Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) has yet to retract her comments after she pushed — via Twitter — an untrue story about Donald Trump and his ex-wife.
“Most shocking part of this? Trump’s lawyer thinks it’s legal to rape your spouse. Giving Akin a run for his money,” McCaskill Tweeted, with a link to the Daily Beast story from Tim Mak and Brandon Zadrozny that inaccurately accused Mr. Trump of raping his ex-wife Ivana.
McCaskill was making a comparison between Trump and former Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), who ran against her in the 2012 election and was abandoned by the Republican Party after he made wildly inaccurate comments about pregnancy and rape.
