including a town hall in Pennsylvania where she was joined
by former Republican Congresswoman list Chamy Chance to.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Say, you know, we're going to reject cruelty. We're going
to reject the kind of vile vitriol that we've seen
from Donald Trump. We're going to reject the misogyny that
we've seen from Donald Trump.

I'm asking.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Before the former president arrived in North Carolina, the state's
Democratic governor publicly urged him not to spread misinformation but look.
Speaking east of Ashville, Donald Trump described FEMA's rescue effort
as almost nonexistent, and he repeated his unfounded claim that
the agency has misdirected disaster funding. It's all done, They've
spent it on illegal migrants. FEMA says the sheltering of

migrants is funded separately from disaster relief and at a
fraction of the cost. Stephen Portnoy ABC News.

Washington former President Trump facing a defamation lawsuit. Earlier today,
members of the Central Park Five filed the suit against
the former president, accusing him of spreading false, misleading, and
defamatory statements about their nineteen eighty nine case during the
presidential debate last month on ABC Attorneys representing the five
men filed the civil suit in a federal court in Pennsylvania.
(01:51):
They're seeking monetary damages. The men were accused of a
violent rape of a woman in Central Park in nineteen
eighty nine. They maintained their innocence, but were convict and
went to prison. A decade after the attack, a different
man confest and that was confirmed with DNA. The former
president made comments that the group entered guilty please and
killed a person ultimately, which is not true. In a

statement ABC News, a campaign spokesperson for the former president
calls it another election interference lawsuit. I like the weather
toid a record today in Boston eighty two degrees. We've
been unseasonally mild, but it still is closing in on
November and closing in on flu season. WBC's Mike Maclin

(02:32):
give you free shot.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
The free vaccination clinics will take place across the city

the flu and COVID nineteen as we head into the
colder winter months. The clinics are free. This week. There's
a clinic on Thursday from one to five pm. Next
(02:53):
