John Berman: So Trump Decides Which Women Are ‘Special Enough to Believe?’

 

“The President of the United States of America is backing a candidate who is credibly accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl. Now we know.”

CNN’s John Berman opened tonight AC360 with President Trump‘s stunning comments all but outright endorsing Roy Moore over Democrat Doug Jones today.

Trump said they can’t afford to have a liberal Democrat in the seat, adding that Moore “denies it.”

But one line Berman picked up in particular was when Trump talked about women being “special”:

“So in the President’s words, women are special. Some women, it seems, anyway. He wants you to believe the women who accused Bill Clinton, for example. He wants you to believe the women who accused Harvey Weinstein… Other women? Not so special. Not the women accusing Roy Moore. Not the women accusing Bill O’Reilly or Roger Ailes. And, of course, not the women accusing Donald Trump. None of them, at least, special enough to believe.”
