Historic allegation against Trump was revived and allegations upgraded in report released by Judiciary Committee Democrats days before the midterm elections. The White House has strongly denied the claims

Donald Trump is accused of raping a former Miss Switzerland in a report probing the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein released by House of Representatives Democrats this week.

Beatrice Keul, a retired model and beauty pageant contestant, told the House Judiciary Committee about an incident alleged to have taken place at New York’s Plaza Hotel in 1993. The report, released a week ahead of the midterm elections, also summarizes previously reported allegations from four other women against Trump.

The White House has strongly denied all of the reports’ claims, accusing “crazed” Democrats of “a desperate attempt to distract Americans” and insisting that the president has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”

Keul previously claimed in October 2024 that Trump had sexually assaulted her at a beauty pageant staged at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump then owned.

“The president may have raped someone, but we need to double down on the made up rape threat that transgender people pose to women!”

-Republicans, demonstrably.

    “Grab them by the pussy. . .”

    He admitted to being a sex offender before being elected. It didn’t matter to republicans then, and it won’t now. They’re twisted and depraved if they can continue to support him, with the constant drip drip of allegations. And what we hear about is going to be just the tip of an iceberg of abuse.

      It did not help that so many wingers and of course their accomplices in the Murc’s Law Media acted like the problem in that admission of sexual assault was using the word “pussy”.

      Of course, since they were already so used to reaching for the “civility” narrative, because donnie said “pussy” instead of some other term, it was so very easy to talk about it as if “ermhagawd, he said the P-WORD!” was what people were actually taking issue with vs. the crimes he was actually admitting to.

      It was absolutely infuriating.

      I have to assume this is because they also think this is normal, which makes me highly suspicious they’re sex offenders (or want to be) themselves. Why else would they think this is okay? So now, if someone tells me they’re a republican, I recoil because I have to assume that means they’re fine with rape.

        Yeah, unfortunately I think that’s a fair assumption. I wouldn’t want a trump supporter around my kids - if I had any. I don’t think they forgive or overlook his sex crimes, I think they endorse them, maybe envy them.
