Trump Accuser E. Jean Carroll Is Another Fake News Disaster

E. Jean Carroll alleges Donald Trump attacked her at a New York luxury department store in the late 1990s.

Trump has denied the allegations, saying, “I have no idea who this woman is.”

In this interview, though, Carroll backs off her rape allegation.

“I don’t use the word [rape]. I have difficulty with the word. I see it as a fight.”

Camerota then spends an endless amount of time assuring Carroll she was raped and ends her tirade with, “You were legally raped. That’s what it was.”

Carroll just stares at Camerota as if to say, Okay, if you say so.

From there, the interview goes downhill at lightspeed when Carroll makes the laughable claim she’s not using Trump to sell her book and goes on to change her answer about why she won’t press charges: No longer is her refusal to press charges about “disrespecting” migrant rape victims, it is now about the statute of limitations — even though New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio assured Carroll the police will still investigate.

At this point, Camerota, who is pretty much interviewing herself, struggles with a Carroll who can only respond with more dazed confusion.

CAMEROTA: Now, today, what do you want to say to Donald Trump?.

CARROLL (stumbling): That terrifies me that you said that. That is — that is —

CAMEROTA: At the thought of confronting him?

CARROLL: No, I — you know, you just stunned me by saying that. It terrifies me, although I think I could — I think — yes.

CAMEROTA: You think that you could confront him now? I mean, what part scares you?

CARROLL: Well, will you go with me, Alisyn? Seriously. You know, listen, that is a — that is a terrible situation. Even a question just terrifies me. Look at me, I can hardly talk now that you said that.

CAMEROTA: What part? What part terrifies you?

CARROLL: Well, it puts — it reveals to me what I’m in the middle of doing, is what it does. That’s — you made it very clear what I’m in the midst of doing and —

CAMEROTA: And you thought when you included those 11 pages in the book that it wouldn’t get this amount of attention? Why?

CARROLL: He was only one of 21 hideous men, you know.

CAMEROTA: But it is the President of the United States. You didn’t know the onslaught that you would be in the middle of right now? I mean, you are talking about the President of the United States and you are accusing him of sexual assault.
