2 GOP senators [Willard] say rape allegation against Trump should be investigated [tr] [ed]
CNN ^ | June 25, 2019 | Ted Barrett and Kristin Wilson

Posted on 06/26/2019 6:27:54 AM PDT by C19fan

Two Republican senators said Tuesday the rape allegation made against President Donald Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll should be explored to determine the veracity of the allegation against the President -- even as many Senate Republicans sidestepped questions over the matter and defended Trump.

Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said both Trump and Carroll should be questioned about the alleged assault. "I think anybody that makes an accusation like that, they should come forward," Ernst said when asked if Carroll should be believed. "But obviously there has to be some additional information. They need to interview her. They need to visit with him."

Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah said there needs to be an "evaluation" but that he didn't know what entity should conduct it, "whether it's Congress or whether it's another setting, I'm not sure."

So, this nutjob says rape is sexy and she lifts her story from a TV show, Law and Order, right down to the rape fantasy in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. But, yeah, she's "credible"!

Btw, the episode she plagiarized is Season 13, Episode 11, Theater Tricks.

“Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said both Trump and Carroll should be questioned about the alleged assault.”

Didn’t Ernst say she was raped, but did not pursue it? If it happened then she and her alleged attacker must also need to be questioned about it.

I thought there was already a process for reporting rapes, call the police, not CNN.

Release the names of the Congressional sex offenders and their staff. $17,000,000 in taxpayer funds were used to hush up the charges.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

I wholly agree, this claim SHOULD be investigated.

Specifically what should be investigated is CNN’s role in fabricating the claim.

Did CNN pay or otherwise compensate her in exchange for a false rape accusation?

It very much looks that way.

Where were these senators when Larry Sinclair accused Obama of gay sex and cocain use? That was a series accusation that needed to be investigated. I want answers!

CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday interviewed E. Jean Carroll, a woman who alleged Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990’s.

Bergdorf Goodman is a very high-end department store packed with attentive salespeople and security which makes Carroll’s claims even more preposterous.

Anderson Cooper was left speechless and stuttering and decided to cut to commercial break after E. Jean Carroll called rape “sexy.”

“I think most people think of rape as being sexy,” Carroll said. “They think of the fantasies.”

The woman is not well.

And it appears she is also a plagiarist.

Carroll’s story is eerily similar to an episode of Law and Order from season 13 — right down to the rape fantasy in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room.

By all appearances, the PRESUMPTION OF GUILT is the legal standard these days.

Every member of the House and Senate should be asked if he or she is party to any non-disclosure agreements.

A refusal to answer should constitute an admission.

Then voters should act accordingly.

Mitt is a tattletale, the kid who was always reporting on the other kid's supposed misdeeds to win the teacher's approval.

He thinks demonstrating his own superior virtue will earn him his own planet or something.

I don't think he picked staffers who would discourage such behavior in him.

She’s nuckin-futz, man.
Maybe she misinterpreted a hemorrhoid flare up as a “lustful quivering”.

Keep in mind that many Freepers over the years have insisted that if you wouldn’t vote for Willard because of his agenda, then you want Obama to be president.

A few have delivered a meal culpa and made amends.

As for the majority, well ... I guess if they don’t support Mitt Romneycare now they want Obama. Because the they set that as their carved in stone standard.

Joni should concentrate on Iowa.
It seems to be the limit of her IQ
