The Trump White House is hanging mistletoe — and some people are freaking out – By Kate Taylor (businessinsider.com) / Nov 27 2017
The White House has hung the mistletoe for the holiday season.
“The mistletoe is a new touch,” CNN’s Kate Bennett tweeted on Monday morning, from a tour of the White House.
Some people saw the mistletoe as a faux pas, in light of the wave of sexual harassment and assault allegations that have swept the news.
President Donald Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by 16 women.
Typically, the decision to hang mistletoe would not be controversial. And, some people argued that it still should be accepted as a holiday tradition, despite the allegations against Trump and the recent prominence of sexual harassment more generally.

PB/TK – Not sure which is funnier; media reporting on mistletoe and linking it to today’s sexual harassment storylines or people’s interweb reaction to the stories. Folks you don’t have to follow tradition, walk away from the mistletoe, ignore the mistletoe and guys if a lady kicks you in the balls for trying anything without consent under the mistletoe, accept the deserved humiliation without repercussion
