The country is reeling after some audio from a 2005 Access Hollywood hot mic. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump talked about liking to kiss and fondle women without their permission. He used the now infamous phrase, “Grab them by the pussy.”
The female Trump surrogates are trying to make excuses for their lech of a candidate. Scottie Nell Hughes, a Trump surrogate, went on CNN to talk about the fallout from these tapes. She said that women were not “affected” by Trump’s remarks.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine talked about the tapes in an interview on Friday. Kaine said:
“It makes me sick to my stomach.”
Kaine also said:
“It’s not just word. It’s really talking about a pattern of sexual assault.”
Yesterday, Kaine sat down for an interview with Attn:. He said:
“This is more than just talk. The tape yesterday is Donald Trump describing his actions, and there are women who are basically coming out and saying, ‘Yeah, he did that to me.'”
“If it were locker room banter, it would probably be a little bit of a disqualifier in the character of somebody you want as commander-in-chief. But he’s describing things he did that are basically tantamount to sexual abuse or sexual assault. Everybody who supports Donald Trump, especially GOP candidates and office holders need to be asked, ‘Do you think he’s qualified to be president and do you still support him?'”
When asked about whether or not the topic would come up during the debate, Kaine said:
“I just can’t imagine that undecided voters as part of this town hall will not want to hear him explain why he thought that was acceptable behavior.”
I think we all need to hear what Donald Trump has to say about himself after this bombshell scandal. I hope this sways the undecided voters to the Democratic nominee.
