"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.

Trump didn’t make these comments today as the person he is today. He said them 11 years ago. Though the press would like it to seem like he just said it today.
It’s not good for the election. So I guess we will have open borders, drugs, rapes, Muslim terror, corruption, etc. To me it’s the issues that matter.
Agreed.
Without Family Values there is no Conservatism. The abandonment of the Family is the Number One reason for the growth of Big Government.
Oh, whatever.
My vote for Trump counts as much as yours.
Donald can remind them that there are much more important issues for the next President than 11 yr old comments.
And if the insist in old things he can suggest Hillary’s actions toward those assaulted by Bill, Hillary’s inaction toward those under her department in Benghazi, and assigned to clean up her email mess, etc etc
I will naturally vote foe DJT as well, but agree that this is very bad and he will take a hit from women, but only women who were on the fence as I see it. The thing that bothers me about this is that yesterday I am on social media and I see a post by a good woman friend I work with. I have no idea what her political affiliation is as she has never once brought it up in person, on social media, etc. nor has she even commented on this election. Anyway she was absolutely furious with DJT’s comments about the ill “hanging on” to vote or him. She wrote quite a lengthy diatribe about how he was too insensitive to be POTUS. As I read the comments, it turned out there were 10 women, and 1 man I work with and know personally who chimed in also appalled. Out of the whole bunch I have only heard 1 of them, a women, talk about politics before and that was to ask me a question about Ron Paul. All of them are low info voters, and if I had to bet only 4 or 5 of them will actually vote. However, I am avoiding the whole situation after today’s revelation. For those women who actually follow politics and objectively measure the deeds of HRC vs. DJT and care for our country, They will overlook this or at the very least hold their nose and vote for him. For low info voting women, or women still on the fence... well I’m afraid he is going to take a substantial hit. Especially when the networks are in a full blown feeding frenzy. Even Fox is glossing over the emails and Hurricane to talk about “The Political News of the Day” The Recording. I am just hoping that this was launched early enough to dissipate. It will definitely be a topic at the debate. How DJT handles it will be telling as to how this thing ends.
This is small potatoes.
Anybody having a conniption over it is either retarded or supports the enemy.
Mockery is everywhere; political as well as religious.
How many world-wide-famous millionaire evangelists managed to succumb to temptation?. In deed as well as word.
GHWs nephew.
Have you seen the documentary “Weiner” - it’s on Netflix. Huma Abedin is pretty much a simpleton and we may be all wrong about her being some brilliant Arab super spy. I think the War Monger Mrs Clinton keeps her around because she feels sorry for her.
That’s what Huma wants you to think.
I read the story, and it really sounds bad. Then, I watched the video, and felt completely different. The talk was just among men being bragadousious, and really in a sane world would be a nothing burger.
Unfortunately, we no longer live in a sane world. Clinton and her MSM allies will use this to great effect.
That’s why the GOP has been such a bunch of hypocrites over the last 25 years. That’s also why this crude clown from New York City kicked all of their asses in the primaries and won the nomination.
I don’t have the money or the fame to walk up to a woman and “grab her” privates without getting arrested. And no... I have said some things in my day but I can quite literally and honestly say, I have never said things like that about a married woman nor single. Never. I understand Trump is of a different upbringing. One of fame and wealth. Maybe he can say that and get away with it. I can not and never could.
I am not so easily dismissive of his character as some are today. Just like I was not dismissive of Billy Clinton.
I was watching CBS News (yes, I know, it’s not helpful to my sense of serenity). After a short segment on the hurricane, they talked about this “bombshell” and helpfully played extracts from the tape. Later they did a story on the accusation of Russia’s trying to “interfere” in the US election by hacking democrat websites. Then a brief statement that Wikileaks had released more Hillary e-mails, including some that were “embarrassing”. But, of course, they did not go into detail and by where they made the story placement, it allows the viewers to safely ignore the story, since it is Russian propaganda.
However, if Hillary or the moderator decide to hit Trump with this, he can respond that Hillary, acting as Bill’s enabler, is guilty of much worse—trying to put a man who used a woman as a humidor for his cigar back in the White House.
Yeah....let’s NOT be appalled about Hillary Clinton, the enabler and protector of a Rapist and Pedophile, who also went after the VICTIMS.
No, have never seen it nor do I have Netflix.
