Five Women Came Forward Claiming Trump Inappropriately Touched Them
"He was like an octopus. His hands were everywhere."
Oct 12, 2016
1. If this is true why did they wait until the election is less than a month away to come forward?
2. For every woman Trump supposedly touched inappropriately...the guy behind the tree had 10.
And he may become our new 'First Lady'.
And he may become our new 'First Lady'.
Update (10/12/16, 10:47 p.m.): In a chilling essay, People writer Natasha Stoynoff wrote about her own alleged encounters with Donald Trump after she was assigned the "Trump beat" for People in the early 2000s. In December of 2005—approximately the time of the Billy Bush comments—Stoynoff went to Mar-A-Lago to interview Trump and Melania for a wedding feature story.
Stoynoff claims that when (a very pregnant) Melania went upstairs to get changed, Trump insisted he show Stoynoff a "tremendous" room in the mansion:
"We walked into that room alone, and Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat. ...I was grateful when Trump's longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself."
After the butler left, Trump allegedly leaned in again:
"'You know we're going to have an affair, don't you?' he declared, in the same confident tone he uses when he says he's going to make America great again. 'Have you ever been to Peter Luger's for steaks? I'll take you. We're going to have an affair, I'm telling you.'"
The next morning, Trump allegedly waited at Stoynoff's massage therapy appointment at the spa. Stoynoff managed to avoid him, but she was so afraid that she cut her appointment short and asked to be taken off the Trump beat.
"Talk is talk," Stoynoff wrote. "But it wasn't just talk in my case, it was very much action. And, just for the record, Mr. Trump, I did not consent."
Update (10/12/16, 8:10 p.m.): Just two days after Sunday's debate, even more women have come forward to share their own alleged sexual assault experiences.
Now-36-year-old Mindy McGillivray from Palm Springs, Florida, told PalmBeachPost.com that Trump groped her bottom 13 years ago at one of his properties, Mar-a-Lago:
"All of a sudden I felt a grab...I turn around and there's Donald. He sort of looked away quickly...[I thought], 'OK, am I going to say something now and make a scene or be quiet?' I chose to stay quiet."
A June Facebook post by Miss Washington 2013 has also resurfaced on social media, in which Cassandra Searles claimed Trump was a "misogynist" who "treated us like cattle" during her time on the pageant:
"Do y'all remember that one time we had to do our onstage introductions, but this one guy treated us like cattle and made us do it again because we didn't look him in the eyes? Do you also remember when he then proceeded to have us lined up so he could get a closer look at his property? Oh I forgot to mention that guy will be in the running to become the next President of the United States. I love the idea of having a misogynist as the President. #HeWillProbablySueMe #iHaveWorseStoriesSoComeAtMeBro #Drumpf."
Over the weekend, Donald Trump claimed that his disturbing comments from 2005 that condone sexual assault were just "locker room talk"—a phrase that promotes rape culture while trivializing the objectification of women. Now, two women are claiming that his "locker room talk" claim is not only derogatory, but a downright lie.
The New York Times interviewed two women, 74-year-old Jessica Leeds and 33-year-old Rachel Crooks, both of whom Trump allegedly touched inappropriately. "He was like an octopus," Leeds, who currently lives in Manhattan, told the Times. "His hands were everywhere."
Over three decades ago, Leeds—then 38—was upgraded to first class on her flight, and the flight attendant seated her next to Trump. About 45 minutes into the flight, Leeds claims that Trump lifted the armrest and grabbed her all over her body before she fled back to her coach seat. Seeing Trump claim during the debate that he had never sexually assaulted a woman made her want to "punch the screen," she added.
Crooks worked at the Trump Tower in Manhattan in 2005—the same year of the infamous Billy Bush interview—when she decided to introduce herself to him. When they shook hands, Trump allegedly wouldn't let go, and he started kissing her. "It was so inappropriate," she told the Times. "I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that."
Trump was caught on tape telling Bush the same year that he "just starts kissing" women. "It's like a magnet," he said then. "Just kiss. I don't even wait."
However, when a reporter from the Times called Trump Tuesday night, he became "highly agitated" and shouted into the phone that "none of this ever took place," telling the reporter that she's "a disgusting human being" and that his comments were, once again, "locker room talk."
"I was upset that it had happened to other people, but also took some comfort in knowing I wasn't the only one he had done it to," Crooks told the Times. "People should know [Trump's] behavior is pervasive and it is real."
Leeds added that his behavior "is deep seated in his character."
"To those who would vote for him," she said, "I would wish for them to reflect on this."
Trump camp calls on Clinton to fire aides over emails mocking Catholics
Imagine they said this:
{Islam as a religion is a throwback to the dark ages and the 10th-century troglodytes still roam today. Oh...and their leader is a pedophile.}
They would have been fired before it hit the airways.
I guess it's socially acceptable to admonish Catholics because nothing ever comes of it.

Clinton campaigns in Colorado amid new WikiLeaks dump
The Trump campaign called Wednesday for Hillary Clinton to fire top advisers over emails, published by WikiLeaks, that appeared to mock politically conservative Catholics and push for a “Catholic Spring” from within.
Jennifer Palmieri, now the Clinton campaign’s director of communications, said in a 2011 email exchange that some politically conservative Catholics "think [Catholicism] is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion. Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals."
Palmieri was responding to a message from John Halpin, a senior fellow at the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. Halpin remarked on a magazine article that discussed how both 21st Century Fox CEO Rupert Murdoch and "Robert Thompson, managing editor of the [Wall Street Journal], are raising their kids Catholic."
"Friggin' Murdoch baptized his kids in Jordan where John the Baptist baptized Jesus," Halpin said, before dismissing Catholic beliefs on gender as “backwards.”
"It's an amazing bastardization of the faith," Halpin added. "They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy."
He provided strategic guidance and public opinion research for Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign. So maybe he could do for Clinton what he did for Al.
The exchange was included in a batch of hacked emails purportedly from Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta's account that were posted by WikiLeaks. Podesta was copied on the exchange between Palmieri and Halpin, but did not comment.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., described the comments as "staggering."
"To disparage the Catholic Church as ‘severely backwards’ is an insult to millions of people across the nation," Ryan, who is Catholic, said in a statement. "If anything, these statements reveal the Clinton campaign's hostile attitude toward people of faith in general.
"All Americans of faith should take a long, hard look at this and decide if these are the values we want to be represented in our next president," Ryan added. "If Hillary Clinton continues to employ people with biased and bigoted views, it's clear where her priorities lie."
Trump Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway blasted the remarks in a conference call Wednesday, saying they show the campaign’s disdain for Catholics.
“For 30 years Hillary Clinton has been openly hostile to practicing Catholics,” she said, citing Clinton’s support of partial birth abortion and the ObamaCare contraception mandate. “Now her staff is caught calling Catholics ‘backwards’ in emails seething with disdain.”
Conway called for Clinton to fire those on her staff who have expressed anti-Catholic sentiments.
“Everyone involved should be ashamed. The hostility to religious liberty and disdain for Catholics should not go unpunished,” she said. “We call on Hillary Clinton to apologize and fire the staff involved in this anti-Catholic bigotry.”
Trump, who himself was involved in a feud with Pope Francis over his immigration policies in February, also commented on the emails to a Florida crowd, saying they show members of Clinton team “viciously attacking Catholics and evangelicals.”
Latest faux controversy out of @Wikileaks hack: Accusing Jen Palmieri, who is Catholic, of being anti-Catholic.— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) October 12, 2016
“It won’t be tolerated by the voters,” he added.
Palmieri responded to the controversy by noting that she is Catholic and telling reporters, “The Russians orchestrated this hack.”
Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon dismissed what he called the “faux controversy,” also citing Palmieri's faith.
In a separate 2012 exchange, Podesta was involved in a conversation in which he appears to approve of the idea of fomenting a so-called “Catholic spring.”
In an email to Podesta, Sandy Newman of the liberal nonprofit Voices for Progress says there “needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic church.”
“I have not thought at all about how one would 'plant the seeds of the revolution,' or who would plant them,” he muses.
Podesta tells him they are creating groups to work for such a goal:
“We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this. But I think it lacks the leadership to do so now. Likewise Catholics United. Like most Spring movements, I think this one will have to be bottom up,” he says.
Angela Flood, a member of Trump’s Catholic Advisory Group and former spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Washington, said that the email showed an attempt to undermine the Catholic faith.
“Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good and other organizations are financed by George Soros and have goals inconsistent with Catholic thinking,” she said during the conference call, in response to a question from FoxNews.com. “They see this as an opportunity to infiltrate the Church and cause chaos and confusion. It is an attempt to undermine the faith.”
Rupert Murdoch is currently the executive chairman of Fox News, which includes FoxNews.com.

Think about it
The MSM goes ape shit about degrading remarks Trump made about women 11 years ago.
A married president of the United States gets a BJ in the Oval Office, lies about it, is impeached and disbarred, meanwhile is lying wife goes on the Today Show and tells Matt Lauer, "it's nothing more than a vast right wing conspiracy" and somehow what HE they did as POTUS and First Lady is less significant than what Trump did as a private citizen. The fact is if Ken Starr didn't cum up with that blue dress they would still be lying about it.
