BREAKING: Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said.

“No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.”

At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment.

More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before.

About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her.

According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.

“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.”

She fled to the back of the plane. “It was an assault,” she said.

Ms. Leeds has told the story to at least four people close to her, who also spoke with The New York Times.

Mr. Trump’s claim that his crude words had never turned into actions was similarly infuriating to a woman watching on Sunday night in Ohio: Rachel Crooks.

Ms. Crooks was a 22-year-old receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building one morning in 2005.

Aware that her company did business with Mr. Trump, she turned and introduced herself. They shook hands, but Mr. Trump would not let go, she said. Instead, he began kissing her cheeks. Then, she said, he “kissed me directly on the mouth.”

It didn’t feel like an accident, she said. It felt like a violation.

“It was so inappropriate,” Ms. Crooks recalled in an interview. “I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that.”

To say that I want to go punch this guy in the nads is an understatement. For every woman out there who has been touched without her consent. For every woman who has been conditioned that this is just how men are. For every woman who has been told to suck it up and deal. For every woman who has had to be subjected to this one time, five times, more times than she can count.

That woman is me, and I expect that woman is many other women here on this site. Burn this mofo down to the ground.

[Rob L 3,811]

I am out, I truly have nothing....the injection of this A**CLOWN into the process who continues to have the "worst week in presidential politics ever" and yet more than one third of the electorate seems to have no embarrassment about voting for and defending this guy. I promise you this will not drop his national averages below 38%.

What does that say about this country?

That is exactly what my beloved just said to me when I sent him this article. "His base won't care." And it's true, these people don't care. It's "Democrats are bad, mmkay?" or "Save the Fetuses!" or "Those broads had it coming and they probably enjoyed it." These aren't the Republicans that I grew up knowing -- rational, thoughtful, intelligent people with whom I disagreed on some or even many issues. These are people who are willfully ignorant and terminally incurious. And at the helm of the Good Ship Ignoramus is a serial molester of women.

How great indeed.

"High agitated" Trump shouts at NYT reporter asking him about sex assault claims: “You are a disgusting human being”

The New York Times reports that two women have come forward to accuse Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of inappropriately touching them. When asked about the claims, he became angry and insulting.

In a phone interview on Tuesday night, a highly agitated Mr. Trump denied every one of the women’s claims.

“None of this ever took place,” said Mr. Trump, who began shouting at The Times reporter who was questioning him. He said that The Times was making up the allegations to hurt him and that he would sue the news organization if it reported them.

“You are a disgusting human being,” he told the reporter as she questioned him about the women’s claims.

A vulgarian. Not a gentleman. Hopefully he'll move out of NY .

People who've dealt with him have known for decades what he is like. The Metropolitan Club refused to even consider him for membership, and that was before all this obscene stuff became public knowledge. He's a social pariah.

Good riddance Donald!!!!!!

I used to have a schoolgirl crush on Kurt Andersen. I was an odd schoolgirl.

[Jacque67 7,328]

So the Trump campaign has issued a statement..."fiction" "character assassination " and says it "trivializes sexual assault " (regarding the NYTimes article)

Oh, the irony.

It is interesting to note Donald has not threatened to sue the NYTimes (yet). He has sued his staff and other papers for much less. The NYTIMES has a great team of lawyers and always acts on the side of caution.

Popcorn!!!
