Another day, another woman has stepped forward to say Donald Trump groped and humiliated her. This time it is Karena Virginia, who made a tearful statement (video below) describing how Donald Trump grabbed and humiliated her in front a group of men at the 1998 U.S. Open tournament in New York. Choking back tears, Virginia said she decided to come forward to support the other nine women who’ve come forward with their own creepy, groping Donald Trump stories and because she wanted to be be a role model for her own daughter.
A brief recap:
Virginia said she had never met Trump before the incident occurred. She said she was waiting for her car when she saw Trump talking to other men and overheard Trump tell the men: “'Hey look at this one. We haven’t seen her before. Look at those legs.' As though I was an object, rather than a person.”
She said Trump approached her, grabbed her by the arm and touched her right breast.
"I was in shock, I flinched," Virginia said. "'Don’t you know who I am?' That's what he said to me."
Watch her tear-filled statement about the incident and how it affected her for years afterward:
She said Trump's actions made her ashamed that she wore a short dress and high heels and that for years afterward she struggled with what to wear so as not to attract unwanted attention from men.
