Former Fox News reporter says Trump invited her to his office 'so we can kiss'

A former Fox News reporter (Courtney Friel) has added her name to the list of nearly two dozen women who have accused Donald Trump of making unwanted sexual advances towards them. In a book published next week, the Fox & Friends fill-in host Courtney Friel claims Trump propositioned her before he became US president.

“You should come up to my office sometime, so we can kiss,” Friel says Trump told her, adding that he considered her “the hottest one at Fox News”. The claims, reported by the New York Daily News, are contained in Friel’s upcoming memoir, Tonight At 10: Kicking Booze and Breaking News.

Friel, 39, says Trump’s come-on was made during a phone call to her office weeks after she mentioned an interest in working as a judge on his Miss USA beauty pageant. She says she was shocked by the proposition, which “came out of nowhere”.

“‘Donald,’ I responded, ‘I believe we’re both married.’ I quickly ended the call,” she wrote in her book.

How absolutely repulsive! Does he really think that any woman in her right mind would want to kiss him or do anything more? Has he forgotten that Stormy has told the entire world that he has a tiny little mushroom dick? Has he no shame?

.... anything about it then before the election? She could have put Trump's predatory sexual
behavior out in front of all those "fox bots" from one of their own.

And now she is talking to sell a book? Please. I want to write fuck her and the horse she rode
in on but i won't because I have too much class.

if "Grab 'em By the Hoo Ha" didn't harm him, I'm not sure that "How bout a little kiss" would have done him much damage either.
