Historic allegation against Trump was revived and allegations upgraded in report released by Judiciary Committee Democrats days before the midterm elections. The White House has strongly denied the claims

Donald Trump is accused of raping a former Miss Switzerland in a report probing the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein released by House of Representatives Democrats this week.

Beatrice Keul, a retired model and beauty pageant contestant, told the House Judiciary Committee about an incident alleged to have taken place at New York’s Plaza Hotel in 1993. The report, released a week ahead of the midterm elections, also summarizes previously reported allegations from four other women against Trump.

The White House has strongly denied all of the reports’ claims, accusing “crazed” Democrats of “a desperate attempt to distract Americans” and insisting that the president has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”

Keul previously claimed in October 2024 that Trump had sexually assaulted her at a beauty pageant staged at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump then owned.

“The president may have raped someone, but we need to double down on the made up rape threat that transgender people pose to women!”

-Republicans, demonstrably.

    Maybe you are just lucky but most likely its my own fault for enganging to much with these people. They are rarely explicit about it in the first comment.

      Well personally I find it disgusting to suggest that we shouldn’t hold “our team” accountable simply because the other team is worse.

        I’ve literally never seen anyone on the threadiverse suggest that we shouldn’t hold them accountable, or that they are “our team” for that matter.

        As i said before. My suggestions is to make it clear that a vote =\= support by large anti fascist protestation the second they get elected.

          If that’s not what the original comment I replied to was suggesting, then I’m not sure what it was. This whataboutism comes up constantly.

            Yeah, so you have literally seen zero comments about not voting for Democrats, but everyone is constantly trying to cover for Democrats…

            Why do you so freely admit to lying like this, honestly? You could do your canvassing without being so insanely obvious about it.

            Its the pre election timing.

            Bertlewirth does not appear as a troll/propaganda to me. But i can understand that fonix may have confused them with being such because in many peoples experience there is a huge movement of democrat bashing right before an election that stops just after it. Pretty much the opposite of what it should be.

            The whatabout facism-lite when we should idealy do everything to stop the facism-hard is one of the reasons many progressives are jumpy right now.
