Philippine president orders soldiers to shoot women in genitals

Trump likes to pal around with fellow fascists around the world, and one he’s praised in particular is Philippine President Duterte, who’s been waging war on his own people and gunning suspected drug users down in the streets by the thousands. Let’s check in on him, shall we?

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte told soldiers last week to shoot female rebels in their genitals, the latest of several violent, misogynistic remarks.

Addressing a group of former communist rebels on Wednesday, Duterte, who served as a mayor before becoming president, appeared to encourage the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to target women in conflict.

“Tell the soldiers. ‘There’s a new order coming from the mayor. We won’t kill you. We will just shoot your vagina,’ ” he said.

“If there is no vagina, it would be useless,” Duterte continued, according to local media reports, appearing to imply that women are useless without their genitals.

You know, the Bible teaches that people are only as good as the company they keep. I wonder what that says about Trump, or the evangelicals who praise and defend him at every turn.
