Billy Bush under fire over vulgar Trump tape
CNN ^ | 10/7/2016 | Brian Stelter

Posted on 10/07/2016 3:42:04 PM PDT by edh

"Today" show co-host Billy Bush had no immediate comment about his role chatting with Donald Trump on a vulgar 2005 videotape revealed Friday.

Angry comments piled up on Bush's Facebook page from viewers who were disgusted by the contents of the tape, in which Trump brags in graphic terms about being able to grope women "when you're a star."

The "Today" show Facebook page was also overtaken by hundreds of critical comments. Some viewers said they want Bush to be suspended or fired.

NBC News had no immediate comment on that, either.

If Trump was running for Pope this might have changed my vote, but I doubt it.

What I don’t like about it, is it pretty much makes a mockery of Conservatives standing for Family Values.

Plenty of guys who live their lives in support of "Family Values" have been known to talk like Mr. Trump and the other guys in the tape did.

I didn’t even need a /sarc tag to see what you did there.

Apparently some folks did.

I laugh with you.

If he mentions it, they slap him hard with the audio. They will surely mention it anyway.

I doubt it will help you with your panic attack, but Trump has already "Trumped" them:

“This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”

Should they bring up the topic he can repeat whatever Bill Clinton said - and for all Hillary knows that may include Bill's observations about her sexual activities with other women, or maybe some of the young women she used to fool around with in Arkansas.

>>This POS just handed her the election.

Surely you must be on the wrong site. This is a 100% PRO Trump site. Calling Mr. Trump a POS is unhelpful, and unwelcome here.

Sorry, I can't defend the indefensible. I guess he was right when he said he could shoot somebody on the street and not lose any vote.

Aggressively persuing is not “forcing himself on” anyone. He explicitly said nothing happened between him and the woman in question. We have enough distortions coming out of the media not to need more on FR.

I understand your disgust at his words, TM, I feel the same way. We must find a way to get past it for the sake of our country and our children.

My issue is showing respect for the stated wishes of the site’s owner. You have every right to feel the way you do, TM, but to post it on Jim’s site after his repeated requests not to do so is a matter of courtesy. That’s all.

Women discuss men in lewd language. Women sometimes discuss with a friend or sisters their husbands performance and attributes in great detail that could(did) surprise a husband.

Trump is still by far the best choice of all those who ran,

The whole Bush family must have had a climactic moment when Billy remembered this tape.

There is no way to slice it, this is very bad. While the media will continue to ignore the actual rape of a number of women by Clinton, they will be playing this audio 24/7.


Yeah, it's bad.

I've been expecting this sort of stuff to come out since Trump began his run.

Donald Trump went through a middle age bachelor, mid life crisis stage where and his other Rich and Famous buddies were in a competition to convince the NY public they were the biggest, coolest studs ever to hit the NY City night life.

They were especially partial to , in the words of The Donald at the time, “women a bit on the younger side” .

By “on the younger side”, they meant hot babes and celebs and models in their early twenties - young ladies just under half their age and old enough to be their daughters .

This is compared to Bill Clinton's interest in under age sex slaves not even old enough to be his junior high school granddaughters.

One thing is for certain, there was no coercion on Trump's part as his lady friends were not just willing , but enthusiastic participants in letting the good times roll.

All said and done, Trumps a pretty decent guy and IMHO a lot of his bluster was posing to manufacture a reputation. I say this because Trump was on record as being really very critical and turned off by the whole 1970s and 80s Studio 54 style NY beautiful people debauchery scene

Given Trumps intentional efforts to manufacture his own personal larger than life, Warren Beatty wannabe style reputation, more of this crude sort of stuff will probably be forthcoming, so be prepared

You shouldn’t make assumptions about people whom you don’t know. I am the furthest thing from a snowflake as you could imagine.

You seem pretty low-energy to me.

Many people in here knew that Trump was the candidate the MSM wanted, the only one who the bitch had a chance to beat. The GOP, as usual, swallowed it hook, line & sinker. Rubio, Cruz, Dr. Carson, Fiorina, Huckabee, all of them would be ahead of her by double digits -

Thanks for the laugh!!!

“for the sake of our country and our children”

Yeah, that is a conversation I am not willing to have with my thirteen year old daughter : “Yeah darling, the man bragging about groping woman has my vote because he is still better than Hillary.” Where is the freaking limit?

What does it say about the state of our Country? How can I look at her with a straight face and tell her: "It's my patriotic duty to cast my vote for this trash can."

Hope you are laughing Nov 9. I just hope, as one poster said, this will be dismissed a locker banter. I still think it will turn off a number of people.

I’m also hoping someone has a tape of her exploding and dropping F-bombs everywhere.

By the way, through the early part of the primaries many people thought there were better GOP candidates than Trump. I was a Carson supporter.

Trump Could say something like; This is some thing I said over a decade ago, and I am ashamed of it. How many of us would love to go back and talk some sense into our younger selves?
