Women were the first Trump whistleblowers
Three years ago, before it heard from diplomats, ambassadors and lieutenant colonels — the country heard from a yoga teacher, an actress, a restaurant owner, a makeup artist — and me.
When it comes to Donald Trump, we were the first whistleblowers.
On the eve of the 2016 election, I was among more than a dozen women who came forward about being forcibly grabbed, groped and kissed by Trump. We wanted to warn the country it was in danger of voting for a serial predator.
Trump, of course, called us liars. He attacked our looks. At one pumped-up rally, he said of me: “Look at her. Look at her words. Tell me what you think. I don’t think so!”
We got hate mail, death threats.
And what did he get? The keys to the office once held by Washington, Lincoln and the Roosevelts.
