Karen Pence praises Donald Trump’s treatment of young women
Second lady Karen Pence faced fierce backlash on Twitter after she reportedly praised President Donald Trump for the way in which he treats young women.
According to The New York Times’ White House correspondent Katie Rogers, the wife of Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday told a “Women for Trump” discussion in St. Paul, Minnesota, that she likes the respect Trump has for his daughters and claimed he’d “empowered women like no other.”
Critics were quick to call Pence out over her praise.

They reminded the second lady of Trump’s long history of insulting women, the disgusting comments he made on the now-infamous 2005 “Access Hollywood” bus ride and the raft of sexual misconduct allegations that have been leveled against the president.
Man, the Pences must really be worried Trump’s either going to dump Mike from the ticket or try to bring Mike down with him if he’s impeached. https://t.co/mV6B41RGYo

I guess @secondlady missed the interview where @realDonaldTrump bragged about walking in on semi-naked contestants in the teen Miss USA pageant. You know, the recording all of America heard when it was replayed during the campaign. That’s how he treats young women. https://t.co/Lm2397NVyz

Interesting thing to say the same day 43 more allegations of sexual misconduct against him are published: https://t.co/8twW2BOYrEhttps://t.co/7A0YMsmT2N

This is quite a departure from how Karen Pence felt about Trump’s treatment of women back in 2016, according to @TimAlberta’s reporting in “American Carnage” https://t.co/KaZvPmXYJD

Karen loves to bury her head in the sand. How clueless can you be? Or she’s just as evil as the rest of them.

I think Mother might be lying for a man who bragged about grabbing women's genitals for partisan reasons... https://t.co/I7GOfekD2p
