Donald Trump's "Grab'em by the pussy" tape to run on a huge screen for 12 hours near the Washington Monument.

Courtesy of Newsweek: 

It was just a few minutes of audio and video, but it was so packed with vulgar, sexist and curse-laden language that some expected it to derail Donald Trump’s run for the White House. 

Now, just days removed from the one-year anniversary of the Access Hollywood tape’s release, a group devoted to fighting sexism wants to make sure President Trump and the rest of the country remember what he told Billy Bush while on a tour bus in 2005. 

The group, Ultraviolet, will splash the video across a screen almost 10 feet high and 16 feet wide set in between the White House and the Washington Monument on Constitution Avenue, and the images and the audio of Trump’s comments will run over and over Friday for 12 consecutive hours. The clip will start rolling at 9 a.m. EDT.

Wow, so that means this thing is currently running quite close to the White House.

I bet this is really making Trump's day.

Perhaps the one thing that will forever nag me is why this tape did not end Trump's candidacy the minute it hit the public airwaves?

Because it certainly should have. 

Another advertiser bails on Breitbart due to hate speech.

Kellogg Co. is pulling its ads from the website Breitbart News, the right-wing news organization whose former chairman Steve Bannon was tapped as a top adviser to President-elect Donald Trump. 

Brands that advertise on Breitbart have drawn flak in recent weeks, with activists saying the website espouses racist and anti-Semitic views. A screen shot showing an advertisement for Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats was part of an online campaign to get marketers to abandon the site.

“We regularly work with our media-buying partners to ensure our ads do not appear on sites that aren’t aligned with our values as a company,” said Kris Charles, a spokeswoman for Kellogg, which also makes Frosted Flakes and Special K cereal. “We recently reviewed the list of sites where our ads can be placed and decided to discontinue advertising on Breitbart.com. We are working to remove our ads from that site.”

You may remember that Breitbart also lost a major source of revenue when a leading ad exchange blacklisted them for being a home for racism, antisemitism, and misogyny.

But don't you worry about ole Breitbart, I understand that white sheet distributors and companies who sell do-it-yourself flaming crosses are beating down the door to buy ad space.

By the way in response to this Breitbart is calling for a boycott of Kellogg's products.

Do racists even eat Frosted Flakes?

That time that Ben Carson asked that a female reporter's microphone be turned off so that he did not have to hear her question him.

Courtesy of Think Progress:

During his appearance on MSNBC, Carson referenced a debunked right-wing theory that says that Trump couldn’t have assaulted one of the women, Jessica Leeds, on an airplane in the 70s because the armrest wouldn’t have been able to move. Then, he pivoted from smearing the women to suggesting sexual assault isn’t important because we have national debt. 

Before “nations fall,” Carson said, “they take their eye off the ball, start engaging in things that really don’t matter that much. Not that, you know, sexual language and abuses is not important, but when you are talking about the train going off the cliff, you really need to deal with that first.”

“You seem to suggest this morning in your interview with the description of the first class cabin and previous interviews that these women are lying,” Katty Kay said. “The real reason women who have been sexually abused don’t come forward is precisely this, all too much they’re accused of being liars. Are you saying these women are lying?” 

Instead of answering the question, Carson demanded that Kay’s mic be cut off. 

“Hey, can you turn her microphone off, please?” he said. “Turn her microphone off so I can talk.”

Yeah how dare she question Ben Carson, doesn't she realize she's just a woman?

I swear the more of these allegations that come out the harder it is becoming for Trump's surrogates to hold it together.

I think Katty Kay made a pretty good point.

I'm not sure that ordering the silence of a woman is a great way to win back women voters who are fleeing Trump. Just a suggestion. https://t.co/CCT5RSHIyd

Yeah defending against misogynistic tendencies by demonstrating misogynistic tendencies does seem a little counterproductive.
