Commentary

 

It was a Friday night in San Bruno when my childhood friend, Michela Gregory, and her boyfriend Alex Vega decided to hop on BART and attend a party in Oakland.

Trump’s misogyny is called into question…again

Lindsey Huffman, Photographer October 4, 2016

Media has been fluttering for the past several months and even years with multiple situations where Trump talks about women as objects rather than individuals.

But at this point, does it even matter what he says when his followers won’t change their minds when it comes down to making that final vote?
