Trump believes his fame gives him right to grab women: Lady Gaga

-

 


Taking side for Democratic nominee Joe Biden, famous singer Lady Gaga slammed President Trump saying the president “believes his fame gives him the right to grab” women.

The day before the US headed to the polls for the US presidential election, the “Born This Way” singer appeared on the Democratic campaign trail with Biden in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

“Vote like your life depends on it, or vote like your children’s lives depends on it, because they do,” Gaga told the crowds.

The singer explicitly referenced to the infamous 2005 Access Hollywood tapes, in which Trump is heard boasting that “when you’re a star… you can do anything… grab ’em by the p***y”.

“To all the women, to all the men with daughters and sisters and mothers. Everybody, no matter how you identify, now is your chance to vote against Donald Trump, a man who believes his fame gives him the right to grab one of your daughters, or sisters, or mothers or wives by any part of their bodies,” Gaga implored the crowds.

“To all the women and all the men with daughters and sisters and mothers, everybody, no matter how you identify, now is your chance to vote against Donald Trump, a man who believes his fame gives him the right to grab one of your daughters or sisters or mothers or wives by any part of their bodies,” she said. “Vote for Joe. He’s a good person.”

The singer and actress encouraged all eligible voters to show up at their polling places tomorrow if they haven’t voted already.

“We need all of you to vote,” she said. “I know you've seen the polls, the record number of early and mail-in votes. It’s tempting to feel comfortable and confident and sit back, but now is not the time to feel comfortable and sit back.”

“Now is the time to show up and vote like this country depends on it — because it does,” she said.

Lady Gaga performed later during the rally, singing “Shallow,” telling Pennsylvanians that “you got a lot of heart” and that “this is not a shallow people.”

Her song followed a performance by John Legend and Common and speeches from Joe Biden's wife, Jill Biden, and Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).

Police Bodycam footage of a 13-year-old boy being shot dead by police in Chicago shows the youth appearing to drop a handgun and raising his hands less than a second before an officer kills him. A still frame taken from Officer Eric Stillman’s body camera footage shows that Adam Toledo was empty handed had his hands up when Officer Stillman shot him once in the chest at about 3am on 29 March. Police, who were responding to reports of shots fired in the area, say the boy had a handgun on him before the shooting. Officer Stillman’s footage shows him shining a light on a handgun on the ground near Adam after he shot him.    The release of the footage and other investigation materials comes at a sensitive time, with the ongoing trial in Minneapolis of former Officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd and the recent police killing of another black man, Daunte Wright, in one of that city’s suburbs. Before the Civilian Office of Police Accountability posted the material on it...

The Israeli army destroyed a natural reserve and uprooted at least 10,000 trees in a military campaign in the northern West Bank in a move that Palestinians termed a "crime". Moataz Bisharat, who is responsible for monitoring Israeli settlement activity in the Jordan Valley, told Anadolu Agency that the occupation army pushed military vehicles and dozens of soldiers into the Ainun area in Tubas city in the morning and destroyed a nature reserve built on an area of about 400 dunums (98 acres). The occupation army "chopped down and destroyed about 10,000 forest trees and about 300 olive trees," he said. Trees were planted in the nature reserve eight years ago as part of the Greening Palestine project supervised by the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture and funded by the Venezuelan consulate in Palestine. Bisharat stressed that the occupation alleged that the destruction of the reserve came as it was classed as a military zone even though it was not more than 300 metr...

Unrest in South Africa increases fars of food and fuel shortages

 Violence and looting has raged in South Africa for the sixth day running, stoking fears of food and fuel shortages as disruption to farming, manufacturing and oil refining began to bite amid the country’s worst unrest in decades. More than 70 people have died as grievances over the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma have widened into an outpouring of anger over the inequality that remains 27 years after the end of apartheid. Poverty has been exacerbated by severe social and economic restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. More than 1,200 people have been arrested in the lawlessness that has raged in poor areas of two provinces, where a community radio station was ransacked and forced off the air on Tuesday and some COVID-19 vaccination centres were closed, disrupting urgently needed inoculations. Many of the deaths in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces occurred in chaotic stampedes as thousands of people stole food, electric appliances, liquor and clothing from ...
