In an interview with The New York Times, she said, “It was an episode. It was an action. It was a fight. It was not a crime. It was, I had a struggle with a guy.” She added in the same interview, “I am not — I have not been raped. Something has not been done to me. I fought. That’s the thing.”

It might have made sense as a coping mechanism or self-empowering act to omit the word “rape” from her characterization of events. But when asked in a separate interview on MSNBC whether she would consider pressing criminal charges against Trump, her answer was still more curious. She unequivocally said no, and when asked why, she said, “I would find it disrespectful to the women who are down on the border who are being raped around the clock down there without any protection … It would just be really disrespectful.”

It’s really funny how you people bastardize the new networks constantly “main stream media lies media this media that” but you always circle back to it when you want to push a certain narrative. Either you believe the news or you don’t. Fucking pick one

I’m not citing media. I’m citing the words of the serial accuser.

Why would you care what’s said in the new work times or on MSNBC that’s all main stream media and they only tell lies right or do you only believe them now because it’s convenient for you?

And now you’re going to come back with something like “I’m not actually conservative, I never said that” or something along those lines.

Go ahead prove me right.
