Pence says evidence supporting Trump being prepared
US Republican vice-presidential candidate Mike Pence vigorously defended running mate Donald Trump against allegations of sexual misconduct and promised that evidence casting doubt on the claims would come out on Friday.
Trump made the comments at a planned rally in West Palm Beach, Fla., his first time speaking publicly since the New York Times and other publications reported assault allegations from various women.
In an interview broadcast yesterday, the soap opera actress in the video said Trump’s comments were offensive.
But Pence turned the focus to Clinton, criticizing her for giving speeches in support of socialized medicine in Canada and one supporting open borders in Brazil. Rejecting his claims of being the victim of false stories, Hillary Clinton and ally Michelle Obama say Americans are learning more about Trump’s unacceptable behavior every day.
The Trump campaign’s hope is to showcase the decades-old accusations to young voters, particularly women, who may not have been old enough to remember the controversies that dogged the Clintons in the 1990s.
And those GOP officials who already had distanced themselves from Trump were largely silent on the new allegations Thursday.
His law firm requested that People and Stoynoff confirm within 24 hours that the demands were being met, saying “failure to do so will require Mrs Trump to consider her legal options”. In that video, Trump says of a young girl, “I’m going to be dating her in 10 years, can you believe it?”
Mr Trump, she claimed, had cornered her in private and “within seconds, he was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat”.
-Rachel Crooks says Trump kissed her without invitation in 2006 when she was a 22-year-old receptionist for a real estate firm located at Trump Tower. A recent Politico article about how elementary school teachers are dealing with Trump’s ascent recounted an anecdote wherein a disabled fifth grader told his teacher that “you couldn’t vote for Donald Trump, because he made fun of a disabled person on television”. The Indiana governor’s Twitter account showed him meeting with faith leaders and stopping at a restaurant – after a Pence spokesman said the vice-presidential nominee was attending closed-door fundraisers.
In his Greensboro remarks, Trump took aim at the news media, accusing reporters of conspiring with Democrat Hillary Clinton to defeat his candidacy. Stoynoff said that she was with the couple at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, when Melania left the room.
After all this, a wave of women started coming forward with stories about being assaulted by Trump.
Pence, the conservative IN governor, said Trump had assured him personally the allegations were false. “I don’t think so”, Trump said. She said that’s “probably why it doesn’t mean a lot to me”. She said she later contacted Trump to inquire about a job with one of his businesses.
Cagle responded to Trump and his campaign in a sharply worded statement.
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Monday he was no longer going to campaign for or defend Trump.
With his numbers dropping in opinion polls ahead of the 8 November election, the Republican US presidential nominee told supporters at a rally in Florida that his campaign was engaged in “a struggle for the survival of our nation”.
In one of his strongest interventions in the United States election campaign, President Barack Obama warned Americans that democracy itself was on the ballot when they cast their votes next month.
