When ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos asked Donald Trump about his accusers on Wednesday, the Republican nominee lashed out and said the ABC host was wasting time on the topic.
“You know, I hate that you waste time, when we’re talking about ISIS, and we’re talking about jobs, and you’re still bringing that up. Everybody wants to bring it up,” Trump said when Stephanopoulos first mentioned the issue. “These were false attacks. These things never happened. These people — I don’t know these people. These things never, ever happened. This was out of the blue, it was made up, probably by the Clinton campaign.”
Stephanopoulos asked Trump for evidence that the Hillary Clinton campaign pushed accusers to speak out. In response, Trump said that “many of those stories have already been debunked.”
And when Stephanopoulos asked Trump about the accusations from a People magazine writer, who presented several witnesses, Trump questioned why the writer, Natasha Stoynoff, didn’t come forward years ago.
The ABC host noted that Stoynoff said she was afraid to come forward, which Trump rejected.
“Oh, she was afraid. Give me a break,” Trump said. “She would have gotten the Pulitzer Prize. Give me a break.”
“They’re made up stories — you want to know why? Fame, or they wanted to help Clinton, or something,” he added.
When Stephanopoulos began to ask another question, Trump interjected and said, “George, let’s not waste any more time. These stories were fabricated. They’re total lies.”
The ABC host then asked Trump if he would follow through on his threat to sue his accusers.
“We’ll find out,” Trump replied. “Let’s see what happened with the election. We’re going to find out.”

The only answer…
Ya check . With Thanks to Matt Bors
Trump extremism on display again.
Trump lives in a false reality where everything is either 0 or 100, nothing exists in between those poles. Everyone is lying, “These things never, ever happened” “These people…I don’t know these people” Things are tremendously great or horribly disgusting.
Which is the biggest tell that Trump is a pathological liar. Because the world simply isn’t black or white, on or off, 0 or 100. Its shades of grey. He absolutely knows quite a few of these women (How can he not know a woman to whom he gave repeated interviews for a decade and a half??)
Discovery is going to bury his cowardly orange butt.
He probably won’t sue these women now that they have all gotten high powered pro bono representation. BTW, they think the sniffing is a ‘tell’ that he’s lying. He seems to sniff heavily when he knows he’s lying.
The thing is, Trump never stops talking about the accusers. Why should the media not ask about them? Oh, that’s right. This is a man who threw a tantrum when his then-girlfriend showed him up at skiing!
Trump does hate wasting time.
That’s why he does the “pussy grab” first thing.
