Following an accusation made by beloved columnist E. Jean Carroll that President Donald Trump raped her in the mid-1990’s, the hosts of “The View” weighed in, putting their support behind an investigation into the incident.
While the president has categorically denied the claims, host Joy Behar said that she believes Carroll, saying, “If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck,” of Trump.
Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Republican Sen. John McCain was not on Trump’s side either saying, “In general, I don’t believe anything anybody tells me without asking questions,” she said, but added that she “would like to open up the investigation”
Carroll’s accusation was made public Friday afternoon, and show host Whoopi Goldberg introduced the esteemed guest to Monday’s edition of the show:
“Advice columnist E. Jean Carroll is the latest woman to make sexual assault allegations against the guy in the White House,” moderator Goldberg said at the top of the show.
“He’s denying this ever happened.” Behar was quick to point out, adding, “It’s not like we don’t have any evidence that he would like to assault women. He said that on the Access Hollywood tape.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin, who serves as a legal expert for ABC, noted that Carroll had “immediately told two friends,” one of which instructed the alleged victim to stay quiet about the assault.
“This happened allegedly in 1995 or 1996, and that is why, even today, rape is the most unreported crime in our country,” explained Hostin.
“Bill de Blasio has offered to open up the investigation,” said McCain. “I think, 100 percent, we should open up that investigation. I think [Carroll] deserves that.”
The self-described conservative also said that she, of course, believes that Trump is “capable of sexual assault and raping women,” but said that she still believes that assault allegations should be treated with a certain degree of skepticism.
“I have a problem — and I think of the Asia Argento story — believe everyone all the time and not asking questions,” said McCain. “In life in general, I don’t believe anything anybody tells me without asking questions.”
“I’m a politician’s daughter,” she continued. “I’ve been lied to my entire life by people.”
“Again, I know this probably makes me unpopular in this space, but she’s accusing a lot of other very prominent, famous men of sexual assault, and I believe, of rape.”
“I would just like to open up the investigation,” repeated McCain. “I would like to know more information.”
Well......if Meghan demands it, we have no choice.
Like they did for bill clinton, and like they investigated claims that bammy had a gay affair with a man.
Why do I feel like pizza tonight?
Or being an organ donor.
“...beloved columnist E. Jean Carroll...”
I never even heard of this woman until a week or so ago. Who exactly is she beloved by?
Meghan, why don’t you investigate if your father is still dead.
Yes, and living in and spreading their excrement, all over the streets of various cities.
Peach
But was it “Rape-Rape”?
Ask Whoopie.
Your off-topic comments in the middle of a thread are the equivalent if someone passing gas when the hostess is handing out ice cream and cake at a birthday party. You could get the same job done with a private reply. Oh, but then no one would know how important you are and you wouldn’t get that hall-monitor tingle up your leg. If JimRob cared, he could have the mods put an end to blog pimps in an instant, but he hasn’t. Please quit disrupting threads with your snits.
Getting nuttier every day. Their primary character trait is disingenousness. Always remember that when you read anything they say. It’s like a secret decoder ring. Lol.
No.
How about that? I'll toss my snits all about as I please.
She thinks this will be payback, and delights in this sordid crap.
I wonder how she reacts when people say her father was an adulterer who dumped his wife for Cindy?
How do you investigate a 20 year old he said/she said incident?
What in the F do you “investigate” when the purported “victim” never filed a police report and can’t even pinpoint the year, and there were no witnesses?
Meghan McCain we have police departments. If this woman feels she was the victim of a crime she needs to call the police like other citizens.
Only effing ‘elites’ think congress should ‘investigate’ for liberal elites. Let this woman call the police. If she’s telling the truth the police will refer her case over for prosecution.
If she’s lying they’ll do to her what they’re doing to Jussie Smollett... they’ll sue her or arrest her ... That’s how the system works sweetie... (for all of us ‘normal citizens’...) the kind who aren’t above the law like you so called ‘elites’.

Chicago Sues Jussie Smollett To Pay For Cost Of Investigating False Hate Crime Report
City officials previously ordered the “Empire” actor to pay $130,106 for police overtime incurred during the inquiry into his claim of a hate crime.
She must be ‘the fat primate’ from the other article.
She is such a douche bag for a female. Gads what an embarrassing piece of work.
I demand the U.S. Navy use Me-Again McStain’s fat butt to block the Straits of Hormuz.
