Someone Needs to Tell E. Jean Carroll to Give it a Rest
Matt Vespa
E. Jean Carroll, the woman who sued Donald Trump for defamation and left CNN’s Anderson Cooper aghast with her ‘rape is sexy’ remarks, is mulling slapping the former president with another lawsuit over his town hall event with CNN. During that media spectacle, Trump called Carroll a “whack job” and denied in the strongest terms that he had never met the woman. This week, a New York City jury ruled in her favor, where Trump must pay $5 million in damages. The jury did not agree with Carroll on the first question, which is whether Trump raped her in the 1990s (via NBC News):
Former President Donald Trump mocked E. Jean Carroll as a "whack job" and insisted her account of being sexually assaulted by him decades ago was "fake" and "made up" one day after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer.
During a CNN town hall at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Trump was pressed on the verdict, one in which a nine-person New York jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. Host Kaitlan Collins first asked Trump what he would say to voters who felt being found liable for sexually abusing a woman was disqualifying for a presidential candidates.
"Well, there aren’t too many of them," the GOP presidential front-runner fired back. "Because my poll numbers just came out [and] they went up."
"My poll numbers went up, and they went up with the other fake charge too," Trump added, nodding to charges he faces in New York for allegedly falsifying business records related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and another woman toward the end of his 2016 presidential campaign.’
