Cramer Dismisses #MeToo Movement

October 8, 2018 · 2:45 pm ET · Leave a Comment

North Dakota U.S. Senate candidate Kevin Cramer (R) dismissed the #MeToo movement, saying it’s “a movement towards victimization,” the New York Times reports.

Said Cramer: “That you’re just supposed to believe somebody because they said it happened.”

Invoking his wife, daughters, mother and mother-in-law, he added: “They cannot understand this movement toward victimization. They are pioneers of the prairie. These are tough people whose grandparents were tough and great-grandparents were tough.”
