‘It’s All Lies, It’s All Lies, It Was Made Up’
Donald Trump says he never sexually assaulted anyone, despite having described acts of sexual assault in a 2005 “Access Hollywood” video, but in the case of an adult film star who recently accused the Republican nominee of having grabbing her and offering her money, he suggested anything he might have done would have been okay because of her line of work.
“Oh, I’m sure she’s never been grabbed before,” Trump said Monday in a local New Hampshire radio interview.
As CNN reports, “Jessica Drake accused Trump of grabbing and kissing her without permission and offering her money to go up to his hotel room alone a decade ago.”
On WGIR radio’s “New Hampshire Today” show Trump labeled all these accusations “lies” and “fiction” and insisted the Clinton campaign is behind it.
“These are stories that are made up, these are total fiction. You’ll find out that, in the years to come, these women that stood up, it was all fiction,” Trump insisted. “They were made up. I don’t know these women, it’s not my thing to do what they say. You know I don’t do that. I don’t grab them, as they say, on the arm.”
In the 2005 tape Trump said he grabbed women by the “pussy” and he was allowed to because of his celebrity status.
“One said, ‘he grabbed me on the arm.’ And she’s a porn star,” Trump said, referring to Jessica Drake. “You know, this one that came out recently, ‘he grabbed me and he grabbed me on the arm.’ Oh, I’m sure she’s never been grabbed before,” the GOP nominee added.
“It’s all lies, it’s all lies, it was made up,” he claimed.
The Manhattan billionaire also accused the Clinton campaign of “absolutely” “100 percent” being behind the accusations of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior, which now number over 20. To support his claim he pointed to attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing two of his accusers.
“You have this phony Gloria Allred, a third-rate lawyer. Gloria Allred is a big deal with Clinton. You know, she’s into that whole thing,” Trump said, not clarifying what “that whole thing” is.
