Donald Trump has said E. Jean Carroll, who has accused him of rape, isn't his 'type.' He also confused her with his ex-wife. (via MaddowBlog)
soon after, it was not good news for the Republican: The former president not only lashed out at his accuser as a “nut job” and someone who’s “mentally sick,” he also falsely suggested that Carroll was on record enjoying sexual assault.comments Carroll made on CNN four years ago. “In fact, I think she said it was sexy, didn’t she? She said it was very sexy to be raped.”
Describing the image showing him and his accuser, Trump said, “That’s Marla, yeah. That’s my wife,” referring to the second of his three spouses. At that point, the Republican’s lawyer intervened, correcting her client’s mistake.At face value, this might seem like an embarrassing blunder in which the former president confused one of his former wives with a woman who accused him of attacking her.
