Less than two months ago, Alva Johnson, a former Trump campaign staffer, came forward to accuse Donald Trump of kissing her without her consent in 2016. In so doing, Johnson became the 16th woman to accuse the president of groping, kissing, or assaulting her. At least seven additional women have accused Trump of sexual harassment.
Beyond the slew of accusations, Trump was infamously recorded bragging about groping women on a hot mic. When his remarks were published by the Washington Post in October 2016, Trump issued a perfunctory apology and downplayed it as “locker room talk,” but the behavior he boasted about reflects the accounts of many of his accusers.
