EX Mayor, Willie Brown Claims That Trump’s Scary Helicopter Ride Isn’t Real

Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown has dismissed Donald Trump’s story of a terrifying helicopter trip as “fiction.” Trump claimed that he and Mr. Brown shared a helicopter crash, causing concern among Mr. Brown.

Trump said “We thought maybe this was the end, We were in a helicopter… and there was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing.”

“I don’t think I’d want to ride on the same helicopter with him.”

Later, in a call to the New York Times, Trump reiterated that the story was accurate and that he was “probably going to sue,” without providing further details.

“I don’t think I’d want to ride on the same helicopter with him,” Mr. Brown, 90, said to US media after denying ever riding in a helicopter with Trump.

Trump misunderstood Jerry Brown, former governor of California, with whom he shared a helicopter ride in 2018 to visit the aftermath of the Paradise wildfires, while current state governor Gavin Newsom was also on the flight.

There had been no danger or emergency landing, the two men told US media. “I call complete BS,” Mr. Newsom stated to The New York Times.

“Well, I know Willie Brown very well,”

In answer to a query concerning Willie Brown’s connection with Kamala Harris, 59, during her tenure as a California prosecutor in the mid-1990s, Trump shared his account.

Trump acknowledged the relationship with Willie Brown, stating he knows him well, but later claimed that the former mayor had told him “terrible things” about Ms. Harris during a flight.

“He had a big part in what happened with Kamala,” Trump said.

Former Mayor denied this, he said “That’s so far-fetched, it’s unbelievable, I could not envision thinking of Kamala Harris in any negative way. She’s a good friend a long time ago, absolutely beautiful woman, smart as all hell, very successful, electorally speaking. He was doing what Donald does best, his creative fiction.”

Jerry Brown’s spokesperson denied discussing Ms. Harris on a helicopter flight in 2018. 

Trump’s comments come as a recent national poll shows Harris is ahead among likely voters. Both candidates have visited battleground states to speak to voters alongside their vice-presidential candidates.
