Luc Robitaille's wife, Stacia, recalls 'aggressive' encounter with Trump
Stacia Robitaille shared a story of an unwanted encounter with U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this week:
I was once on a elevator alone with @realDonaldTrump (& a man w/him) at Madison Square Gardens. He was aggressive & told me I was coming home with him. I laughed, stating I was married to a Ranger. He guaranteed me my husband didn’t make as much money as him. #ThisIsOurPresident

On Wednesday, the wife of Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille explained her motivation for sharing it:
I tweeted about an unwarranted & uncomfortable experience I faced years ago — my tweet was not for money or attention, but in hope that others would not be intimidated by these horrific bullies we face today. Responses I’ve received are why women don’t speak up in first place.

More than a dozen women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct in the last year, according to The Associated Press.
Luc Robitaille, who's now the president of the Los Angeles Kings, played for the New York Rangers - who call Madison Square Garden home - for two seasons in the mid-1990s.
