In case you missed it, there’s been another sexual assault allegation against Donald Trump, this time from a former model named Amy Dorris:

Amy Dorris is of course not the first woman to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct. Remarkable to read how consistent the allegations – all denied by the president – have been over the years. https://t.co/Bfi10ie8Vd

Remarkable how this story is rippling through the media today:

“Dorris, who was 24 at the time, accuses Trump of forcing his tongue down her throat, assaulting her all over her body and holding her in a grip she was unable to escape from.”
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) September 17, 2020
“Her account was also corroborated by several people she confided in about the incident. They include a friend in New York and Dorris’s mother, both of whom she called immediately after the alleged incident, as well as a therapist and friends she spoke to in the years since.”

Ex-model Amy Dorris claims Trump “shoved his tongue down my throat” at 1997 U.S. Open.
She alleged she told Trump “No, please stop” but “he didn’t care.”

Sexual assault allegations are basically a death sentence for politicians’ careers.
Except when they’re not.
Pay attention to everybody who's aghast at this story, and then see what they said about Tara Reade. https://t.co/Eu3g1aTLQ5

Stephen L. Miller, aka @redsteeze, has been paying attention. And he’s sharing his findings with the class:

SAY IT, JUDD.
"I used Tara Reade to bash Trump," bragged Juddle Gum

That’s the best Judd can do. That’s the best most of the media can do.
We warned you. We warned what you would do to your industry and your credibility. And here you go. https://t.co/w5qnOOzOaR pic.twitter.com/RUac84nmzT

FWIW yeah this sounds like Trump.
— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) September 17, 2020
And it may very well have been. But the media — and #MeToo — did themselves irreparable damage by defending Joe Biden against Tara Reade’s allegations, or just outright attempting to bury Tara Reade’s allegations.
Quite a different tune! https://t.co/MWaMuraNfg pic.twitter.com/1BFlbI71t3

This was NBC's first tweet on the Reade allegations. Subtle difference. pic.twitter.com/YyZyK95NO1

So very subtle.

Did Donald Trump sexually assault Amy Dorris? We may never know.
But what we do know is that the media and #MeToo have given us little to no reason to trust them when it comes to sexual assault allegations, because they’ve made it abundantly clear that some sexual assault allegations are more equal than others.
Meanwhile, folks hoping that Amy Dorris’ allegations are the silver bullet that derails the Trump Train once and for all are deluding themselves:
I just heard the most AMAZING Donald Trump story from many years ago…once again confirming he is a truly horrible human being who should not be President.
