Two ads that show women accusing former President Donald Trump of sexual assault are now circulating on the air waves.
The ads are funded by a political action committee headed by George Conway, the ex-husband of Kellyanne Conway, a former Trump aide, according to an exclusive report by People.
The ads launched Wednesday.
One ad features a reporter for People who was at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida resistance, in December 2005 to interview Trump and his wife, Melania Trump.
“At one point, Melania went upstairs to change her clothes for the next photo shoot, and Trump said to me, ‘I want to show you this beautiful painting, this beautiful room.’ He leads me to this room, pushes me against the wall, and starts kissing me forcefully,” Natasha Stoynoff alleges. “I tried to push him. He kept coming back at me.”
“I was in shock and smothered, and he had his hands here against my shoulders. I felt sick inside. I felt horrified, and thank goodness the butler charges into the room,” she added. “Like many women, I blamed myself. So Trump turned to me and said, ‘You know we’re going have an affair, don’t you?’ and Melania was approaching. I was horrified.”
Trump has previously said the claim had “no merit or veracity.”
Another ad features Jessica Leeds, who claimed Trump grabbed her breast. He also allegedly tried to put his hand up her skirt as they were on a flight in 1979.
Her account was first published in a 2016 New York Times report.
Leeds said she saw Trump at a charity event two years later at which time he made a “crude remark.”
Leeds recounted their alleged interaction on the plane in the ad.
“The airplane took off, and all of a sudden Donald Trump started groping me. He was trying to kiss me and I’m trying to push him away, he was basically overpowering me,” she alleged.
“When he started putting his hand up my skirt I got out of the seat, grabbed my purse, and went back to my original seat and I certainly was shook up by the whole thing,” Leeds said.
Trump has denied the claims in the Times article.
The ads are set to air on Fox News, ESPN, and The Golf Channel — his favorite channels — in West Palm Beach, Florida, and Bedminster, New Jersey, where he had homes.
The ads will also air nationally on CNN, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Hallmark, Lifetime and streaming platforms in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
They will air on NewsNation during the vice presidential debate on Oct. 1.
Both Stoynoff and Leeds, were witnesses in E. Jean Carroll’s sexual abuse civil trial against Trump.
A jury held Trump liable of sexually assaulting Carroll in a dressing room in the ’90s.
Trump denied Carroll’s accusations.
