An Open Letter

To: Sen. Cornyn

From: A verified voter in Garland, TX

April 8

Sir, I just saw your FB post on your meeting with and support of RAINN during their national Annual Day of Action. Maybe they don’t remember, but I do. You also support this man to be the leader of your party and of the United States. Perhaps a refresher is in order. At trial, Ms. Carroll testified: • “He [(Mr. Trump)] immediately shut the [(dressing room)] door and shoved me up against the wall and shoved me so hard my head banged.” • “I pushed him back, and he thrust me back against the wall again, banging my head again.” • “He put his shoulder against me and hold [sic] me against the wall.” • “I remember him being -- he was very large, and his whole weight came against my chest and held me up there, and he leaned down and pulled down my tights.” • “I was pushing him back․ I pushed him back. This arm was pinned down. This arm had my purse. Trying to get him back.” • “His head was beside mine breathing. First, he put his mouth against me.” • “[I was] [s]tamping and trying to wiggle out from under him. But he had pulled down my tights and his hand went -- his fingers went into my vagina, which was extremely painful, extremely painful. It was a horrible feeling because he curved, he put his hand inside of me and curved his finger. As I'm sitting here today, I can still feel it.” • “Then he inserted his penis.” • “He was against me, his whole shoulder -- I couldn't see anything. I couldn't see anything that was happening. But I could certainly feel it. I could certainly feel that pain in the finger jamming up.”8 After a day and a half of direct testimony, Ms. Carroll was subjected to a lengthy cross examination during which she testified: “Q. It's your story that at some point you felt his penis inside of you? A. Yes. Q. But before that, it's your sworn testimony that you felt his fingers, what you said was rummaging around your vagina? A. It's an unforgettable feeling. Q. Now, when you say rummaging around your vagina, that's different than inserting a finger inside your vagina. A. At first he rummaged around and then he put his finger inside me. Q. In your book you wrote that he was forcing his fingers around my private area and then thrust his penis halfway completely, I'm not certain, inside me. Is that accurate? A. Yes.” We will never forget.
