Trump admin women strike back after being called 'pimp ladies' by ex-president's advisor
Women who worked in Donald Trump's White House struck back at Peter Navarro after the former president's old trade advisor called them "pimp ladies" and suggested men in power no longer want to employ any women because of them.
Former Donald Trump advisor Navarro is currently appealing his conviction after being found guilty on contempt charges. He claims he did nothing wrong and didn't have to answer questions about Trump because of executive privilege, but the court said that Navarro didn't provide evidence he was protected by that privilege.
On Thursday and Friday, Navarro lashed out at former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson and other veterans from Trump's administration, including Olivia Troye, the former Homeland Security aide to former Vice President Mike Pence, former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former communications official in Trump's administration, and Fox News host and former Trump White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
"Watched Hutchinson in West Wing suck candy daily outside Meadows office doing NOTHING. Pimping new 'book' with White House loser alyssa farah. Hutchinson sold soul to J6 witch hunt. This her next 15 minutes of fame. @RudyGiuliani hero, Cassidy trash," he wrote on Thursday.
On Friday, he wrote, "Why would White House men - prez, vp, senior aide - EVER hire a woman after watching book pimps Cassiday Hutchinson, Alyssa Farah, Stephanie Grisham, Kayleigh McEnany, Olivia Troye throw mud @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani et. al. Pimp ladies be giving real MAGA WOMEN bad name."
Grisham responded, asking if t-shirts might be appropriate.
"If someone wants to make/send me a 'Pimp Lady' T-shirt I wouldn’t be opposed," she wrote late Friday night.
Troye also replied, saying, "Welcome to the Trump White House…where the hardest working women are compared to wh-res & said to chomp on candy while the harassment by entitled conspiracy fear mongering loons like Rudy Giuliani & Peter Navarro lives on…"
"The truth hurts doesn’t it boys," she then added.
Sofia Kinzinger, the wife of former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), also chimed in on what Navarro's post means."Reading this tweet is like watching a soccer player score a goal for the opposite team," she said on Saturday. "It’s not like [Trump] is in desperate need of suburban women in order to win a general."
