A woman who worked on President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign claims that in a “super-creepy and inappropriate” incident, Trump tried to kiss her without her consent.

However, two witnesses cited by the woman disagreed with her account, and one said it “absolutely did not happen.”

On Monday, The Washington Post published an article detailing the claim from Alva Johnson, 43, as well as comments from women Johnson said were witnesses who contradicted her story.




In addition to talking to the Post about the alleged incident, Johnson has also filed a lawsuit.

Johnson claims Trump tried to kiss her on Aug. 24, 2016, just before a rally in Tampa, Florida.


Johnson’s claim is that Trump exited an RV, grabbed her hand, and tried to kiss her on the mouth. She said she turned to avoid the kiss.

“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.”




She told the Post how the scene unfolded.

“Oh, my God, I think he’s going to kiss me,” she said. “He’s coming straight for my lips. So I turn my head, and he kisses me right on corner of my mouth, still holding my hand the entire time. Then he walks on out.”


Johnson said the incident still haunts her.

“I’ve tried to let it go,” she said. “You want to move on with your life. I don’t sleep. I wake up at 4 in the morning looking at the news. I feel guilty. The only thing I did was show up for work one day.”

The Post reported that Johnson told her boyfriend, mother and stepfather about the incident back in 2016. It also reported that in October 2016, she consulted a lawyer, who did not take her case.




Johnson said she tried to get jobs in the Trump administration, to no avail, but insisted those rejections were not her reason for the lawsuit.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called Johnson’s claim “absurd on its face.”


“This never happened and is directly contradicted by multiple highly credible eye witness accounts,” she said in a statement, according to the Post.

Two women who Johnson said witnessed the incident — Karen Giorno, director of Trump’s Florida campaign, and Pam Bondi, who was the attorney general of Florida at the time — both said they never saw Trump kiss Johnson.




“Do I recall seeing anything inappropriate? One hundred percent no,” Bondi told the Post.

“I’m a prosecutor, and if I saw something inappropriate, I would have said something.”

Giorno called Johnson’s account “ridiculous,” and added “that absolutely did not happen.”

Activists Vow John Wayne Will Never Work In Hollywood Again

HOLLYWOOD, CA—After a 1971 Playboy interview with John Wayne that was deemed offensive surfaced online, liberal activists took to the streets to boycott the actor, vowing that Wayne will never work in Hollywood again.

Wayne died in 1979 of stomach cancer.

Marchers could be seen on Sunset Boulevard with signs calling for the firing of “that cowboy guy from those old movies.” Many seemed confused about who Wayne actually was, with some assuming he may have been a relative of Batman, and others thinking that maybe he was in a Coen brothers movie or something. However, they all agreed he is what's wrong with this country, as evidenced by their chant, "John Wayne bad!"

Activist leaders announced that at 10:30 am they would hold a massive burning of John Wayne films, posters, and other memorabilia at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine. When the time arrived, many people arrived but there was nothing to burn. “I don’t think anyone here has ever even seen a John Wayne movie, now that I think about it,” one activist told reporters. 

At the non-burning, activist and film student Jenson Alexis addressed the gathered crowd using a bullhorn. “I’m tired of people saying racism is on the decline!” he shouted to raucous applause and chanting. “This 1971 interview from a man born in 1907 and dead for nearly forty years proves that racism is alive and well in the US of KKK!” 

Correct - in proper usage. Nigger is a pejorative and commonly used rudely against blacks, but also would describe anyone whose lot in life is to fetch and tote and serve others. Racist is also a pejorative, as it is used today, but it's also a statement of fact, NOT JUST a pejorative. For instance, saying David duke is a racist, or Louis Farrakhan is a racist may be a pejorative, but is also a statement of fact and may be used that simply, without the negative connotations. For instance, my gramps hated "those damned Eyetalians (sic)" but when I thought of him as racist back then is was more wonderment of why than a judgment.
