Trump’s 2024 Bid More Complicated After Sexual Assault Verdict.
“In a lawsuit filed last year, Carroll accused the former president of raping her in 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room, though the jury did not find Trump liable of rape in the trial.
Some Republicans pointed to the verdict as reason to move on from the former president.
Republican strategist Doug Heye tweeted that Trump’s statement “should be more ammunition for Republicans to dump Trump once and for all.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as Trump’s White House communications director and is now a frequent critic of the former president, tweeted that the GOP “must walk away from this man. It is beyond morally indefensible.””
Donald Trump was found liable for a sexual assault that occurred in a Manhattan dressing room back in the 1990s. Will this matter? Does it matter to the electorate at large? At what state is American Democracy when one of the major Presidential candidates (and former President) is found liable for a sexual assault. That is the question that will be explored in detail as the 2024 campaigns kick off in earnest. Tonight’s CNN Town Hall will be interesting, to say the least.
