I know from my constituency what is going on. Doctors that are told, begged, by mothers, 'Please don't write down that my child as asthma.

I take great solace in the fact that Donald Trump lost the popular vote. Hillary Clinton got over 2.5 million more votes than Donald Trump got. So I can't say in any way that the people think that harassing women is appropriate.
