Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately
New York Times ^ | October 12, 2016 | MEGAN TWOHEY and MICHAEL BARBARO

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.”

So watching trumps show is embarrassing..

Let me guess, you were offended by watching James Bond movies with Pussy Galore and Dr. Holly Goodhead.

This is the same tactic used to undermine Herman Cain's candidacy. Notice that once he suspended his campaign, all the allegations disappeared.

Well, with Herman Cain, I think they were all true. Even Mike Huckabee, who was very skeptical at first, finally started to take the allegations against Cain seriously when the last accuser, whose first name was Ginger, I believe, produced a very credible testimony, and there were phone records too.

Anyway, I'm skeptical about these accusations against Trump. It's all about the timing.

The Party organs are going to parade one woman after another like they smeared Herman Cain. Remember, the nature of the evidence does not matter, the severity of the accusation demands something be done.

From this point forward I will not use the term MSM. Party organs is more appropriate, and is a term from the old USSR.

You have nothing but made-up BS National Enquirer allegations.

Which of course is exactly what we have here regarding Trump - except that the source is less reliable than the National Enquirer.

sick of this crap.
People come out with allegations, and the media run with it as if this was fact. On the other hand we see Clinton saying one thing behind closed doors, they are in talks with the DOJ, etc.
Hell how can see CNN even say they are not biased is not biased.

He’s been running for over a year now and they’re just coming out? BS. They would have gone for a payoff years ago or at least come out during the primaries. Press on Trump. F!#& the media.

It’s the same smear they always use. Remember Herman Cain? Same thing. An ignorant populace soaks it up.

We battle not against flesh, but against principalities. That’s what God has told us.

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST MR.TRUMP WILL PROSPER.

How the hell can anyone believe this crap and think CNN, NBC is not biased.

“He did that kind of stuff all the time to women”

Could you give some examples? I think I’ve probably watched a few dozen episodes, and I don’t remember anything like that. I do recall that early on in the show he disapproved of some of the female contestants using sex to sale things during their tasks. It seems to me Megyn would have brought that up with the other example at the first debate, if he said lots of things like that on the show.

What I find odd is that the way she tells the story, the airliner must have been empty. No one else on board noticed a rape in progress.

Right.


Read my mind!

These are very old allegations.

Herman Cain faced much more recent charges of sexual impropriety.

Like I said, they have nothing incriminating on Trump.

If they did, they would let us know about it.

Trump needs to get the lawsuits going immediately. If they think there are no consequences, the left will dredge up hoards of women making accusations (perhaps all with no evidence and most of whom may never have even met him). He needs to start trying to nip this in the bud, before it spirals out of control.

On a side note, Isn’t it amazing how a few months ago when Trump used the world “pussy” to mean a coward, we could not even use the word—now it is all over the news...

My how fluid the journalistic standards seem to be. Sheesh!
