The continuing defamation of E. Jean Carroll by Donald J. Trump...
...as well as Nikki Haley's horrible and ridiculous "I'm not a lawyer and I'm not paying attention to the trials" excuses...
...brings to mind the Access Hollywood tape.
"I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”
Turns out that was Donald Trump's one honest moment, as evidenced by the multiple accusations made by multiple women over the course of decades. (I add that these are "alleged" AND that I. believe. the. women.)
To abridge the detailed list provided by ABC News in 2020, omitting those who claimed he entered dressing rooms unannounced:
1. Jessica Leeds - Grabbed her genitals
2. Kristin Anderson - hand up the skirt
3. Jill Harth - his hands between her legs also tried to kiss her.
4. Cathy Heller - grabbed her unexpectedly and started to kiss her on the lips.
5. Temple Taggart McDowell - 21-year-old Miss Utah -- Trump, who owned the pageant at the time, kissed her "directly on the lips.”
6. Karena Virginia - He grabbed her arm and groped her breast. Virginia, who was 27 at the time of the alleged incident, said she flinched, and Trump said, "Don't you know who I am?”
7. Mindy McGillivray - Trump grabbed her rear end while she was working as a photographer's assistant at a 2003 event at Mar-a-Lago. The photographer, Ken Davidoff, told the paper he vividly remembers McGillivray immediately pulling him aside to say, “Donald just grabbed my a--.”
8. Rachel Crooks, a secretary who worked in Trump’s building, told The New York Times that when she first met Trump in 2005, he shook her hand, then kissed her on the lips, while outside an elevator at Trump Tower.
