When a presidential administration like ours is such a literal poopstorm, it’s easy to miss subtle but horrifying actions.
So, brace yourselves for some news you may have missed.
The White House removed an Obama-era Sexual Assault Prevention report from its website.
W.T.F.
I mean, we can’t say we’re surprised, but moves like this are so terrifying and serve to reinforce the administration’s values (or lack thereof).
Since many of us don’t check to White House website daily, we have to thank Alexandra Brodsky for bringing this action to the public’s attention. She took to Twitter to report the news.

Just in case you wondered where they stand. Here’s a copy of the report, saved by @knowyourIX: https://t.co/sNUavSrgaa https://t.co/9qxMI3mUMF

Brodsky also spoke with the Huffington Post. She said,
“Taking the report down is really a discouragement from [taking] action. That’s particularly troublesome when we know that the administration is actively considering undermining important policies for survivors like those reaffirmed by the Obama administration regarding Title IX.”
So for people who claimed Trump’s “grab her by the pussy” rant was just “locker room talk”, does this action give you any additional insight into our President’s values?
The report is still available to read on the Know Your Title IX website, an organization that Brodsky co-founded.
