Strictly speaking as an American voter instead of as President Joe Biden's Commerce secretary, Gina Raimondo appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" where she and co-host Mika Brzezinski slammed Donald Trump for boasting that he is a "protector" of women which led Raimondo to call him out for his "BS."
The former president, who is facing a significant problem attracting women voters, has recently been boasting about all the things he will do for them that began with a post on Truth Social where he wrote, "I WILL PROTECT WOMEN AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THEY WILL FINALLY BE HEALTHY, HOPEFUL, SAFE, AND SECURE. THEIR LIVES WILL BE HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL, AND GREAT AGAIN!"
Neither Raimondo nor host Brzezinski were buying it from the man who set in motion the dismantling of Roe v. Wade.

The MSNBC host set the tone for the discussion by telling her guest, "Since you're here in your personal capacity: you're a mom, you're a woman, things like that, I have to ask about Donald Trump saying that he would be our protector, he would protect us and I get extremely upset when I hear him speaking this way."
"Because I don't want myself or my daughters protected by a convicted felon who was found liable of sexual abuse in a case that the judge actually said it was tantamount to rape," she continued. "Liable for defaming a woman, bragged out loud that he likes to grab women by their genitals and that they like it. And it goes on and on and on."
"Some describe him to be somewhat of a sexual predator. How are we here, number one, and number two, what is your response when you hear Donald Trump on the campaign trail saying that he — the man who brags about overturning Roe and denying life-saving healthcare to women across America — is a protector of women? How have we gotten here?" she asked.
"I don't know how we have gotten here, but we sure as hell have to get out of here and get Kamala in the White House," the former Rhode Island governor replied. "I'm a woman. I have a 20-year-old daughter. When I read that, when I saw the protector, it's enraging, it's blood curdling and it is BS."
"Not only is it wrong and a lie, it belittles us," she continued. "We're not that stupid. We know he's lying. And we don't need his baloney telling us he'll protect us. We know the facts of how he feels about women; he is disrespectful to women, putting it mildly, and he's the one that overturned Roe —exactly what you said."
