Trump accuser says the president 'should be afraid'

Source: Politico

A woman who claims President Donald Trump forcibly kissed her in 2006 told CNN on Tuesday night that she was “not surprised” that the president called her a liar in a tweet and that “he should be afraid” of the truth coming out.

"It is the first time, I guess, he's attacked me personally on Twitter, but his whole approach to this has been to deny the allegation of myself and, like you said, almost 20 women who have come forward. So it's not surprising," Rachel Crooks said in an interview. "But I would think as our president he would have more important things to do than tweet at me and try to discredit my story. I know what's true, he knows what's true and I think he should be afraid of that."

Crooks has been among the most vocal of the at least 16 women who have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against the president, accusations that the president has vehemently denied. Crooks is running this year for a seat in Ohio’s state Legislature and her story was featured in a Washington Post story earlier this week with the online headline, “Is anyone listening?”

Seemingly incensed by the story, Trump lashed out online, accusing Crooks of lying about him and his accusers of being paid to level damaging allegations against him.

Notice a pattern here folks?

Roy Moore denied the allegations against him.....the women were liars.

Rob Porter beat his ex-wives.....the women were liars.

Donald Trump is on tape bragging about sexual assault.......the women are liars.

AL Franken apologizes to Leeann Tweeden......it costs him his Senate seat.

for every woman. Enough of this *mine's bigger than yours* male BS. Let's try talking things out and getting solutions that can be acceptable to both sides on an issue.
