Any advice to listeners on when to stand up to a bully?
#EJeanCarroll
I would have to meet each person individually. Standing up is not easy, because you not only have the bully that's trying to knock you down, you have all the bully's followers trying to knock you down. I cannot tell other women to do this. It is very, very difficult.
Errin Haines reports that thought Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll, a majority of Republican women are sticking by their man.

Donald #Trump fired off a late night post in which he said he is "interviewing various law firms" to represent him in his appeal of the #EJeanCarroll verdict, leaving many to wonder if Alina #Habba's time on the case is over. #legal
"This is a classic example of an elite person — here, a New York Times columnist born to good fortune and educated at the University of Chicago and the London School of Economics — suddenly becoming outraged at the injustices of the system when it is used against another elite person — here, a famous and powerful billionaire who was the President of the United States and might be again."

Judge Kaplan told the #EJeanCarroll jurors to NEVER reveal their identity, because of the fear of attacks from Trump & his followers. They'll probably comply since they saw what happened to Carroll when Trump called her a liar.
And remember the 275 pages of transcribed voicemails threats to #Engoron's clerk?
People making these threats need to be found, tried & punished.
The video after Trump's trial for sexual assault where he first denies ever meeting E Jean Carroll, then talks about winding up in a dressing room with her where he sexually assaulted her.
