Trump is intentionally nominating sex offenders for high profile jobs for a reason. [View all]

He's sending a message to men (specifically, White men) that sexual assault will be overlooked and not a deal breaker for career advancement. He's sending a message to all women, "You're not safe from sexual assault. The only way that you will be safe is to get married."
