Trump-loving gals scoff at ‘fake’ sex accusations
Whenever Mary Jo Smith hears talk about the notorious “Access Hollywood” tape , she cuts the discussion off immediately.
“You mean the locker room talk?” said Smith on Friday.
“Oh yeah, that’s really, really bad, isn’t it? Give me a break.”
Just as quickly, her friend, Karen Salvi, dismisses claims that Trump recently mocked Christine Blasey Ford over the sexual assault allegations she made against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s most recent pick for the Supreme Court, who appears to be heading toward confirmation.
“I’m a retired Chicago police officer, and I worked in sex: child sex, all kinds of sex,” she said. “Victims remember details … isn’t it funny that she brought this up right now after the hearing was over? She never brought it up ... for 36 years. That doesn’t make sense, and if it doesn’t make sense it’s not true.”
Salvi, 69, and Smith, 60, came to Washington from Florida to join other conservative women at the Women for America First Summit,” which began Thursday and will continue through Sunday at Trump International Hotel in downtown Washington.
Sponsored by the PAC Women Vote Trump, formally known as “Women Vote Smart,” the event featured as speakers several women associated with or known as key supporters of the President, including White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders; Trump daughter-inlaw Lara Trump; Katrina Pierson, the national spokeswoman for 2016 Trump campaign, and Fox TV personality and author Jeanine Pirro.
Smith said attendees focused on the mid-term, among other events. “There’s conversation about what actions we can be taking through social media, door-to-door campaigns, to promote those that believe in America first,” she said. The Daily News was not allowed access to the event, and a reporter and photographer were ordered off the hotel grounds.
The idea of women supporting Trump irked some passersby, who cited his alleged extramarital affairs, including one with porn star Stormy Daniels.
Leah Reynolds, 55, was particularly angered over his comments about Ford, made Tuesday at a Mississippi rally.
“Forget politics, forget Democrats, forget Republican, any individual with any type of empathy shouldn’t be OK with Donald Trump as a person,” she said.
But women supporting Trump were having none of it.
“I’ll give you the two words that best describe it,” said Smith. “And that’s fake news. Every bit of it.”
“All of this is manufactured by the left wing of the Democratic Party for no other reason than to disrupt his presidency,” said Smith.
