Women Take to DC on the Anniversary of Trump’s “Grab Them” Leak
It seems that Trump’s “locker talk” has come back to haunt him once more.
Dozens of women were out and about today in Washington DC protesting and playing on a giant screen by Washington Monument a loop of the infamous tape of the President saying, “grab them by the p***y.” The protest comes on the one year anniversary of the tape, which was originally for Access Hollywood, being leaked.

Protestors consisted of women who are against normalizing the sexual actions Trump described in the tape, and ending rape culture. Protestors held signs reading “I stand with survivors” and “We grab back”. Others stood up and spoke to the crowd about the President’s callous and offensive words.

Women won’t forget who you are @realDonaldTrump.
You’re a proud sexual predator and we’re here to say #WeGrabBack! pic.twitter.com/y0JfaO3g7G

The timing of the protest is ironic, considering a new mandate was signed today allowing companies to deny birth control to their female employees on the basis of the company’s religious beliefs.
