Former Trump White House official Alyssa Farah Griffin slammed Donald Trump’s recent remarks directed at women, labeling them as “creepy” and “infantilizing.”
During a campaign rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Trump addressed women in a peculiar manner, stating, “I am your protector. I want to be your protector,” he said. “You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. You’re not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected, and I will be your protector. Women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion!”
Reacting to Trump’s remarks on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Griffin expressed her disbelief, saying:
“I started laughing and thinking it was creepy, but then thinking more about it, it’s very infantilizing. Talking about women as though we’re weak, we’re meek, we need a protector, we need a defender, and we just sit around thinking about abortions all day. It just underscores a fundamental lack of understanding for why a demographic that represents half of the country is one that he is struggling so profoundly with.”
She added, “I think Donald Trump, if he loses this election, is going to look back and think that one of the worst decisions he made was not having a female on the ticket who actually knows how to speak to living, breathing, normal women about issues that matter to them.”
She further remarked, “I think Donald Trump, if he loses this election, is going to look back and think that one of the worst decisions he made was not having a female on the ticket who actually knows how to speak to living, breathing, normal women about issues that matter to them.”
