Trump Calls Sexual Assault Allegations “Totally Made Up Nonsense To Steal The Election”
GOP Nominee Refers To Accuser Jessica Leads As “This Crazy Woman On The Airplane”Â
Nothing ever happened with any of these women. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election. Nobody has more respect for women than me!

In a tweet Saturday afternoon (above), Donald Trump referred to sexual assault allegations against him from at least a dozen women as “totally made up nonsense to steal the election.”Â
Earlier, at a rally in New Hampshire, Trump called one of his accusers — Jessica Leads — “crazy.” In a New York Times story this week, Leads accused Trump of sexually assaulting her on an airplane more than 30 years ago, saying he grabbed her breasts and reached up her skirt.Â
“We’re not going to back down, and remember this, it’s a rigged election, because you have phony people coming up with phony allegations, with no witnesses,” Trump said. “How about this crazy woman on the airplane? I mean, can anybody believe that one?
“It’s a crazy world we’re living in,” he added. “But that’s what I mean, it’s a rigged election, because they’re taking these unsubstantiated, no witnesses, and putting it on the front pages of newspapers. So it’s a rigged election, but we’re not going to let it happen.”
Trump, of course, effectively admitted to sexually assaulting women in an “Access Hollywood” video from 2005. But now that he’s actually being accused of it, he’s denying the substance of his own words. However, he has yet to produce any real evidence to refute the women’s claims.Â
