First off, I sincerely thank her for coming forward today.
Secondly, I am sorry that she had to endure what she endured and how she felt she could not make her story public until now.
Yet this woman says that she and her husband voted for Trump.
After Trump admitted he grabbed women by their pussies.
After Trump was accused by numerous women of being out of line with them.
After Trump admitted he walked in on naked teenagers in a beauty pageant he owned.
That's a bit of incongruity.

(17,026 posts)Women who have been sexually abused often have difficulty recognizing when boundaries are violated. They normalize their experience. This is one of the reasons they are often victimized more than once.

(34,127 posts)Me campaigning for Kerry - and remaining silent on the marriage discrimination amendment when I knocked on doors because I knew that many Kerry voters would be offended at my marriage and I might do more harm than good by raising the issue.
Or, more to the point, no more incongrous than me - a rape survivor - voting for Bill Clinton - when there were allegations of sexual harassment against him. (Clinton v. Jones)
Unfortunately, life is not a nice tidy package for women - and some otherwise good men are sexually aggressive, at a minimum, and predators at worst. While I disagree with Moore's accuser's support of Trump, and find him offensive for all sorts of reasons, I can understand that she voted for someone whose principles she otherwise supported in spite of his sexually aggressive behavior. Although we are political opposites, I have been forced to make the same choice.
