CARPENTER: Whats out there is tabloid trash. If someone wants to comment on it, they can talk to my lawyer. Its categorically false. You should be ashamed for spreading this kind of smut. Donald Trump supporters should be held to account for it.
COHEN: Im not spreading smut.
CARPENTER: I will not be intimidated. I will continue to make my thoughts known about Donald Trump. Im not backing down.
Until that interview, most news outlets were avoiding the story, even here on FR the mods were deleting the threads.

Just say flat out it is a damn lie, I never had sex with Ted if it is a lie. Don’t mince and parse words.

Shades of Bill Clinton-”I did not have sex with that woman-Miss Lewinsky.”
Don’t the King Makers set up these honey pots to compromise all the Washington players so they can make them dance when they need too?
