Aboard the presidential plane recently, reporter Catherine Lucey of Bloomberg News asked Donald Trump why he had not yet released the Epstein files. His response to her: "Quiet! Quiet, piggy."Our response to that: Is this the worst, most disgusting thing this president has done to women or to journalists? No, it's just his latest insult to half the global population. But it is worth taking the time to understand the far-reaching damage of his words.Since YJI's founding in 1994, this small charity has worked with many hundreds of aspiring reporters, photographers and artists, the majority of them girls and young women.

YJI shows them that society can be better, but when the president of the United States thinks nothing of tossing off sexist slurs to silence a question from a woman reporter, it erodes their hopes for a brighter future. And is both shameful and indefensible. ... See MoreSee Less
