Miss Ohio USA nails Kellyanne Conway: Ask Trump why he "was even in my dressing room”

In the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s ignominious fall from grace amid a deluge of sexual harassment and assault allegations spanning decades, two stark facts highlight the culture of misogyny that empowers predators like him: the fact that other men who have done exactly the same thing remain securely in power, and the widespread impulse to blame women for his actions.
Both these realities are exemplified by counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway.
Conway has spent the last few days on TV and social media gloatingly saying Hillary Clinton is somehow responsible for Weinstein’s behavior because they ran in the same circles. She called Clinton “a hypocrite about women’s empowerment” and said the former first lady and architect of the Office on Violence Against Women is “not trying to help victims of sexual assault.”
Meanwhile, Conway glosses over her own role in electing a man who not only was himself a friend of Weinstein’s, but is publicly known to be a sexual predator who bragged about his behavior.
On Wednesday, Candace Smith, former Miss Ohio USA on Trump’s beauty pageant, illustrated Conway’s duplicity perfectly with one simple tweet:

Smith knows from personal experience that Trump has a long history of predatory behavior toward young women.

This is not even a new accusation. Trump himself admitted to going into pageant contestants’ dressing rooms in a 2005 interview with Howard Stern.
“I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it,” he bragged. “You know, I’m inspecting, I want to make sure that everything is good.”
And of course, he infamously boasted in the “Access Hollywood” tape that he sexually assaulted women and got away with it because he was a celebrity and had power over these women’s careers — exactly like Harvey Weinstein.
Conway wants to know what Clinton has done to help victims of sexual predators. The fact is, she ran against one for president.
