A Running List Of The Women Who've Accused Donald Trump Of Sexual Misconduct

On Oct. 8, 2016, The Washington Post published footage from 2005 of serial misogynist Donald Trump bragging that as a famous man, he can get away with anything. Like kissing women without waiting for permission. And grabbing women by the pussy. Trump has defended these comments, repeatedly, as “locker room talk.” When pressed by Anderson Cooper during the second presidential debate, he said that he absolutely had not sexually assaulted women.

But since Trump’s remarks emerged ― and well before then ― women have shared their allegations of sexual abuse against the Republican presidential nominee.

Trump and his administration have repeatedly denied all of the accusations, most recently tweeting that women he didn’t know were making “false accusations.” In October 2017, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested that all of Trump’s accusers were lying.

Below is a working list of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. These allegations span more than three decades, from the early 1980s to 2016, and are presented here based on the date they became public.

1. Alva Johnson

Her account: Johnson, a former staffer on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, told The Washington Post that the president kissed her without her consent outside of a rally in Florida on August 24, 2016. “I immediately felt violated because I wasn’t expecting it or wanting it,” Johnson said. “I can still see his lips coming straight for my face.” She said she turned her face away from Trump’s kiss, which landed on the side of her mouth, telling the Post that it felt “super-creepy and inappropriate.” Johnson filed a federal lawsuit on Feb. 25, 2016, seeking unspecified damages for emotional pain and suffering.

Trump’s response: White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to Johnson’s accusation, calling it “absurd on its face.”

I didn't think it would get this close to the 2020 election.
I either thought our country would be dust, or we'd have some "due process" beginning.

But here we are, on the cusp of another "election."

Nothing's changed to improve our election process since that last bull shit one (which Hillary won), so Putin has all his tools in hand.

If the GOPutin ever worked hard on anything, you know they are creating a HUGE deceptive set of lies and cheats for the 2020 election cycle.

Be afraid.

The republicans adore and go squishy submissive for their KGOP Comrade Dirty Donny, republican Draft-dodger-in-Chief. Woe unto their little republican children, who are growing up thinking that lying, cheating, adultery, treason, and sexual predation are the way to live your life.

Sad.
