(CNN)First lady Melania Trump said victims who make accusations of sexual misconduct "need to have really hard evidence" in a recently taped interview, echoing a statement she made in October 2016 amid allegations against her husband.
"If you accuse (someone) of something, show the evidence," Trump said in a sit-down interview with ABC News that took place in Kenya last week during her first major solo trip to Africa.
Trump also said she supports women, but she echoed her husband, President Donald Trump, adding that men need to be supported, too.
"I support the women and they need to be heard," said Trump. "We need to support them and, you know, also men, not just women."

You mean like your husband admitting to walking into the "Miss Teen USA Pageant" dressing room?

(26,263 posts)I'm just wondering what kind of evidence a 9 year old me could have produced that she would find to be acceptable. And don't get me started on what kind of 'evidence' the military would have considered to be sufficient. Apparently my word wasn't.

I probably don't hate her any more now than I did when I saw her making her birther statements. This is just another refresher course for my hate.

(2,224 posts)With evidence, their case would be much stronger. If they don't have evidence their case still needs to be treated with respect and it needs to be fully investigated. Performing a half-assed investigation or ignoring their claims just because they don't have any evidence would be doing a grave disservice to justice.
