Yoga instructor accuses Donald Trump of sexual misconduct

That didn't take long.

A day after the final presidential debate of the 2016 campaign, a yoga instructor and lifestyle coach appeared at a news conference to accuse Donald Trump of sexual misconduct.

Fighting back tears, 45-year-old Karena Virginia became the 10th woman to accuse the Republican presidential candidate of inappropriate behavior.

She alleged that in 1998, Trump walked up to her at the U.S. Open tennis tournament, grabbed her arm, and then touched her breast, according to NBC News.

"I was in shock. I flinched. 'Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who I am?' That's what he said to me," she told reporters at a New York news conference Thursday that was announced by women's rights attorney Gloria Allred during Trump's debate with Hillary Clinton. Allred said Virginia is "not considering a lawsuit at this time," but wanted to speak out in response to Trump's "ludicrous" denial of other allegations against him, according to NBC News.

I can’t remember a Republican Presidential candidate in my lifetime that was NOT accused of abusing women and cheating on his taxes. That card expired with the race card.

Even if it was true, in 1998 Trump was entitled to one free grope.

That’s all that happened.

NOT GUILTY!!!!

grabbed her arm, and then touched her breast...

DEATH PENALTY!!!

I know it’s WRONG to touch a gal when she wasn’t willing but the media STILL doesn’t discern between RAPE OVER AND OVER and groping a few times.

God forbid, shillary wins, I’ll back Trump on whatever move he makes.

Yes Virginia, there was a Gropenator. Day after the California recall election and Arnold won, his accusers suddenly became non persons. Nobody in the media would return their phone calls. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame while you got it and realize that once the election is done, they’re done with you. Hope you got paid plenty by the Dems. Maybe dogs might be able to hear your whining about how Trump groped you on and after November 9.

This is getting so tiresome, I think even people who aren't particularly fond of Trump are getting jaded.

In fact I didn't even read the article, just clicked on it because I wanted to "pivot" to an opinion on a related topic:
The Dims have shown that they will try to pin a sex scandal on ANY Republican candidate. (They might have had a hard time finding a scintilla of a scandal with Romney, but they found other absurd claims to make about him.)

We've already seen the Dems do this to GHWBush, Bob Dole and John McCain. If either Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio had been our nominee, the Dems would've been ready to unload sex scandal claims on them too.

If the Dems can't find a sex scandal, they'll manufacture one ... a la Anita Hill.

All future Republican nominees had better be prepared to have their family lives destroyed by Dems and their willing accomplices in the media.

And for that matter, if we indicted every guy that “ACCIDENTALLY” touched a gal in a bar or nightclub, there’would be a back up in the courts for years.

It’s not right. But it is true.

On Twitter last night Brit Hume was saying the reason they didn’t address the O’Keefe videos was because they needed time to vet them. They don’t have to vet Trump’s fabricated accusers. It’s just too outlandish.

Gloria Allred fondled my balls in 2000. I do not intend to sue her at this time.

She sniffed my butt in 1999. I do not intend to sue her at this time.

It is possible that if you grab a woman by the arm in just the right way you can touch her breast. My college professor was keen to stand behind us while we were in computer lab and to help us would bend over our shoulder so her breasts would be in contact with the upper part of our back. A couple of guys in the class commented on that and some other things she did. Those were some fun days! /s

It’s such a badly packaged story, you honestly think it was a rush job.

Trump walks up to you at the U.S. Open, not knowing you from a hole in the wall, and just grabs your boobs?

No witnesses, no corroboration? AND YOU SAT ON THIS supposedly for damn near 20 years, and all of a sudden you are teary-eyed?

But feel no need to bring a lawsuit?

If you listen to her statements, she’s really saying he took her by the arm and when that happened he “touched” her breast. Without her histrionics, she is describing next to nothing.

women's rights attorney Gloria Allred
Become your own lawyer and you'll have a fool for a client. Hire Gloria Allred and you'll have a DAMN fool for a client. What's the difference between Glora Allred and a rooster? The rooster clucks defiant.....

She works for HuffPo, and not once in the past year had she said “Hey! Guess what happened to me?!”?
