Even though Brown denies the incident ever occurred, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump maintained on Friday that he was involved in a fantasy yarn about nearly dying in a helicopter crash with former San Francisco mayor Willie.
At a news conference covering a range of issues on Thursday, Trump told the story of his near-helicopter disaster with Willie Brown, who dated Democratic presidential contender Kamala Harris for a short time in the past. I had a helicopter drop me off…
With him, I went down in a helicopter,” Trump added. Perhaps this is the last chapter, we thought. We were all on board the helicopter headed to the same destination when an emergency landing occurred. The landing was not nice, and Willie was a bit…
Furthermore, Trump said that Willie Brown had informed him of “terrible things” regarding Harris.
The speaker of the California State Assembly and longstanding Democratic power broker, Brown, denied ever riding in a helicopter with the former president in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle published following Trump’s press conference.
Reports indicate that he informed the newspaper that if he had gone down in a chopper with Trump, it would have been obvious. Furthermore, he insisted he had never criticized Harris to Trump.
According to NBC News, in 2018, while Trump was president, he and then-Governor Jerry Brown flew a helicopter over areas of California that had been devastated by wildfires. The New York Times was informed by a spokesperson of former Governor Brown that there was no emergency landing and…
Despite the fact that Harris did not win her first election until 2002 and the two split up in the mid-1990s, Republicans have implied that Brown is somewhat to blame for Harris’ ascent to political prominence. During their time together, Brown appointed Harris, and you…
On Friday, Trump took a firm stance, posting on his Truth Social platform that his helicopter journey had taken place in New Jersey and that he had been accompanied by Black Willie Brown rather than White Jerry Brown.
Witnesses, Maintenance Records, and “Logs” were all present. On “Willie and Me,” Trump mentioned another story.
The evidence he mentioned in the post was not presented by him. In response to a request for the evidence Trump mentioned, the Trump team did not immediately provide it.
The New York Times reported on Friday that Trump had threatened to sue the publication for publishing his remarks on the helicopter story, saying that he would “probably” do so. In an interview with Truth Social, Trump attacked the publication and its reporter Maggie Haberman, calling her “Mag”.
A request for comment was not promptly addressed by The Times. A request for comment over the apparent mix-up was sent to the Harris campaign on Friday, but they did not immediately answer.
Also denying that Trump had a near-death experience in 2018, current California governor Gavin Newsom was a passenger on the flyover with Jerry Brown.
“I call utter B.S.,” he informed the Times.”
Trump, then 78 years old, routinely made fun of Democratic nominee Joe Biden, 81 years old, and offered to take a cognitive test to prove that Biden was too sick to be president during the November 5 election.
Since 59-year-old Harris has supplanted Biden as the ticket’s front-runner, Trump has had to quickly devise new strategies.
