Related: About this forumIs Clinton holding the Jill Harth card if Trump brings up Bill's infidelities?
Jill Harth was someone that had a business deal with Donald Trump in 1993. She was engaged at the time but when Trump gave her a tour of Mar-a-Lago he pull her aside into a room, cornered her and put his hands on her and tried to get up her dress. She took him to court but dropped the suit later. She was willing to let bygones be bygones, even going so far as to offer her services to his campaign, however, she balked when Trump started telling media she was making the whole thing up.
I'm wondering if the Clinton campaign has talked to her and has her ready to make the media circuits again should Trump be stupid enough to go the Bill Clinton's affairs route. The press has already covered the Trump harassment stories earlier in the campaign but if Trump goes there it would give the perfect excuse to do so again.
I think Trump is playing with fire here.

it is self-destructive for all women long term.
Because basically she reacted like women are suppose to react, let vile sexism pass, bear it.
He thinks he won, he can do whatever he likes and women will just let it slide.
It's hard to go against this internalized feeling that we should endure this, that's how it is; but it must be done nevertheless.
