Donald Trump denies groping allegations, lashes out at media
Donald Trump angrily denied allegations of sexual misconduct by several women and lashed out against the media as an arm of Hillary Clinton's campaign bent on preventing him from winning the White House.
"These vicious claims about me of inappropriate conduct with women are totally and absolutely false," the Republican nominee told a rally in West Palm Beach, Fla. "These claims are all fabricated. They're pure fiction, and they're outright lies. These events never happened."
Trump said the allegations that he kissed and groped women without their consent, emerging four weeks before the election, are evidence that the political establishment and special interests are frightened by Trump's campaign and his supporters.
"Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven't seen before," Trump said. "This is not simply another four-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization."
Trump responded less than 24 hours after multiple women complained in news accounts about Trump touching their bodies and kissing them against their will.
