A Running List Of The Women Whove Accused Donald Trump Of Sexual Misconduct
On Oct. 8, 2016, The Washington Post published footage from 2005 of serial misogynist Donald Trump bragging that as a famous man, he can get away with anything. Like kissing women without waiting for permission. And grabbing women by the pussy. Trump has defended these comments, repeatedly, as locker room talk. When pressed by Anderson Cooper during the second presidential debate, he said that he absolutely had not sexually assaulted women.
But since Trumps remarks emerged ― and well before then ― women have shared their allegations of sexual abuse against the Republican presidential nominee.
Trump and his administration have repeatedly denied all of the accusations, most recently tweeting that women he didnt know were making false accusations. In October 2017, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested that all of Trumps accusers were lying.
Below is a working list of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. These allegations span more than three decades, from the early 1980s to 2013, and are presented here based on the date they became public.

All named. Why are you posting over and over about Franken and not tRump.

Yes, we should not believe them at all. The entertainer story is really suspect.

He wanted an ethics investigation and was railroaded before he got it. That was wrong.

So you think these six events did not occur or do you think that even if they did, it is okay?

It was a hit job cooked up by the right wing media and egged on by a few Democrats

Hey Casprings- I don't agree with you; don't agree with you at all. Nor do I support you.

I'm touched by your effort to do actions to independently make Al Franken look worser.

It would be best for everybody involved to move on than to continuously litigate it.
