UltraViolet Action Commissions Plane After Trump Caught Bragging About Sexual Assault, Groping Women in 2005 Video
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA — This Monday, October 10th, UltraViolet Action, a national women’s advocacy organization, has commissioned a plane to fly over Bank of America Stadium as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the Charlotte Panthers that slams Donald Trump for assaulting women and urging football fans in attendance to channel their outrage and vote against Trump at the polls in November.
The plane banner will read “Trump assaults women. Outraged? Vote” and comes after Trump was caught bragging about sexual assault and groping women to the Today Show’s Billy Bush in a 2005 video. In this video, Trump remarks on women include comments like “grab them by the p***y” and “when you’re a star, they let you do it.”
WHERE: Bank of America Stadium 800 S Mint St, Charlotte, NC 28202
WHEN: Monday, October 10th. The plane will fly over the stadium from 4:30pm to 6:30pm ET **
“Donald Trump is a dangerous, predatory misogynist and the living embodiment of rape culture – asserting he has the right to assault women because he’s famous and a celebrity. While these comments aren’t surprising from a man who has built his life off denigrating women, they are further proof that he is wholly unqualified to be President and should never be allowed to step foot in the White House,” explained Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of UltraViolet Action.
Over the weekend, UltraViolet Action released a new 30-second TV spot in swing states across the country slamming Trump for bragging about sexual assault and saying that the Republican Presidential candidate is dangerous for women and America.
