Chilling New Ads Spotlight Heart-Wrenching Stories of Trump’s Assault Accusers

These ads are so powerful.

George Conway, the ex-husband of former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway is stepping up his efforts to ensure former president Donald Trump doesn’t win another four years in office. He’s doing this by bringing attention to the sexual assault claims against the ex-president, courtesy of his political action committee which, on Wednesday, September 25, launched a pair of ads featuring two of Trump’s sexual assault accusers, according to People.

In the first ad, we hear former People reporter Natasha Stoynoff, who alleges Trump assaulted her during a December 2005 trip to Mar-a-Lago, where she was to interview him and his wife, Melania Trump for the magazine. Trump has previously insisted her claims had “no merit or veracity.”

“At one point, Melania went upstairs to change her clothes for the next photo shoot, and Trump said to me, ‘I want to show you this beautiful painting, this beautiful room.’ He leads me to this room, pushes me against the wall, and starts kissing me forcefully,” she tells us. “I tried to push him. He kept coming back at me.”

“I was in shock and smothered, and he had his hands here against my shoulders. I felt sick inside. I felt horrified, and thank goodness the butler charges into the room. Like many women, I blamed myself. So Trump turned to me and said, ‘You know we’re going have an affair, don’t you?’ and Melania was approaching. I was horrified,” she added.

In the second ad, featuring businesswoman Jessica Leeds, she alleges in a 2016 report by The New York Times that Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt while she sat next to him on a first-class flight in 1979. She was 38 at the time.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, she noted she encountered the ex-president at a charity two years after the alleged assault on the plane, and he insulted her with a “crude remark.”

Unsurprisingly, Trump denied the claims in the Times story, but Leeds has vivid memories of the alleged encounter, which she recalls in the new ad.

“The airplane took off, and all of a sudden Donald Trump started groping me. He was trying to kiss me and I’m trying to push him away, he was basically overpowering me.”

“When he started putting his hand up my skirt I got out of the seat, grabbed my purse, and went back to my original seat and I certainly was shook up by the whole thing,” she says.

Trump can deny this all he likes but no woman ever forgets a sexual assault. Every unpleasant physical encounter we have with men stays with us until we either get dementia or our expiration date comes due. These encounters leave an indelible mark. Scars can be emotional as well as physical.

So prepare yourself for a Trump meltdown when the ads drop on some of Trump’s favorite channels — Fox News, ESPN, and The Golf Channel (I’m sure he’ll hit the roof when that happens) in West Palm Beach, Florida and Bedminster, New Jersey, where he has residences.

The ads are also scheduled to appear nationally on CNN, MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Hallmark, Lifetime, and on streaming platforms in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. And I’m sure Trump’s mierda will really hit the fan when they appear on NewsNation in the middle of the vice presidential debate on Tuesday, October 1.

I’m sure when all of this goes down, he’ll claim to be the victim because, in his warped view, it’s always the world against him. He’s a terrible misogynist but he’ll never own up to that. He certainly didn’t own up to anything during his 2023 civil trial, where a jury found him liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll, a former columnist for Elle. At least 26 women have come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct over the years, and he has, of course, vehemently denied any wrongdoing. He’s never faced criminal charges as a result of the allegations. Unfortunately, many of the allegations were revealed after the statute of limitations had expired.

Carroll pointed out one sad fact that women have to deal with daily.

“Unfortunately, in this culture, the man who we triumphed over in court still has a very high status. As a matter of fact, his status was raised. And I still lost my job,” she said. Elle terminated her contract when she came forward with her allegations.

Stoynoff and Leeds served as witnesses in Carroll’s sexual assault trial.

We need to hope these ads are effective so we don’t elect a rapist-in-chief. Again.

I’ve included clips of both ads below. Be prepared to be repulsed.
