[Content Note: Sexual assault; rape culture. Video may autoplay at link.]
Another woman, Jessica Drake, has reported that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her. Drake said that, about a decade ago, Trump grabbed and kissed her without her consent and offered her money to accompany him to his hotel room and have sex with him.
Drake is a performer in adult films. Which does not, has not, and will never mean that a woman yields her right of consent.
But naturally, that is not what Trump thinks, who said of Drake today: "Oh, I'm sure she's never been grabbed before."
Straight out of the rape apologia playbook. Again.
I don't even know what I can say at this point that I now haven't already said a dozen times. I repudiate Trump and everything for which he stands; and I take up space in solidarity with the women who are coming forward with their stories.
