Trump accuser says she is leaving country

PALM BEACH
Mindy McGillivray of Palm Springs said she is planning to leave the United States because she fears for her family’s safety since she publicly accused Donald Trump earlier this week of groping her in 2003.

“We feel the backlash of the Trump supporters. It scares us. It intimidates us. We are in fear of our lives,’’ she said in an interview Friday with The Palm Beach Post.

McGillivray, 36, has been staying in a hotel in the three days since she told her story to The Palm Beach Post, one of at least four women across the United States who have accused Trump of inappropriately touching them. Trump has denied the accusations, calling them total fabrications.

But she said got a scare Thursday night when she returned to the Palm Springs house she shares with her daughter and stepdad to pick up clothes.

“I look out the window and there are cars just driving around the house and looking, slowing down right at the house,’’ she said.

“I don’t live in a gated community. This is dangerous. There could be people out there who want to hurt us.’’

And I would even suggest looking into filing charges against Trump for riling up his followers to the point where she is being terrorized.

... when the Jameis Winston rape allegations first became public.

I wasn't sure what to believe, and I still don't, but the posts made me ill. I witnessed her identity being revealed too, with several people openly proclaiming vengeance on her.

This isn't some anti-FSU post from me because I'm sure that kind of sick behavior happens all over the place.

get crushed badly in a few weeks. I don't typically harbor animosity towards people, but Trump and his supporters are an exception. There's no excusing this type of behavior. I'll be happy with a Clinton win, but real justice would come in the form of a landslide. Trump deserves to suffer a landslide for his dangerous rabble-rousing and victim-blaming.
