A former Trump campaign staffer claims in a new lawsuit that the then-presidential candidate forcibly kissed her in 2016.

Alva Johnson says the Republican candidate grabbed her hand and tried to kiss her on the lips during a rally in Tampa, Fla., on Aug. 24, 2016, according to the suit, which was filed Monday and first reported by the Washington Post.

But Johnson turned her head and Trump wound up kissing the side of her mouth, she said.

She called the encounter, which happened as Trump was exiting an RV outside the rally, “super-creepy and inappropriate.”

...her career at NBC would be over if it got back to her bosses and was misinterpreted as her having some kind of special relationship with him. After all those weeks of her being called out from the podium and harassed to his crowds, he had the gall to walk up to her in all his orange glory and smooch her on the mouth. She was, of course, creeped out and disgusted.

My interpretation was it's always about dominance with that effing ape: Look at me, I own you, I can make the mob beat you up, I can put my hands and mouth on you.
