Where Did The Right Go Wrong?

Where did the right go wrong? When did they transform from a party with actual policies to a group of Americans against women? 

​

There are only 13 Republican congresswomen in the House out of all 199 Republican Congress members, according to the Center for American Women and Politics. 

​

It is clear that the Republican Party is overlooking gender diversity.  

​

By backing President Donald Trump, the Republican party has identified themselves as against women’s rights. 

Republicans backed a candidate who said: “I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything...” 

​

When dozens of women came out alleging that Trump had sexually assaulted them, Trump simply called all the women liars, according to ABC News. These prejudices don’t seem to end. 

​

In December 2017, Roy Moore, a Republican Senate candidate in Alabama, was accused of sexual misconduct with minors. 

​

The Washington Post reported that nine women stepped forward to detail that Moore had pursued them sexually and romantically when most of them were minors.  

​

According to CNN, after these allegations surfaced, the Republican National Committee still gave money to the Moore campaign even after Mitt Romney, the Republican 2012 presidential nominee, stated: “No vote, no majority is worth losing our honor, our integrity.”

​

The culmination of all these events has portrayed many officials of the Republican party as against women.
