  1. E JEAN CARROLL to ANDERSON COOPER…. 'RAPE IS SEXY'….. COOPER IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO BAIL ON INTERVIEW. E JEAN CARROLL HITS ON COOPER AS HE CUTS THE INTERVIEW….

  2. Trying to play the victim.
    By living in New York City, He has developed a crust that his personality is manifested in chutzpah.

  3. Hello and please forgive my lengthy post. I'm simply at the end of my rope here and as a regretful 45 voter and long-standing Republican, I must renounce my affiliation with the republican party and throw my tiny voice toward democracy, decency, and love. I am now an Independent. Thank you for reading and for commenting. I'm ashamed of my decision at the ballot box in 2016 but trying to make up for it here.

    It's time for a beatdown of the magnitude not yet seen in election history. That's the only way to see him gone. VOTE! Educate yourself. Save our democracy. Then, Maybe, we can begin to solve the divisive problems we face as neighbors, Americans dedicated to democracy, and humans on a rock hurling through space.

    This election there must be so many more votes for democracy than 45 that it is impossible to question the outcome if one has at least a high school education and general knowledge of what has been going on in politics since he was beaten by Joe the first time.

    He admits that he loves "Uneducated people". I, too, love folks who need education, and have manifested that love by becoming a teacher, preacher, and servant/student of life for 65+ years. That explained I'm guessing that my love for those less fortunate and in need of a better education, is not for the same reasons as 45. He loves the undereducated because they are easier to manipulate and damage with misinformation. His "love" for anyone or anything is not actually loving as most of us would see it, but a way to a feeling of warped self-worth that gets more and more elevated and distorted as more and more people, who arenot capable of understanding his threat to democracy or the immigrant experience, fall for his lies.

    He probably never complained or lied about the people escaping poverty and a horrible life by coming to America when they were his employees. His obsession with and lies about border security, while certainly a critical part of our problems and in dire need of humane answers, is just him using a hot-button issue politically to achieve and keep more power.

    He couldn't care less about this, me or you. He cares only about the fact that he is about to lose everything he has and spend the rest of his life imprisoned. That's it. Full stop. Vote. Vote. Vote.

    Be safe and know that this too shall pass my brothers and sisters. Love will prevail. The power of unconditional love will heal this if we refuse violence and embrace each other and our differences as the one thing that keeps America strong, its diversity. Even 45 wouldn't have accumulated such wealth were it not for immigrants. This fact escapes him and most of his followers. The educated, and I mean highly educated people and elected officials who support 45…. but would never let their own daughters be anywhere near him… are, however, now the truly baffling folks in this nightmare. Our only defense is our vote.

    To be clear…I love God as I understand God. I was raised in a conservative Christian church and, as an adult, went on to be ordained by a Baptist church…a Southern Baptist Convention church. One of the most satisfying life results of that ordination, other than the pure joy I found in sheltering and feeding the homeless and helping to lead others into some real relationship with the creator, was that I had the honor of officiating the marriage of my own father to his second wife, sometime after losing my mom, and his love, to the big C when she was only 52. It was really one of the best days of my life, seeing my father embrace some happiness after the immense pain he endured losing his wife.

    And, another result as an adult was, I later went on to found and run a homeless shelter, for its first 5 years, almost 30 years ago (until a car crash), that helped those who needed it most, and still does today, (only under different leadership), called StreetReach Ministries. That said, my conservatism and faith never became terrorism, hate, or divisiveness, because it was tempered by the compassion, unconditional love, and open-mindedness given to me by both my parents, who too believed in God, but not in violence promoting Christian activism, nor the rejoining of church and state.

    So, with all that as context, I close with an admonition to remember. Remember the power of love. Remember that just because someone looks different than us, goes to a different place of worship than we do, and maybe even comes from another country, even if entering at the risk of being arrested, is not automatically a drug-addled criminal intent on destroying our way of life. That's just not true. Sure, there are bad actors and very awful people doing sneaky and unlawful things that we despise.

    The majority of people looking to America to remain the beacon of democracy and inclusion, however, are simply looking to bust their asses doing jobs most Americans won't do, long enough to send money home to their families while eventually seeking asylum here. The bad guys are there, but they are not now, as they were not back at the beginning of this experiment, necessarily the bulk of those coming in or even a huge percentage of those looking for a better life. That is just a fact.

    America was built on the backs of immigrants. We must not forget this and forever be thankful for that fact. It is from this place of understanding, compassion, love, and unity that the difficult problems of today will be resolved. If we continue to let 45 dictate that the opposite is true and that only hate will win the day, then it is our own fault for not admitting our mistakes, taking appropriate action to see him held accountable for his many crimes, and so overwhelmingly voting him away from any political office, so that justice can be served.

    The choice is ours. Voting for Democracy or voting for fulfilling the degenerate desires of a power-hungry crook. I believe we will come together and take such a huge stand that no one in their right mind can argue it isn't so. I believe in love.

    God bless. Be well and take care of yourself.

    Sincerely,

    R

  4. She is the nastiest sow to ever root a pigpen!!! She needs to be removed from the pen!!! Liar Liar Liar!!!

  5. It’s not defamation to say that you are innocent.

  6. Donald is a rapist..lock him up…👮🏽👮🏽🔓🔓🔓

  7. This demented scarecrow was not Trumps type EVER! Trump never had to assault a woman. They assaulted him for attention. I remember well.😂

  8. Joesph Biden and E Jean Carroll would make the perfect husband and wife combination, both of them are sick 🤒

  9. Lol crying about Trump, while covering up for Hungry Bill xD

  10. What does corrol get from Soros to go after Trump

  11. More lies from abc
    Abc is the one who came up with the lie about Trump and Australia

  12. she looks insane…mean, and nasty

  13. This is a lie women ..trump would never have sex .trump has a certain type women he have sex . So look at all his is past girlfriends

  14. Hello, can anyone say STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS..? People are being taken for a ride with this Clown Show..

  15. Facts clearly don't matter to Trump supporters at this point.

  16. E Jean Carroll is a fraud and is being paid for by someone or being supported by someone when it comes to money

  17. Another grifter going for the head lines. This broadcaste is a joke. Since when is a person's facial expressions news worthy. This is just another ABC hit peice. Trump 2024

  18. The case is a joke like the liberals😂FJB and the democrats

  19. Does the Staute Of Limitation no longer apply in America?

  20. “Liable for” and “guilty of” of raping a walking skeleton have 2 completely different levels of evidence. Isn’t this the chick who told Anderson Cooper that she found rape to “exciting”?

  21. Total farce – this is totally a political stunt. She's lying. And the media is complicit.

  22. This woman (E J Carroll) is certifiable. Clearly she is lying. The interview with Anderson Cooper says it all.

  23. @Joe-pz4pj

    0 seconds ago

    If E G carol said the phrase "Give it to me" should that be considered consent or should it be considered prostitution? Could I be sued if I held an apple she wanted and she said give it to me and I gave it to her. Would it be malicious rape If I gave it to her not realizing she was referring to the apple?

  24. Her body language says shes a liar

  25. She is here to get money out of trump, And when Trump called her a liar she tried to accuse him with the defamation that is crazy and stupid. She's the one who is defaming Trump.

  26. It's amazing what sort of calisthenics the right has to do to keep excusing the inexcusable behavior of this depraved, self-absorbed psychopath. It's especially astounding to watch evangelicals tie themselves into knots as Trump steadily chips away at their morality bit by bit by bit. I guess evangelicals are now okay with rape. Why not? They're now okay with cheating on your pregnant wife so you can pork a porn star. They're okay with violating campaign finance laws. They're okay with running a fraudulent university. They're okay with ripping off donors in a fraudulent charity that was supposed to help children with cancer. They're okay with embezzling funds from that charity to buy vanity gifts such as a 6-foot, $10,000 portrait of himself, as well as Tim Tebow"s helmet. They're okay with violent insurrection against law enforcement officers, leading to murder. They're okay with theft of top secret government documents. They're okay with pathological lying. The list of sins committed by Trump that have now become acceptable to evangelicals could go on pretty much forever. What's particularly interesting though, is that these sins are only acceptable to them if it's their guy doing it. If it were any Democrat who was guilty of even half of Trump's crimes and sins, they would be crawling all over each other to hang that person by their nuts.

  27. Sounds like the judge already has their mind made up. Hope the jury is a little less biased.

  28. This reminds me of the Kavanaugh nomination.

  29. Wow, some woman will do anything for a paycheck

  30. Put this clown 🤡 in prison already 💯

  31. Anyone with half a brain would realize that this former pornstar is a total liar about President Trump. If he truly sexually assaulted her why wait many many deca decades to come forward?
    I'll tell you. She was paid by the Biden administration to cause #Trump2024 problems.

    I mean common multiple decades no evidence of any kind nothing other than a well fabricated lie for people to listen to for people to hear.
    No credibility whatsoever!! #hoax

  32. Another DISGUSTING major scandal

  33. (Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy and he who has ears to hear let him hear and blessed is he who understands.)

    “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 8 to 11.

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 8 to 10.

    “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.

    “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 3 to 6.

    “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.”

    Acts, chapter 8, verse 22.

    “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 3.

    “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 4, verse 17.

    “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.”

    Hosea, chapter 6, verse 2.

    “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

    “knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

    “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

    First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.

    “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

    First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

    “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 52.

    “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.

  34. Carroll enjoying the attention too much

  35. It's sad that this woman has to over and over relive those horrible traumatic disgusting situation that Trump forced on. And then as a world figure humiliates this woman is unaccepted and a hefty price should be put on the table Trump public bully has humiliated this woman further for no reason but his own self-centered disgusting agenda and personality. It's time for this man to learn the biggest lesson in life it's not to talk down on other people know your place in and even more so if you are a will figure.

  44. I LOVE how the cash register keeps ringing for her because the spoiled man/child can't keep his mouth shut.

    He is the gift that keeps giving!

  45. WOW why did she wait so long like 2 decades, her claim is much like an episode from Law and Order, this trial seems wrong since once again the judge is clearly a far left activist, trial waiting a day seems easy especially since this woman waited to press charges since 1990, so suspicous makes me think it's about her book getting attention which it hasn't or she is seeking money, just plain sad!!
