If you don&#39;t know the name Rachel Crooks, learn it. She is one of a growing list of women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault. In a Washington Post article published yesterday, she alleges that Trump kissed her against her will for two minutes when she was 22 and he was 59.&quot;He started kissing me on one cheek, then the other cheek,&quot; she told the Post. &quot;He was talking to me in between kisses, asking where I was from, or if I wanted to be a model. He wouldn&rsquo;t let go of my hand, and then he went right in and started kissing me on the lips.&quot;Apparently these allegations got under Trump&#39;s skin (doesn&#39;t seem to take much). They sparked his latest morning tweet-storm:A woman I don’t know and, to the best of my knowledge, never met, is on the FRONT PAGE of the Fake News Washington Post saying I kissed her (for two minutes yet) in the lobby of Trump Tower 12 years ago.
