Sources from United Nations have stated that the Indian American member of Trump’s cabinet told Politico that rumors of her having an affair with the President were “absolutely not true.” Meanwhile the rumors illustrate a persistent problem of US politics where character assassination is used especially against women and minorities by the entire political spectrum and not just the Republicans.
Moreover the former South Carolina Governor is an inviting target for attacks by Trump’s opponents as she is both a woman and an Indian American and has been the victim of such campaigns in the past. She said “Every time this has happened, it only makes me fight harder”.
Further politico, an influential media covering
politics, reported that she said author Michael Wolf’s “insinuation is similar
to other attacks that she and other successful women have faced when they have
been forced to swat down suggestions they have slept their way to the top.”
Accordingly politico attributed the online speculation about her and Trump to
Wolf, who recently published “Fire and Fury”, a book critical of Trump and
claiming to give the inside story of the White House.
