Obama's Former Photographer Reminds Trump What It Looks Like to Respect Women

Pete Souza is known for his skillful art of criticizing President Trump with pictures, and one move is receiving attention for all the right reasons. Following Trump's verbal attacks on MSNBC's Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski — in which he called her "dumb as a rock" and tweeted about her appearance — the former White House photographer decided to remind Trump what it looks like when a president treats women as equals. Souza uploaded a series of photos on his Instagram page, captioned "respect for women," that will remind you that Trump's bullying and sexism are not normal behavior from a president. Read on to relive all the times Barack Obama showed women the respect they deserve.
