Someone Needs To Tell Sen. Warren What 'Slut-Shaming' Means

Early on Tuesday, President Donald Trump sent out a tweet that many say had sexual implications about Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). Trump called Gillibrand a "flunky" who would do "anything" for campaign contributions.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED! 2:03 PM - Dec 12, 2017 64,556 64,556 Replies 16,994 16,994 Retweets 60,333 60,333 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy Then in came Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who, while trying to stand up for her colleague...kind of backfired. Warren chastized Trump for attempting to "bully, intimidate and slut-shame" Gillibrand. For good measure, she tossed in the #ShePersisted hashtag.

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that, @realDonaldTrump. Nevertheless, #shepersisted. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/940567812053053441 … 5:14 PM - Dec 12, 2017

So, it's not entirely clear that Warren knows what "slut-shaming" means.

Bethany S. Mandel @bethanyshondark Why is Elizabeth calling her colleague a slut? https://twitter.com/senwarren/status/940615748988342273 … 5:54 PM - Dec 12, 2017

Amber Athey @amber_athey Is there a better way to cap 2017 than Liz Warren unintentionally calling Kirsten Gillibrand a slut? https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/940615748988342273 … 5:55 PM - Dec 12, 2017

Gabriel Malor @gabrielmalor Uuuhhh, as I understood it the word slut-shame means "to stigmatize (a woman) for engaging in behavior judged to be promiscuous or sexually provocative." Is that really what Warren means? https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/940615748988342273 … 5:21 PM - Dec 12, 2017

jon gabriel @exjon Dec. 12, 2017: The day Donald Trump and Liz Warren both implied that Kirsten Gillibrand is a slut. 5:35 PM - Dec 12, 2017

For the record: to "slut-shame" someone is to mock them for their promiscuous behavior, under the belief that women have the inherent right to have as much or as little sex as they want without any sort of societal judgment for their actions. By the tweet, Warren was--either accidentally or not--basically calling Gillibrand a slut and saying that she'd sleep around for campaign contributions. Not the best look, regardless of what she meant to say with the tweet.

It’s a Leftist virtue signaling term which means you are no longer allowed to criticize anybody for their poor sexual choices.

“This was one of the people charged with educating our best and brightest? “
She was charged with educating, but the best and brightest are in the STEM departments. There, she couldn’t serve as a janitor.
As for the rest of Harvard, well, Kennedys (many of them), and of course, Dorkbama. So much for standards.

[DoughtyOne]

I’ve not head or read of her saying anything remotely indication she had a lick of intelligence.

Someone should advise her to stop burying herself intellectually.

[Col Frank Slade]

Warren step in buffalo poop.

[FrankR]

Hummmmmm...sounds like something that might apply to Me-Agin Kelly, as well.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Hillary invented slut shaming.

[Gay State Conservative]

To Liawatha & Pals sluts are to be respected,admired,emulated....not made to feel shame.

[Eddie01]

Elizabeth Warren confirmed Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is in fact a slut.

You have to be a Slut to be Slut Shamed, that’s how it works.

So, PartsHairInMiddleToAppearAuthenic stepped in the truth.

[ColdOne]

The media didn’t call it this when he said the same thing about Romney.

[Eddie01]

We know she was banging Britt Hume, so yes, it applies.

[chuckee]

Little Lizzie learned a new fad catch phrase “slut shaming” for Dems to use the next 3 years. How cute. I think when Lizzie made up her Indian background so she could have Indians over for lunch and they passed on the invite, she may now be onto plan B to ingratiate herself with “sluts” and have a slut luncheon

[UCANSEE2]

Warren knows what ‘slut-shaming’ is and the reason she said it is because she knows the kind of things Kirsten has done to get a-head.

As to Obola, of course, we have absolutely no information as to what his grades and courses taken were at any of the academic institutions he attended.

Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, is just another face for the Hypocrite of the hour...she went all out for a rapist and covered for a crook....as a U.S. Senator she should know that to slander a sitting President is tantamount to a crime which she cannot prove at all...she is just politicizing and gaining some ink as the expense of the American people.

This isn't a game Senator Gillibrand, your job is to protect and honor the Constitution and the American people...doing anything less should put you before the Ethics Committee.

You can always tell a snobby, Affirmative Action, over educated, faux Cherokee Harvard Grad.

But you can’t tell them much.

[OpusatFR]

Liz Warren doesn’t know what race she is.

How on earth could she understand anything?

[dandiegirl]

I think there is going to be a big man backlash against all these congresswomen. They need the man vote to get elected. Men see that they can be absolutely destroyed by charges that have no evidence of proof just because a woman says so. It won’t be pretty.
