Speaker Ryan and Congressman Katko Have Made Plain that This Election is Binary Choice
Today marks one week since the world learned that Donald Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women.
Despite Congressman Katko’s belated walk-away from Donald Trump, Katko still wants him to be president.
Why? Binary choice.
Speaker Ryan long ago made it clear that in this election Republicans have a “binary choice … It’s either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.” Ryan endorsed Trump because it was the only way to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming President. Therefore, the only way to stop Donald Trump from being President is to support Clinton. Period.
Katko himself highlighted the “contrast” between the two choices in an earlier interview: “I think they’re going to have a stark contrast if Trump is the nominee—a stark contrast: there’s going to be the professional politician in the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, versus someone who’s a business man his entire life, who is going to go out and think outside the box.”
To recap the latest news on Trump, women from all over the country have come forward, accusing Trump of all manners of sexually inappropriate behavior, including:
Walking in on Miss USA contestants changing; Walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants changing; Groping a woman without her permission; Groping another woman without her permission; Kissing a woman without her permission; Assaulting a reporter who was interviewing Trump and his then-pregnant wife; Groping another woman without her permission; Joking after seeing a 10 year-old that he would be “dating her in 10 years”; and Telling 14 year-old girls, “In a couple years, I’ll be dating you.”
“As Speaker Ryan and Congressman Katko have made clear, there is a simple choice in this election, and until Katko says he’ll vote for Hillary Clinton then he’s not doing all he can to stop Trump from becoming President,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “Anything short of a vote for Hillary is nothing more than political maneuvering so Katko can save his own reelection chances.”
