E. Jean Carroll Says She's Been Fired by Elle Magazine. I'll Give You One Guess Who She's Blaming.

When E. Jean Carroll made her accusation against Donald Trump last summer, I paid her the courtesy of taking her seriously. I listened to what she had to say and considered it on its own merits. And speaking as someone who is not a Trump fan or supporter, I did not believe her. Her story just didn't add up. And in my opinion, nothing she's said or done since then has improved her credibility. Her assertion that "Most people think of rape as being sexy" was the last straw for me.

But I also don't wish her any ill will, so the following news is just sad. Neil Vigdor and Ed Shanahan, NYT:

E. Jean Carroll, the longtime Elle magazine advice columnist who last year accused Donald J. Trump of raping her before he was elected president, said on Tuesday that she was fired by the publication because of Mr. Trump’s repeated insults against her.

Maybe Carroll really does believe what she's saying. But blaming Trump for this does not inspire confidence in her powers of reason. Out of all the places in the world where Donald Trump might have any influence whatsoever, I just don't believe Elle magazine is one of them. It seems more

“I’ll Give You One Guess Who She’s Blaming.”

Her too effective bartender?

Her ineffective plastic surgeon?

Her parents?

Society?

Men?

The Russians?

Illegitimate bias against washed up hacks, no longer able to write anything that will sell?

Trump is not only the first pro-America president since Reagan but the tough street fighter we needed to defend & save our Constitutional Republic from leftwing traitors like “EwwwJean”.
