News of Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump’s treatment of women has snowballed. Now we can add Miss Washington to the mix.

Miss Washington 2013 Cassandra Searles wrote on her Facebook page of her own encounters with Trump, according to Yahoo News. She recalls how Trump made them all do their introductions over because the women didn’t look him in the eye. She said the process in front of Trump was like being treated as cattle. She said that he had them all line up to “get a closer look at his property.”

“…that guy will be in the running to become the next President of the United States,” Searles wrote. “I love the idea of having a misogynist as the next president :|.”

The Facebook post was targeted at her fellow Miss USA contestants. They all chimed in with their own accounts. Then Searles added another memory of Trump:

He probably doesn’t want me telling the story about that time he continually grabbed my *** and invited me to his hotel room.

Miss Washington and the other women

The Miss Washington allegations were among a collection of similar reports from women that the New York Times looked into recently. A reporter with The Times contacted Trump over the phone about the reports. The newspaper reports:

‘None of this ever took place,’ said Trump, who began shouting at The Times reporter who was questioning him. He said that The Times was making up the allegations to hurt him and that he would sue the news organization if it reported them.

‘You are a disgusting human being,’ Trump told the reporter as she questioned him about the women’s claims.

Asked whether he had ever done any of the kissing or groping that he had described on the recording, Trump was once again insistent: ‘I don’t do it. I don’t do it. It was locker room talk.’
