WASHINGTON ― White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, attempting to explain President Donald Trump’s latest sexist attack, this time against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), claimed it was “very obvious” that Trump was referring to “the corruption of the entire political system.”
“He’s not alleging anything,” Sanders said at Tuesday’s White House press briefing. “There’s no way that this is sexist at all.”
That morning, Trump had been widely criticized for slurring Gillibrand, one of several Democratic senators calling for the president’s resignation in response to renewed sexual misconduct allegations against him.
Many interpreted the tweet, which suggested Gillibrand “would do anything” for campaign donations, as a nasty sexual innuendo.
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!
Gillibrand called it “a sexist smear,” and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) accused Trump of “trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame” Gillibrand.
On Tuesday, Trump also falsely claimed that he didn’t know the women accusing him of sexual misconduct, part of a continuing effort to discredit his accusers. He has also reportedly said that the 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape, in which he brags about grabbing women, is fake.
The White House has dismissed all the allegations by asserting that Trump’s victory in last year’s election put the issue to rest.
“The people of this country, in a decisive election, supported President Trump, and we feel like these allegations have been answered through that process,” Sanders said on Monday.

Teams have made their big splashes in free agency and made their draft picks, it's time for you to do the same. It's fantasy football mock draft time. Some call this time of year best ball season, others know it's an opportunity to get a leg up on your competition for when you have to draft in August. The staff at Yahoo Fantasy did their first mock draft of the 2024 season to help you with the latter. Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens are here to break it all down by each round and crush some staff members in the process.
It’s key to note that we’re not saying the “best team” or “best roster.” Instead, we’re talking about the best confluence of factors that can outline a path for survival and then success.
With free agency and the draft behind us, what 32 teams look like today will likely be what they look like Week 1 and beyond for the 2024 season. Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal the post-draft fantasy power rankings. The duo break down the rankings in six tiers: Elite offensive ecosystems, teams on the cusp of being complete mixed bag ecosystems, offensive ecosystems with something to prove, offenses that could go either way, and offenses that are best to stay away from in fantasy.
