Trump Accused by 2016 Campaign Staffer of Kissing Her Against Her Will

Mike Vance

Obviously President Trump isn't afraid of affection. He holds the handshake as long as possible. For example, the exchange with French President Emmanuel Macron.

2016 campaign staffer Alva Johnson took things a step further. She said that then-candidate Donald Trump kissed her against her will.

Was Trump really walking up to women on his staff and planting a kiss on their mouths? Or was she the only one? The White House has came out strongly against Johnson's claims of how the situation went down.

Per The Washington Post:

In interviews with The Washington Post, and in the lawsuit, Alva Johnson said Trump grabbed her hand and leaned in to kiss her on the lips as he exited an RV outside the rally in Tampa on Aug. 24, 2016. Johnson said she turned her head and the unwanted kiss landed on the side of her mouth, which she called “super-creepy and inappropriate.”

“I immediately felt violated because I wasn’t expecting it or wanting it,” she said. “I can still see his lips coming straight for my face.”

Johnson said she told her boyfriend, mother and stepfather about the incident later that day, an account all three confirmed to The Post. Two months later, Johnson consulted a Florida attorney about the unwanted kiss; he gave The Post text messages showing that he considered her “credible” but did not take her case for business reasons. The attorney gave Johnson the name of a therapist, whose notes, which The Post reviewed, reference an unspecified event during the campaign that had left her distraught.

In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders dismissed Johnson’s allegation as “absurd on its face.”

“This never happened and is directly contradicted by multiple highly credible eye witness accounts,” she wrote.

Two Trump supporters that Johnson identified as witnesses — a campaign official and Pam Bondi, then the Florida attorney general — denied seeing the alleged kiss in interviews with The Post.

The left has not yet learned you can't believe President Trump's accusers. They continue to jump to conclusions.
