The article specifically incites by saying he admitted to sexually abusing women (paraphrasing, and walking this idea out should show anyone how silly it is) and referenced grab them by the pussy which is one of the most egregiously taken out of context quotes I've seen.
The focus should be on the March (but it's the same dirty old tricks and appeal to emotion without fact, and appeal to moral high ground. Dems as usual) and the principles, which I think is a step in the right direction.. it's worth criticizing in a different way, I don't just write it off, it's worth discussing and in some ways admirable
How was it taken out of context? I mean, he said that and implied that that's what he did in the tape didn't he? I suppose you could make the argument that what he said was in jest and just him being crass but it still doesn't devalue its relevancy in regards to the march in my opinion. I suppose you could argue wether grabbing someone by their genitals constitutes sexual assault but I wouldn't fault anyone for actually feeling that way personally.
I also don't think it removes focus from the march in the article. It's mentioned shortly in the beginning of yhe article and when it does discuss trump it is to reiterate the point stated in the beginning of the article: this is not just about Trump.
