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

Posted on 10/12/2016 4:38:35 PM PDT by Pinkbell

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.”

Also, he will be living and carousing in the WH, he’s out campaigning for her, and will be in charge of the economy, as per Hitlery.

It’s like another co-presidency scenario.

30 years ago in other words and the criminal statute of limitations ran out long time ago.

Who cares? This is old, old stuff.


THIRTY YEARS AGO?!?! And some Freepers are jumping all over it :(

Ah-nold faced Gloria’s Alred’s trial by ordeal in 2003.

CA voters ended up electing him Governor anyway.

People are tired of the sex trash talk.

Trump will become our next President.

If this is the best the NYT can come up with, they have nothing.

They put out that garbage about George Bush!

He’s creeping back up in the polls so the Clinton/msm had to go with these stupid stories. And yet, again, wobbly freepers and no-Trumpers are back in action.

Just the timing of it makes it all seem suspicious.

So, where were these woman all these years? And why didn't they say anything months ago? :)

I suspect it's all bogus.

Your posts are full of garbage. And let me remind you that if you are going to mention me in a post, you need to ping me.

Who are you voting for? Hillary or writing in Cruz’s name?

Granted, this was when I was a teenager, in the late sixties, but boys started out with kissing, quickly moved on to groping, girls said no. End of story. We weren’t panicked or insulted, we just said no.

That is just who he is...none of it comes as a surprise to me

Give us a break. Trump's comments about women who "let" men have casual sex with men with "star" power is an accurate observation about some women. You may not be familiar with, or have ever experienced that kind of thing, but rock stars, TV and movie stars, famous athletes, and even some politicians find themselves with a plentiful supply of willing women. They have no need to bother with or chase after the women who aren't interested in them.

Do you think guys like Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson or Mick Jagger have any reason to bother some woman who isn't interested in them? One good test to identify guys who have never had a shortage of women interested in them - their wives are or look like supermodels.

This is the same tactic used to undermine Herman Cain's candidacy. Notice that once he suspended his campaign, all the allegations disappeared. Funny how there is absolutely no record of these complaints documented at the time these alleged 'assaults' took place.

Fortunately, Trump isn't Herman Cain and will persevere.

So Jim let you out of your casket after a two week suspension? I assume you’re voting for William Jennings Bryan.

First class seats in aircraft of that era did not have a movable armrest - there was a short vertical barrier containing a tray table. He would have had to get out of his seat to do what is claimed. Any other witnesses?

Shhhhh.. Don't let the truth get into the left-wing narrative and ruin their fun. It could be another Buckhead moment or something. :P (And you're right.)

NYT and CNN are not giving up on their campaign against Trump. So Trump was a horny pervert 30 years ago. I don’t care. Instead of apologizing Trump needs to slam Hillary on policy.
************
Exactly!
I want the Clinton Globalists to lose based on issues!

To paraphrase the old Twain saying:
Don’t get down in the mud with the Clintons;they’ve got a lifetime of experience, and they enjoy this.
It’s exciting for them.
