Former Trump girlfriend hits back at 'upsetting' NYT cover story
Source: Politico
The New York Times' article published Saturday with the headline "Crossing the Line: How Donald Trump Behaved With Women in Private" begins with an anecdote from a woman named Rowanne Brewer Lane, who as a 26-year-old model was asked by the businessman to put on a swimsuit during their first meeting at a Mar-a-Lago pool party.
"But the 1990 episode at Mar-a-Lago that Ms. Brewer Lane described was different: a debasing face-to-face encounter between Mr. Trump and a young woman he hardly knew. This is the private treatment of some women by Mr. Trump, the up-close and more intimate encounters," the Times wrote.
On Monday morning, Brewer Lane appeared on "Fox & Friends" to dispute the Times' framing of her account.
"Actually, it was very upsetting. I was not happy to read it at all," Brewer Lane said. "Well, because The New York Times told us several times that they would make sure that my story that I was telling came across. They promised several times that they would do it accurately. They told me several times and my manager several times that it would not be a hit piece and that my story would come across the way that I was telling it and honestly, and it absolutely was not."

(2,900 posts)This isn't news. The NYT has been doing this at least as long as I've been alive. Just ask Wen Ho Lee. The NYT destroyed his life just to smear the President Clinton, accusing Lee (falsely) of being a spy for China, and somehow Clinton was responsible for personally overseeing security at the Los Alamos Labs.
I have no doubt that Trump is crude, I've seen it myself. But not everyone is offended by his attentions. This woman was quite flattered, and the story did not reflect that.

The Second Stone
(2,900 posts)You and I do not care for Donald Trump, but clearly a lot of people like him way too much. I think it is more likely that the NYT is still lying. They could release the tape of the interview and defend their reputation, but I'm betting they won't.
