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.

The video that accompanied the audio comments show Trump exiting a bus and meeting the soap actress they were ogling. Trump greeted her with a cordial hello and gave a small hug and air kiss. The point is he did not lunge for her privates. It was mostly just talk.

This is some thing I said over a decade ago,

If he was 25 when he said it, that's one thing.....But come on, the guy was 60!

You must have missed the part where he said the women “let” him do that stuff, which implies consent. Yes, if you go up to some woman randomly on the street and grab at them, you will get arrested. But, if you are flirting and they are star struck and give signals that they are sexually interested in you, well, that may be a very different scenario, especially if you signal beforehand where your hands are headed.

Trump would already be in trouble over this along ago if he were really “walking up to” women and randomly grabbing at their groins against their will. That’s even if all this wasn’t just about trying to impress laughing Billy Bush, who was admiring tales of his exploits.

There is no limit. I don’t think it’s a hard choice, and you do.

The Clintons literally spell DEATH, for the country, for liberty, for patriots, for Christians. It really does come down to this.

Of course the state of our country is horrendous, but there is absolutely no comparison between who DJT is and who HRC is.

It will be a good life survival lesson for her to learn. It might be helpful to start by having her watch this:

Just imagine how far ahead Ted Cruz would be if he were the nominee.

*Hack* *cough* *spit*.

Cruz would have been behind by 50 points by now.

He is enough of an insufferable prick that even Hillary's voice would be welcome by comparison;

he'd have been excoriated as an anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-abortion, racist (Texas, don't you know) extremist;

and his Harvard Law degree would have meant he'd have picked up none of the minority votes, and none of the blue collar vote, and none of the groundswell of traditionally disaffected voters now boarding the Trump train.

I thought all you Cruz-bots got banned like you deserved months ago.

(Yes, I read your signup date. Lots of people from '98 whom I never heard of seem to come out of the woodwork to play sad-sack defeatist every Presidential election.)

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."

You don't need to tell anybody how you intend to vote, and you certainly don't need to involve your thirteen year old daughter in the ugly world of modern politics. But if she is mature for her age, and able to deal with difficult topics, you should explain to her that adult men enjoy sex, and sometimes talk about it in crude ways. Someone recording that kind of conversation, and making it public is a terrible form of gossip. There are two lessons for a young person there - watch what you say, and don't gossip.

And then you should explain to her that voting for Trump is way better than voting for Hillary Clinton, and that Hillary Clinton laughed about helping a man who raped a twelve year old girl escape the punishment he deserved.

I think reading about the details of that crime is probably a bit much for a thirteen year old, but you should read the whole story of Kathy Shelton's ordeal.

"During the case, Clinton accused the 12-year-old of 'seek[ing] out older men' and 'engag[ing] in fantasizing' in court affidavits, and later laughed while discussing aspects of the case in a recently-unearthed audiotape from the 1980s."

Read the whole story here

And then ask yourself a question. Could I ever vote for somebody who did what Hillary Clinton did to another little girl my daughter's age?

To bad the GOP chose to nominate the one candidate who Hillary could beat.

*Ozone watch*.

He’s a Bush cousin who is the host of “Access Hollywood”. He does celebrity interviews.
Like the one he was doing with Trump 11 years ago.

Never heard of you, either.

This thread is bringing out the paid disruptors apparently.

This happened years before he thought about running for office, so, unlike career politicians, he wasn’t covering everything up.

Dana and Megyn are just upset that they don’t have the ghost of a chance of Trump hitting on them.

He has said that he was a happy private citizen and so did not cover-up everything like career politicians do.1

That old story doesn't hold water. It's a wet dream, not reality. I teach facts, not wishful thinking : http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-freed-child-rapist-laughed-about-it/
