Rep. Gwen Moore, a Democrat from Wisconsin who has championed legislative efforts against domestic violence, said such crimes amount to “abuse that devastates families, endangers women and children, and takes lives every single day.”

“As a survivor of domestic violence, I found President Trump’s comments today downplaying domestic violence deeply offensive and disturbing,” she said in a statement. “Trump has a long history of violence against women that makes his dismissiveness unsurprising.”

That was the one result I got when I ctrl-f’d for “surpris” in this article. Just because it’s a completely predictable display of misogyny and ignorance by religious fundamentalists and the orange asshole doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be called out by decent people as the evil shit it is.
