In case you needed the reminder, Donald Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by 16 women.
On Monday’s episode of Megyn Kelly Today, the NBC personality invited three of his accusers onto her daytime show in an effort to remind the public about the claims against POTUS.
Samantha Holvey, Jessica Leeds, and Rachel Crooks last spoke out about the allegations a year ago… before the 71-year-old was elected President.

They’re hoping now with the #MeToo movement, the public will finally care, as Samantha emotionally put it:
“It was heartbreaking last year. We’re private citizens, and for us to put ourselves out there to try and show America who this man is and especially how he views women, and for them to say ‘meh, we don’t care,’ it hurts. And so now it’s just like alright, let’s try round two. The environment’s different. Let’s try again.”
And she later questioned, “where do we draw the line?” on sexual assault claims concerning Roy Moore:
“It gives me goosebumps. Honestly, it gives me goosebumps whenever they say that ├óΓé¼┬ª Where do we draw the line? Where do we draw the line as women coming together in this country saying, ├óΓé¼╦£No. We don’t want to be treated like that anymore. We no longer accept this. It’s happened long enough. No.’ When does that happen?”

Samantha, who was entered in the 2006 Miss America pageant as the North Carolina representative, claimed Trump inspected her and the rest of the girls “like we were just meat.” She told CNN in October 2016 that it was “the dirtiest I felt in my entire life.”

Rachel, at 22, was repeatedly kissed by Trump, including on the lips at her workplace in Trump Towers when trying to introduce herself to him!
The White House has already responded to their daytime TV appearance, slamming them as “false claims” in a statement to Kelly:
“The timing and absurdity of these false claims speaks volumes and the publicity tour that has begun only further confirms the political motives behind them.”
Hopefully more people are listening to their stories this time!
