The Anti-Trump Story Getting Shopped Around, Is A 30-Year-Old Groping Incident? It's Laughably False

Posted • October 23, 2024: We’re not even going to go into much depth into the latest smear campaign against Donald Trump. The internals must be appalling for liberals to pull a ‘Trump is Hitler’ and a Kavanaugh 2.0 double-feature. The former deals with some supposed remarks made about the infamous dictator but not before The Atlantic, a familiar factory for fake anti-Trump stories, led off with some apocryphal story about how Trump denigrated a US Army soldier who was murdered in 2020. The servicemember's family, including the family attorney, slapped down the piece as a hoax. -- Does Mark Halperin have a story that could end Donald Trump’s campaign? Halperin reported that Joe Biden would drop out of the race 3 days before the announcement. The man has sources. -- Tom Bevan @TomBevanRCP: “I've been pitched the same story. Does not seem remotely credible, but don't be surprised if you see something in the New York Times next week.”

Now, with that story not gaining traction for numerous reasons, not least being that the media has peddled far too many fake stories about the former president, no one cares, and it’s too late to change the course of the race; liberals are trying the sexual assault route. The rumor is that Trump was involved in a groping incident that happened 30 years ago. And of course, the allegation is 30 some years old and there's zero corroborating evidence. They are trying to 'Kavanaugh' Trump on the eve of the election because they have nothing else to offer the voters. -- The new Trump allegation was made in a paid Harris campaign zoom call. Completely planted. -- Trump groped the minor daughter of a huge donor and there's video proof so naturally the donor waited until 13 days before a presidential election to leak the story to Brian Krassenstein and some other no name Democrat strategist. “Donald Trump groped me 35 years ago and I didn’t remember until after the 2016 and 2020 elections.”

It was also openly coordinated with the Harris campaign. She spoke at a Harris event on Monday, piece comes out today. That’s right. Trump committed some heinous sex act that no one knew about until 12 days before Election Day. This little diary entry supposedly missed the hordes of anti-Trump activists and attorneys who have now made Trump the most investigated man in modern American history.

As Joe Concha succinctly put it, “This allegedly happened 31 years ago. It’s impossible to prove or disprove. We’re 12 days to Election Day. Trump’s run for president twice before yet this never came out. This was pitched to multiple reporters — even some very friendly to Kamala — and only a British tabloid took the bait. This is laughable. The panic is real.” Mark Halperin shared on Morning Meeting that he was pitched that he has been pitched a story that he said if true “would end Donald Trump’s campaign.” Halperin says he doesn’t believe the story and won’t be pursuing it. This, along with the debunked Goldberg story in The Atlantic, shows the desperation of the Harris campaign and Democrats in general. It isn’t working. -- Mark Halperin clarifies himself after he went viral for stating he had been pitched a story that would “end Trump’s campaign.” Halperin says the comment was made to warn people of “actors” who are trying to influence the election.

Halperin added that he isn’t pursuing the story because he doesn’t think it’s true. “The point I was making is actors who want a certain outcome are on social media and in pitches to reporters, and in the case of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg… are trying to affect the end of the race because they're so desperate to try to pull a Comey.” - “I'm not pursuing the story. I don't think it's true… All I'm saying is there are people out there pitching stuff.” (…)
