Donald Trump has no problem sending Sarah Sanders out to speak on his behalf about Rob Porter, but today he repeatedly ignored reporters’ questions about domestic violence and about whether he believed Porter’s ex-wives were abused. Looks like he may dodge this question for awhile.
Pres. Trump was asked twice today by @ABC about domestic violence following staffer's resignation. He did not respond. https://t.co/5ABxGLde0i pic.twitter.com/Z7eyRUuNrl

For now the only direct reaction we’ve gotten on this subject from Trump was this tweet where he seems to insinuate Porter was falsely accused. Victim blaming from the President of the United States.
Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused – life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?
