“Now I feel like my girls are about to turn 13 years old and I want them to know that you don’t let anybody do anything to you that you don’t want,” she said. “And I’d rather be a role model. I want them to see that I didn’t stay quiet, that I stood up to somebody who did something that was unacceptable."

This is just another pathetic attempt to attack President Trump right before the election” as reported by NY Times.

More than two dozen women have accused President Trump of sexual misconduct over the last few decades. At least 10 women, including Dorris, have accused Trump of groping or kissing them without their consent. However, he has repeatedly denied all these allegations.
