But why did she wait so long to come out
/s
Noting then /s, but this is what people are asking. What I don't see is:
"Because I mentioned it in a documentary I made a couple of years ago that aired this past weekend and learned my comment was included. And I've eluded to it multiple times, to multiple people, and told a podcaster years before."
*alluded
Checkmate.
Katie Johnson was only 13 years old and she was a lot more than groped by Trump and Epstein.
“The second he was in front of me, he pulled me into him, and his hands were just on me and didn’t come off,” Williams said. “And then the hands started moving, and they were on the, you know, on the side of my breasts, on my hips, back down to my butt, back up, sort of then, you know – they were just on me the whole time. And I froze. I couldn’t understand what was going on.”
Williams said that Epstein and Trump continued talking while Trump’s hands were on her, “looking at each other and smiling.”
Sounds like his type.
I hate that this tracks...
He's human scum
Setting aside the seriousness of SA and the repeated examples of Trump committing it -
are we working off of the 2016 playbook or something? Between this and the rumored SA video, i'm getting strong 'grab her by the pussy' vibes. That didn't move any voters back then, why do we expect it to now? Hell, Tucker Carlson was just giving a speech where trump was "daddy", and he's "coming home to spank his children". They're aroused by trump manhandling women and children.....
All these stories do is get his core base excited; anyone who's disgusted by Trump's misogyny is already not voting for him.
Go back to calling him weird, that was so much more effective.
I mean, we can do both...
Calling them weird is effective because it makes them seem weak and gross to people who are compelled by him appearing dominant. Accusing him of sexual assault (while gross to everyone else) reinforces that image of male dominance that his base fuckin' loves.
Those two messages are working against each other.
I think she's entitled to accuse the man who assaulted her of doing so.
Of course she is.
