Are the presses even worth stopping at this point when Donald Trump says something offensive?
Probably not, but it"s still worth noting when the leading Republican nominee for President managed to insult both women (his specialty!) and Muslims (his other specialty… along with immigrants) all at once.
During an event in Atkinson, New Hampshire on Monday, October, 26, the real state mogul and former reality star spoke out in regard to unnamed Republican’s suggestion that we fight to free women from having to wear burqas.
He response started as rambling… and then became insulting.
“We want it where the women over there don’t have to wear [burqas]. And then I said, ‘Oh that makes sense.’ But then I saw women interviewed and they said, ‘We want to wear them. We’ve worn them for thousands of years. Why would anybody tell us not to?’” Trump said, addressing the crowd.
“They want to! What the hell are we getting involved for?”
Trump, who was recently endorsed by Mike Tyson, went on to say that Muslim females like to wear the religious garment because “it’s easy.”
How so?
“They don’t have to put on makeup,” he said. “Look how beautiful everyone looks. Wouldn’t it be easier? I’ll tell ya, if I was a woman [mimes putting on burqa with his hand] ‘I’m ready, darling, let’s go!’”
Do we even need to explain this is offensive? No? Okay, good.
Do we need to act like we"re surprised Trump said it? We really shouldn"t at this point, we suppose.
