Trump Adviser Accused Of Making Unwanted Sexual Advances Towards Donor

Over the weekend, longtime Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski allegedly made lewd sexual comments and advances towards a Republican donor in Las Vegas, prompting the victim to claim that she was scared about what he might do to her. Lewandowski currently runs Trump's "Make America Great Again Action Super PAC" and served as the campaign manager for Trump's 2016 campaign. This isn't the first time that Lewandowski has been accused of this type of behavior, either. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Corey Lewandowski, who served as Donald Trump's campaign manager in 2016 and honestly, up until just a few hours ago was the chief of his Make America Great Again action super PAC, was accused of harassing a woman this past weekend and not just any woman. This was at a, you know, donor event. The woman and her husband are huge Republican donors. And she accused him of harassing her, stalking her and inappropriately touching her. Here's what happened. The woman is a woman by the name of Trashelle Odom and this is from Politico. Trashelle Odom, the wife of Idaho construction executive John Odom, alleges that Lewandowski repeatedly touched her, including on her leg and buttocks and spoke to her in sexually graphic terms. Odom said that Lewandowski stalked her throughout the evening. Four people who were firsthand witnesses at the event, corroborated Odom's allegations. Politico also spoke with two people.

One who was at the event, one who was not, who described conversations they had with Odom about the incidents immediately after they happened. And now here is how Odom describes it in her own words. He repeatedly touched me inappropriately, said vile and disgusting things to me, stalked me and made me feel violated and fearful. I am coming forward because he needs to be held accountable. I am blessed to have a loving husband and family behind me. I want other women to know that you can be heard too, and together we can stop terrible things like this from happening. See, here's the problem though with Lewandowski, this is not the first time he's been accused of behavior like this. That pro-Trump singer Joy Villa also came forward with, you know, allegations like this against Corey Lewandowski, that went largely unreported, completely under the radar. Honestly, I didn't know about that until I read this story.

So Joy Villa had already sounded the alarm bells. You know, I don't care what you think about her political views or whatever. This is a woman who says that she was targeted just like Mrs. Odom was. She came forward with this said, listen, Lewandowski is a creep. He's doing all these crazy things that are making me uncomfortable. They're making me feel fearful and violated and nobody gave a about that. And that's not okay. Lewandowski was still serving as, as the chair of the Make America Great Again action super PAC, again, up until these allegations from Odom. Lewandowski again has been removed from that position several days after, you know, this happened, this past weekend, actually. So here's the other thing I want to talk about. This isn't surprising, not just based on Lewandowski past, but based on who he pals around with, who he hitched his wagon to, Donald Trump. You know, birds of a feather and all that, right. I mean, I think that's the situation we're looking at here.

The things that Odom describes that Lewandowski did, and it goes into even more graphic detail in the story. I'm not even going to, you know, say those things. But we've heard these stories before of the women who've come forward about Donald Trump's behavior. I mean, hell, it's almost a carbon copy at this point. So Lewandowski really was a perfect fit working for Donald Trump because based on the way they treat women, the two of them are basically separated at birth. I'm glad Lewandowski was removed.
