Trump accuser's election bid is about more than #MeToo
CLYDE, Ohio (AP) — It didn't take Bonnie Mock more than a minute to begin telling the woman asking for her vote just how fed up she is with President Donald Trump.
"First of all, there's the way he treats women," she said.
What she didn't realize is that Rachel Crooks — standing on her front porch as a first-time candidate for a seat in Ohio's Legislature — is one of more than a dozen women who came forward during the 2016 campaign to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct.
Most people Crooks meets while campaigning don't know about that part of her past, and she rarely brings it up.
