A companion thread to the Reade-Biden thread. Let's give these women equal time.
Here's a list to get us going: https://www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12. Shall we start at the top? 1. Jessica Leeds Jessica Leeds told the New York Times in October 2016 that Trump reached his hand up her skirt and groped her while seated next to her on a flight in the late 1970s. "He was like an octopus. His hands were everywhere," Leeds said, adding that she fled to the back of the plane. During an interview on NBC News' "Megyn Kelly Today" in December, Leeds added that she was at a gala in New York three years after the incident on the plane when she ran into Trump, who recognized her and called her a c---. "He called me the worst name ever," she said. "It was shocking. It was like a bucket of cold water being thrown over me." Trump's response: Trump denied the allegations and during a rally in October 2016, suggested that Leeds wasn't attractive enough for him to assault. "People that are willing to say, 'Oh, I was with Donald Trump in 1980, I was sitting with him on an airplane, and he went after me,'" Trump said. "Believe me, she would not be my first choice." |
Nope. Gilberthorpe has a history of making up sleazy allegations. Also, he was 18 during the flight in question.

Leeds made her accusation to The NY Times in October 2016 (see Times article dated 10/12/2016).
Just searched Fox for her name around that period, from 9/1/2016 to 11/30/2016. Nothing came up on Fox. NOTHING. |
I'm sorry, what? Gilberthorpe is the one saying it didn't happen. |
If someone tells you what they can do: (on bus with billy bush audio), and he is accused by countless women of having been assaulted that exact way, you should believe him.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, acts like a duck... |
Jessica Leeds and Rachel Crook’s interview with the Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/politics/100000004705688/his-hands-were-all-over-me-trump.html?searchResultPosition=1 “About 45 minutes after takeoff, she [Leeds] recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her. According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hands up her skirt. “He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.” She fled to the back of the plane. “It was an assault,” she said.” |
Thank you for starting this, OP. It will be a long thread. |
That’s the plan. Someone new every day. Would appreciate any help from those that have time/long memories! |
...it’s a Trump |
The links expose Gilberthorpe as an unreliable sleaze. Some Cons had linked to him but the moderator deleted their posts for unrelated reasons. |
There was also that time that Trump raped his wife. |
Ivanka is coming tomorrow—she’s #2 on Business Insider’s list. (The BI list has very good summaries so that’s why I’m starting with them.) I’m trying to keep everything compartmentalized because, you know, there are just so many accusers that this thread could get confusing really fast. |
I think you mean Ivana. |
Well, maybe. Maybe not. |
Yes, sorry, trying to do this on my phone between Webexes and Zooms. Would appreciate any help! |
