Fox’s Liz Trotta on Rape in Military: ‘What Did They Expect?’
Our Fox News right wing jaw-dropper of the day comes from Fox contributor Liz Trotta, in a segment about the Pentagon’s new rules for women in the military: Fox’s Liz Trotta on Sexual Assault in Military: ‘What Did They Expect? These People Are in Close Contact.’
Fox News contributor Liz Trotta attacked the Department of Defense for increasing spending on support programs for victims of sexual assault. Trotta also reacted to a Pentagon report showing a 64% increase in violent sexual assaults since 2006 by stating: “Well, what did they expect? These people are in close contact.”
Trotta began by claiming “we have women once more, the feminist, going, wanting to be warriors and victims at the same time” and later added that feminists “have also directed them, really, to spend a lot of money. They have sexual counselors all over the place, victims’ advocates, sexual response coordinators. … you have this whole bureaucracy upon bureaucracy being built up with all kinds of levels of people to support women in the military who are now being raped too much.”
