"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.

Thanks for the link below. Hannity says Trump will issue a video statement.

This is nothing.
Nobody cares anymore
I'm not condoning this behavior, but you have to admit there's a difference between an obnoxious but at least somewhat "all in good fun" come-on that the woman says "no" to and he backs off and just brags and exaggerates about it to the guys later — versus a violent rape in which the woman's lip is bitten to force her to submit on a bed with the rapist on top of her—then he leaves and says, "You better put some ice on that." Then his wife threatens her. There's a difference.
That said, one of them has identified our $20 TRILLION DEBT and overwhelming immigration and has proposed numerous solutions, while the other one's rape-enabling wife just wants more of the same. So, still no contest. Trump 2016.
So what is the point of that? If you really want to vote for Hillary Clinton go ahead. If you really want to explain to your 13 year old daughter that Hillary Clinton is a better role model than Donald Trump that is OK too. Perhaps you should explain to your daughter that she too could choose to have a husband like Bill Clinton, and do what Hillary has done. Perhaps you could explain to your daughter that lying, cheating, fraud, and having your friends end up in prison is a good way to go through life.
It certainly seems to have worked for Hillary.
Bush’s fault.
It always is.
Those are all very likely to happen and I agree, I can’t think of a good way to answer them. One thing is for sure, Trump and his team had better think of a way to defuse this one, in a way that makes him look sincere and humble, because they are going to be hammering him all night about it. Hillary knew Trump was going to be blindsided by this and she used Machado to set it up. Trump, being the predictable counter puncher he is, fell right into the trap. Many are poo pooing this but the networks and other talking heads are already on overdrive. It’s on every single news broadcast this evening. How Trump manages through it this weekend will determine his fate in November.
As well as the paranoid apparently. I don’t care if you’ve never heard of me. I am a contributor to this site as well as the DJT campaign. I didn’t join to sit here seven years so that I could try and depress the vote “someday”. Grow up. I simply stated that this was very bad, and now that some are actually pulling their endorsements of him, cancelling events with him etc. it’s not looking like his finest hour. Am I still voting for him? Yes. Do I hope he can turn this around? Yes. But he is not in a very good spot here and it would take an absolute zealot, or an ostrich, not to see that.
You are right. We need to be out there on social media and in our lives reminding or informing people what Hillary did to cover up for a rapist. How she threatened the victims.
We need to tweet out the Juanita interview with abc tv. It’s so believable.
I thought he said he was turned down by the married woman?
Not so sure. Trump will be prepared for a counter blast if they do. Note the hint by referencing Bubba in tonights statement.
Dems cry about Trump -> opens floodgates to Hillary’s chief aid being married to a man who reportedly sexted rape fantasies to a 15 yr old.

This situation is going to blow up in dem faces. This gives Trump surrogates the permission to trash Bill and Hillary Clinton about their war on women.
Why? We can’t speak about family values anymore cuz Trump said p@@@y?
This is getting dopey.
Oh what drama! I’m not complaining about the leak or that it’s unfair.
All is fair in love and politics.
Oh well, better get back to digging my bunker.
Spare me. Besides, the married woman turned him down.
So true. Men are pigs. When did this get to be news? LOL!
I still wonder if it’s not all set up to make people “understand” how Hillary could actually win. It’s the way they got W elected. Ross Perot played the Trump role.
Look at who they ran against Obama. Both times! Losers.
Now all the republicans can abandon ship and say “See, you stupid ass voters? We tried to tell you that Trump couldn’t win. Now it’s your fault that we have Hillary and will be forced to let her have anything she wants.” As they all pretend to be shocked that anyone could talk like that. Never mind all the things they KNOW Bill Clinton has said and done.
I just do not believe the elections are on the up and up. It’s hard for me to trust anyone.
Out of all the replies, yours made the most sense. Kudos!
Many others find this Hee-Haw fun. It was the woman’s fault because she was star struck. Shucks, he was just trying to get laid and the women didn’t get hurt. This was all planned by him and released to... help him become President. I’ve been bashed by people who get completely left-wing flipped out if someone calls Palin a poor politician, yet trumps words are A-Okay. Very sad. I don’t think anyone needs to run from conservative to democrat but hell, admitting it doesn’t help his chances is not mutiny.
Nope. He has been caught in a very bad situation on tape due to his lifestyle. He has a hole to dig out of. Not sure how deep but it is a hole.
Speaking of holes, I may join you in digging the bunker.
