NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A former campaign staffer alleges in a lawsuit that then-candidate Donald Trump kissed her without her consent in 2016.
Alva Johnson told The Washington Post he kissed her on the side of her mouth during a small gathering of supporters ahead of a rally in Tampa on Aug. 24 of that year.
She said it was “super-creepy and inappropriate.”
“I immediately felt violated because I wasn’t expecting it or wanting it,” she told the Post. “I can still see his lips coming straight for my face.”
Johnson, who is black, also accuses the campaign of discrimination, saying she was paid less than her white male counterparts.
She is seeking unspecified damages for emotional pain and suffering, according to the Post.
Both the White House and the campaign have denied the allegations.
In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called the allegation “absurd on its face,” and a campaign spokeswoman says the claim of discrimination is “off-base and unfounded.”
Two Trump supporters who Johnson names as witnesses denied they saw the alleged kiss, according to the Post.
More than a dozen other women have accused Trump of touching them inappropriately, but Johnson is the only one to come forward since he became president.
