The magazine columnist who accused President Donald Trump of raping her said she would not bring charges against Trump because of women on the border, according to an interview with MSNBC Friday evening.
E. Jean Carroll, 75, has had an advice column in Elle magazine called “Ask E. Jean” since 1993. She accused Trump of raping her when she 52 in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. The accusation is part of her upcoming book “What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal.” The first-person account was featured as an excerpt from her book in New York Magazine’s The Intelligencer.
Carroll announced that she would not bring a rape charge against Trump in an interview with MCNBC’s “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell” Friday. Carroll said that it would be “disrespectful of the women down on the border” who she alleges are being “raped around the clock without any protection.”
“It would just be disrespectful,” Carroll said in the interview. “Mine was three minutes. I can handle it. I can keep going. My life has gone on, I’m a happy woman but for the women down there and for the women — actually around the world, and every culture this is going on.”
There have been reports of migrant women being raped by their smugglers and strangers as they travel across the border. Trump has used this danger as a reason for developing a border wall, stating that “1 in 3 women” are raped while traveling through Mexico.
Carroll did not explain the reasoning behind why bringing a rape charge against Trump would equal disrespect for other women who have been raped, although her book does include another abuse allegation and she expresses regret at not reporting that one.
“I could have spoke up,” Carroll wrote in her upcoming book. “Maybe not when I was 12 but when I was 25. He died when I was 34. I might have stopped him.”
