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.”

There would be none of this if women actually wanted to be equal to men. Today, women want the same rights as men except when they want to be treated like women.

Helpless (and opportunistic) women come out of the woodwork in droves as helpless victims whenever they want preferential treatment and money because of their sex. What percentage of such claims are actually valid?

Whats ‘really’ awful for us is the Clinton Machine is ‘very happy’ we continue to focus on this rather than on her e-mails and her positions.

People can go after Bill but he’s not running.....and she’s quite happy the fingers pointing at Bill now too, while she takes her naps and prepares for the next “show”.

Agreed. It is obvious team HC has decided they will lose on the issues, so they have gone personal. It will no doubt remain that way until the election.

Interesting. Please post if they provide proof.

Also, this is from Mike Cernovich:

This is from May. Apparently, these are the writers who did the earlier NYT hit piece about Trump on women which was largely discredited. Cernovich did a piece on them then:

MSM is trawling for sleaze.

They can’t talk positive about Hillary so they tear down Trump.

That says a lot more about them than it does about Trump.

“What kind of image does it project to the world, and our children, if we elect an alleged sexual predator?”

What the HELL even happened to innocent until proven guilty?”

Way, Way beyond that:

What the HELL about President Bill Clinton!!!!!!!

Man, the leftists suddenly acquired Puritanism!

Gloria is only being fair. After all didn’t she do the same thing for all of BC’s sexual assault and rape victims?

Funny you should say that - this was Gloria's sanctimonious line this morning.

Maybe Carville was on to something when he talked about never knowing what you’ll pick up dragging a hundred dollar bill through...wherever.

This is beyond ridiculous. We need Ivanka to intervene.

Show me a picture of these Tramps from that era and I can probably discredit this story. His standard for women is much much higher than a normal man’s.

You watch Oprah? You should be banned from FR just for admitting to that.

I don’t give a damn that he’s a male chauvinist pig; he’s my male chauvinist big, you douche bag.

Sure, they accuse right in October before the election. Clintons accusers have been saying it for 20+ years.

Agreed! Like nobody expected faked accusations to come out of the woodwork.

Yawn!

MSM is desperate.

If Hillary was really winning they wouldn’t need to go down to the gutter to throw something out that might take out Trump.

They’re in panic and their hit pieces show it.

If this is all they have, they have nothing. People are tuning out new Sexgate allegations.
