In a recent statement, E. Jean Carroll, an author and advice columnist who accused former President Donald Trump of sexual assault, spoke out about her perception of his influence and the lack of courage among Republican leaders. Carroll expressed her belief that it was the people around Trump who held the real power, emphasizing that he himself was "nothing."

Carroll's remarks came during a discussion where she highlighted her own experiences and bravery in facing the former president. She confidently stated that there was no need to fear Trump, as she believed he was merely a figurehead and could easily be brought down. Carroll pointed to her own strength, stating that she could knock him down twice with her resilience and determination.

During her passionate comments, Carroll also criticized the Republican Party, accusing them of bowing down to Trump and lacking the courage and integrity to stand up to him. She singled out Liz Cheney and Chris Christie as notable exceptions who had spoken out against the former president. Carroll expressed the belief that Republican leaders secretly wanted Trump gone but lacked the guts to vocalize their true feelings.

The statement also brought attention to some notable politicians from Alabama who had initially supported Trump but later reconsidered their stance. Carroll named Jeff Sessions, Mo Brooks, Bradley Byrne, Luther Strange, and Roy Moore as examples of individuals who, over time, realized their mistake in supporting Trump.

The remarks made by Carroll shed light on her perspective of Trump's influence and the dynamics within the Republican Party. Her bold words resonated with those who have criticized the former president and those who have called for stronger opposition from within the party.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, Carroll's remarks serve as a reminder of the diverse opinions and frustrations that exist within the Republican Party and the broader political sphere.
