Squirming Over His Support For Roy Moore, Trump Now Suggests That His 'Access Hollywood' Tape Is A Fake

Our tiny hands, big-prick mind president is running away from his own confirmation of being a sexual predator on the 'Access Hollywood' tape. After apologizing for his comments a year ago, Trump now challenges the authenticity of the tape.

Trump is squirming in his Oval Office hot seat, not only because of the Mueller investigation, but over the growing #MeToo campaign and, in particular, the Roy Moore-Doug Jones Alabama senate race. 

According to The New York Times, Trump views the recent sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama Republican senate candidate Roy Moore as being akin to his own accusations. 

The Times reports: "He sees the calls for Mr. Moore to step aside as a version of the response to the now-famous Access Hollywood tape, in which he boasted about grabbing women’s genitalia, and the flood of groping accusations against him that followed soon after. He suggested to a senator earlier this year that it was not authentic, and repeated that claim to an adviser more recently. "(Note that in the hours after the tape was released in October 2016, Trump acknowledged that the voice was his, and he apologized.)

Republican candidate Moore is accused by eight women of pursuing romantic relationships with them when they were teenagers. At the time he was an assistant district attorney in his 30s. Two of the women have accused Moore of assault or molestation, which he vehemently denies. 

Besides Trump's endorsement of Roy Moore for the Senate, Trump feels the need to back the popular argument among Alabama men, asking why the women didn't come forward sooner. Numerous stories confirm that Trump doesn't believe the women accusing Moore, just as he accuses all the women alleging sexual misconduct by him as being liars.

Rep. Frederica S. Wilson Links Sgt. Johnson's Death In Niger To Her Support For Chibok Girls As Trump Amps Up Attacks On Her

Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson has been very busy this week, defending her own integrity under the full-frontal assault against her by the Trump administration. At least the liberal media must assume that she had no time to explain her focus on events in Niger -- because the story only emerged now on AM Joy with Joy Reid articulating Rep. Wilson's hunch about what happened in Niger.

In a nutshell, we knew that Rep. Wilson has a long history with U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson and his family, both as a school superintendent and family friend, and in her foundation 5000 Young Men of Excellence, which educated Sgt Johnson and mentored him for years.

Less well known is Rep. Wilson's involvement with the Chibok Girls, kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria. Her page doesn't mention the release of significant numbers of the girls -- which it should, frankly -- but it's estimated by the BBC that about 100 of the original Chibok Girls remain missing.

Rep. Wilson is demanding answers -- and praising Sen. John McCain, who is calling for a full inquiry. Wilson believes that it's no coincidence that there was an attack on these US servicemen in Niger, with Johnson being split off from the group and her own work on behalf of the Chibok Girls.

For the record, Niger and Nigeria are two different nations, separated by the Niger River. Still, in a world running rampant with conspiracy theories, Rep. Wilson's warrants serious consideration.

A quick Google search confirms that Boko Haram is definitely operating in Niger and has launched numerous deadly attacks against the local population.

The LA Times writes Sunday that the militant group responsible for the attack that took the lives of four Americans and five Nigerien troops is believed to be an offshoot of Al-Qaeda and not Boko Haram, previously associated with ISIS.

Boko Haram was taken over by the super deadly Al-Shabab in 2017, some say. However Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari this week expressed grave concern for ISIS and Boko Haram as a unit.

Whether or not Rep. Wilson's work on behalf of the Chibok girls and the assault in Niger are related is a big leap, as opposed to an understandable coincidence, given the growing and underestimated by the US violence in the region.

But what requires no clarification is the long and very close relationship between Rep. Wilson and the Johnson family. When I woke up Friday morning, I saw the term "digital lynching" in reference to Wilson. I frankly sighed a sad exhale at the moment, because lynching is not a word to throw around. At no time did I not side with Rep. Wilson in my mind, but the words "digital lynching" hit me as a dramatic escalation.

However, as I read the facts and saw Rep. Wilson's actual 2015 speech about the FBI office opening in Miami, I was filled with repulsion over the Trump administrations attempts to smear her. It's astonishing, frankly, and Trump should understand that his intense efforts to change the narrative around the deaths of all nine men in Niger, to an assault on Rep Wilson, who has her own history in the region in despicable. And it fuels her own conviction that there is a connection between the death of Sgt. Johnson and her own work on behalf of the Chibok girls.
