INTIMIDATION: "We feel the backlash of the Trump supporters ... We are in fear of our lives."

Trump’s Child Rape Victim Just Canceled Press Conference Over Death Threats

by Colin Taylor
November 2, 2016

The woman accusing Trump of raping her when she was just thirteen years old at one of convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein’s notorious underage sex parties was all set to come forward tonight to tell her story – but backed out at the last moment, saying that she had “received threats” and feared for her life.

The pressures that face the female accusers of powerful white men couldn’t be more clear right now. One of Trump’s sexual assault accusers has already fled the country due to threats from his rabid supporters.“We feel the backlash of the Trump supporters. It scares us. It intimidates us. We are in fear of our lives,” said Mindy McGillivray, who said Trump groped her at a party. “I look out the window and there are cars just driving around the house and looking, slowing down right at the house. I don’t live in a gated community. This is dangerous. There could be people out there who want to hurt us.’’

The pressure to stay silent comes just as strong from the Trump camp itself – just look at how Michael Cohen, special counsel for the Trump Organization, responded to Daily Beast when they called asking for comment on a story about how Trump raped then-wife Ivana Trump in a painful and brutal fashion:

I will make sure that you and I meet one day while we’re in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don’t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know. So I’m warning you, tread very fucking lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting. You understand me?”

“You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up… for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet… you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it.’

The other day I read what he and they did to a conservative reporter for the National Review. Supposedly one of THEIR OWN, yet the man made the mistake of saying something negative about Trump.

He and his family are in hiding and fear for their lives now, way to go Trump supporters THIS is the world you want.

That is why Trump talking about rigged elections is so incredibly irresponsible. He knows that many of his followers are unhinged and some will probably engage in violence if he loses.

These people are out there and they aren't going away when this election is over.

I think I am going to take a vacation day the day after the election. No matter what happens, I have a feeling it's going to be a shitshow. If Trump wins, it will only embolden the deplorables. If Hillary wins they will revolt. I wish these people didn't exist, but they do and in greater numbers than we thought.

They are delusional and riled up ... and they are on such a high right now.

They are going to crash BIGLY when Hillary wins next Tuesday. And some may lash out.

Holocaust Survivor Says Donald Trump Reminds Him Of Hitler And That’s Terrifying

“You can find some authoritarian, semi-fascist tinges in Southern politics during the segregationist era. But there’s never been anything like this, and nothing on this scale. I am a Holocaust survivor and this made me quiver. What scares me is he’s broken all these taboos and it’s helped him. That frightens me. It frightens me that there are all these things that we’ve worked so hard on, but one after another he breaks these taboos and the people applaud him and come back for more.”

Cons for all their rough and tough talk - are incredibly thin skinned animals. My hides were for reminding them that most welfare recipients are poor whites in the South (since you know how they cannot go 5 seconds without talking about welfare)...no sir they did not like that AT ALL!

Also bringing up Stormfront, their sacred home, can get you an instant hide. They are cowardly little punks, just like their idol Trump.
