I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

Donald Trump trashed a good question from Rachel Scott of ABC News, then trashed her. It's not the first time Trump has disrespected women reporters.

@JohnBoelWAVE3 John! I'm so sorry 🙏

[Carolyn Williams @CaroWilliams4]

Congressman Lee Hamilton we will miss your brilliance. This column was in the southern Indiana "News and Tribune" coincidentally on the day we lost you.

@JudeRedfield It really was Thunder Snow in New Albany - 3 times!

[Carolyn Williams @CaroWilliams4]

Thunder Snow. I heard it three times.

[Jim Cornelison @Anthem_Singer]

Thanks a million, Jon!

Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s name on his existing memorial… What is that about? Truly? What’s that about? Do you want people to speak the names as one? Dig down deep. What are you trying to say? I’m really interested. There is no other president who would do this. None. Zero. In fact, it’s not even legal. Congress named the performing arts center as a living memorial in 1964, and only congress can change that law.

This will always be the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Art. A great man would have said to his hand picked board, “Thank you, but the building already has its name. Let it stand. Let it be. I don’t need that.” But then again…

@MonroeTrombly This was an extraordinary timeline of the heroes who responded to the Louisville UPS disaster. Capital J journalism.

@wfaa Retired TV news junkie visiting Dallas and enjoying all the stations. #WFAA has excellent in-depth reporters but is noticably remiss in putting them on camera or even allowing a sig-out. Why?

[Carolyn Williams @CaroWilliams4]

Do not miss the #Fallon and #ArianaGrande opening number on Nov 18 #Tonightshow

[Carolyn Williams @CaroWilliams4]

Penny-flation will add up. Makes more sense for retailers to round down #thorntons

#HarvestHomecoming outstanding food and in-stores shopping. Not a lot of things for kids to do except buy junk. Please! Bring back the rides next year!

@FallonTonight @jimmyfallon @taylorswift13 @edsheeran @selenagomez This was an extraordinary interview. How can she be so warm and down to earth?

@NFL @dak @dallascowboys @insidetheNFL The weird 2-point rule for a blocked PAT runback made this an even more unsatisfying tie game.

[Carolyn Williams @CaroWilliams4]

#Fallon & #Roots should move #TonightShow to Detroit. Electric show last night!
