New York Magazine’s cover story, published this Friday, reveals the dark details of an assault perpetrated by Donald Trump against E. Jean Carroll, a writer and TV show host, twenty-three years ago. She writes of the devastating rape in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman in New York, where Trump coaxed her into picking out lingerie for a woman he was seeing, convinced her to go into the dressing room, and then pushed her against the wall, where he brutally violated her.
There’s no justice when your rapist is the President of the United States. Of course, there's very little accountability when your rapist is just about anyone, as we've seen time and time again. But just as we’ve seen in the instances of the fifteen other women who came before Carroll, we will likely see a large-scale response of denial, insults, and zero accountability from Trump and from his supporters.
Sadly, about the same as it did for the women sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton.
