There is no contradiction.

Trump said offensive things and he has an R after his name.

She committed a heinous evil crime and justified her action through bigotry, but she has a D after her name.

Therefore it is okay to choose this heinous woman as a speaker for the Woman's March to protest Trump's offensive words.

OK. Then where are these "millions of women" (just women? The men's opinion doesn't count?) who aren't represented by this key speaker chosen by THEIR movement? She's up there , supposedly speaking for them, being wildly cheered and applauded, and I don't see "millions of women" who's organization has been hijacked doing anything about it. To me, if their opinion does differ, they've invalidated it by their acceptance of Hylton as representative of them, and have adopted what Hylton stands for instead.


Nice try. (not really) But that dog won't hunt.

This march was organized by a muslim woman who believes in and promotes Sharia law. Not a heck lot more to say once one hears that - which either the participants didn't bother to find out or didn't care about. Even if they knew, they didn't focus on that kind of problem around the world - only on whether they themselves 'felt' hurt by people like Trump 'saying' he COULD grab a ... well you know what .. if he wanted to - or on the remote possibility that someone might someday not pay for their birth control, including the termination of what they didn't control. So insular.


Not surprising the organizers brought in the dregs of female humanity (and a few on the male side too) to enchant such a gullible crowd of marchers. They knew their audience was just plain selfish and stupid.
The people didn't have a clue what they were marching for because they were paid to be there. The march was not supposed to be about Trump, but every last one of those idiots went there because they hate Trump, and someone paid them to stomp around angry. When asked why they were there, as seen on videos, they had no idea why they were there.

I would bet you a lot of money that those signs were not made by them.

But...

A woman who was convicted of kidnapping and torturing a homosexual man who was starved, burned, beaten, and tortured over a period of 15-20 DAYS is invited to speak?!?!
And I going to guess that in her speech she said what a horrible person Trump is, Am I right?

I don't think it was wise to include her in that march.

That said, she did go to prison for 27 years, was released, and is believed to be rehabilitated.

The man in question was not actually gay, and this was some sort of a crime paid for by a slimy guy who was cheating people out of large sums of money against another guy who was his partner.

The victim didn't deserve to be tortured, but he was hardly an innocent.

I'm of mixed opinion on this because she was sexually abused and sold to a pedophile as a small girl so who in the world knows where her head was when she was a young woman?

I'm glad she seems to have gotten her life on the right track, but I do overall agree that her inclusion wasn't a good idea. I also have doubts that the organizer knew exactly what she'd done.

As to the organizer believing or not in Sharia law, many Muslim women don't have a huge issue with a good portion of religion-based law in Muslim countries, but guess what?

PLENTY of Christian women here in the US would be totally cool with religious law. Look how many want to make abortion laws based on Christian values.

Her being horrible or not has no bearing on whether or not Trump is or is not also horrible.

She and Trump probably have a lot in common!

'didn't deserve to be tortured'?
nothing about him not deserving to be killed?

how was he 'hardly an innocent'?
more excuse-making from the left.

Indeed, she did.

Played herself off as a victim. Outraged by comments made by Trump years ago in a private conversation. She was heavily involved in the torture, rape and gruesome murder of a man years ago for the promise of $9,000 to build herself a modeling portfolio. She was calculating and is evil personified, yet the LWNJ females lift her up as a leader. Foul woman.

Apparently if you were going to swindle someone out of money, it's perfectly acceptable to have an iron rod shoved up your backside because a) you were "a homo anyway" and b) you were a con man....nevermind that the ones who shoved that metal rod up your backside and then killed you were going to get a cut of that money for things like "modeling portfolios".

And this is who the left has speaking for them?

An organizer who is trying to promoto Sharia Law.
A speaker/hag has been who talks about blowing up the WH.
A convicted felon who took part in the torture and killing of a man - but who cares, he was gay anyway, he deserved it.
And let's not forget Ashley Judd, the mental case.

To top it off, they were SO OFFENDED by Trump's remarks, they decided to wear that on their heads and put it on their signs. Because it was "so offensive", why, one lady had a headache for 3 days she was so offended. So they repeat it over and over and over again...because it was so offensive, they felt sick.

This is the mental illness we are seeing in the streets. By the way, it wasn't 1 million. It was 200,000 who showed up in DC. And the left talks about Trump inflating numbers.
