(11,238 posts)He immediately acknowledged the photo & apologized for the crass humor of it. He DID deny her accusation about the kiss, and her third accusation was revealed by others to be a provable lie so why would he respond?
He didn't have to deny that he "stalked" the radio host because it came out that that accusation was a deliberate mischaracterization.
He denied categorically the accusation about trying to kiss the anonymous woman and he denied saying "it's my right as an entertainer."
This last accusationthat having put his arm around the waist of the woman who asked him to take a picture with her was him "copping a feel"is so absurd as to be unanswerable. In my view. But I suppose you would know exactly how you would respond effectively to a charge that is ridiculous on its face.
But it doesn't matter now. It was "his turn in the barrel" as Roger Stone said, just before day 1, and we can only sit back and wait for whose turn it will be next. Maybe they'll handle it better, in exactly the way you think they should.
