Ashley Judd Says Mom Had Trump's Name Written on Her Thigh

So mom was going to have a small surgical procedure at Williamson County Hospital where she had obviously been a nurse in the 80s. She had known the doctor back when she was a nurse and he was now a care provider for her. And it was some bladder surgery and she wrote something on the inside of her leg before the surgery. Can you just take a very wild guess as to what she wrote? She wrote the word Trump. Or did she? She wrote the word Trump. And she showed me and she, you know, wrote it in her Sharpie that she signed autographs in and she wrote the word Trump on her inner thigh. And this was right before the second election in which he ran. And we talked about this a lot. We talked about it in the car. You know, we talked about it on the sofa. We talked about it up in the bed and we'd be sitting there watching popcorn, watching her crime shows. And we just talked about this a lot. And, you know, what I feel is that she was nervous and she was ashamed that this. Man, doctor, surgeon that had known her when she was in her 30s as a nurse was going to be seeing her in this very vulnerable position physically and socially having this surgery. And one of the things that I talked with her about, I said, what if you were a nurse in that OR? What if you were the orderly in that OR? What if you were someone with... Immigration status or a person of color who was there to facilitate in this operation and this white woman with a lot of status and a lot of fame and a lot of prestige. She makes a big impact everywhere she goes, especially on Williamson County Hospital, had the word Trump written on her inner thigh. And she didn't take that position with me. I won't quote what she said back to me. But she we differed in that. And that's when I chose to let it go. Like I took that conversation as far as I could with perspective taking and empathy and seeing things from multiple people's perspective. And what my mom really wanted me to do was to see that from her perspective.
