russian Roulette these days when you travel! Maybe you'll make it, but then again,maybe you won't!
ReplyDeleteOk, then why do black men go for white women so much?
ReplyDeleteMOT, Bubba was totally talking about obama's policies.
ReplyDeleteLook at what is going on in Brussels . Seems like only yesterday The New York Times and most on the left was mocking Donald J. Trump for what he said about Brussels.
And once again Donald J. Trump is proven right. Seems like the left is always getting terrorism wrong.
There was some clamor when Obama called a waitress "Sweetie". Calling a woman "Beautiful" is more flirtatious than that. I would say it qualifies as making a pass, while calling a woman sweetie doesn't necessarily. Neither incident seems important to me. I don't think Bill Clinton was a bad president because of Monica Lewinsky. I think he was a bad president because he let the media consolidate, signed NAFTA, and repealed Glass Steagall. Clinton did a lot of damage to the country. A lot of the reason why the economy was good then was the dot.com boom. Al Gore had more to do with that. As a senator, Gore wrote legislation that mandated big systems interfacing and the use of fiber optics. There is quite a bit of truth to the claim that he invented the internet. There is hypocricy on both sides. I have a feeling that some of the same people who said Obama was born in Kenya support Canadian born lying Ted Cruz. Jon Stewart had a good joke about Obama being born in Kenya. "In Kenya they say he's from Ghana."
ReplyDeleteBlack women are actually quite underrated. Well, except for Yisheng. She is as bad as it gets.
ReplyDeleteC'mon, Joe....would you want to screw a black woman? I mean, one that hasn't had some white blood injected into her momma, or grandmomma?
ReplyDeleteI think damn not.
(well, maybe it would be OK to screw them, as long as you didn't kiss them).
Field just loves to throw theses lying, obnoxious, pics at us.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is an ugly, supposed "black" woman to begin with. Google her nasty ass.
For God's sake.
ReplyDeleteThis is another lying assed bitch like Tawana Brawley...(BTW....where is that POS today? Don't worry, I don't expect any answer). She SHOULD be in prison, along with the slut Crystal Mangum, for ruining so many lives.
Calm down Lt. your meds are on its way.
ReplyDeleteNow get back to your padded room before the night- nurse misses you.
What a horrible thing to say to this reporter! Calling her beautiful is beyond the pale. Seriously, I don't think Trump's comment was appropriate or PC, but that is his personality. Trump is decidedly NOT PC and he is winning elections primarily because he isn't.
ReplyDeleteKaren made sure she milked the publicity for herself by discussing the comment. Trump gave her a gift. Who would even know who she was if not for Trump speaking to her?
She wishes Donald Trump hit on her.
ReplyDeleteLMAO! What a ridiculous story!
