"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.

“This ain’t good no matter how we try to gild this lily.”
I don’t think “guilding the lilly” means what you think it means.
KansasGirl,
The largest and brightest Republican field in years had their shot at Trump and couldn’t beat him because they couldn’t tap into the American angst. He has fought. Republicans haven’t fought in years.
Now the NeverTrump on FOX is jumping on the audio of Trump saying what he said on the audio.
To me, this is a big nothing burger.
It is like the fishing stories told, the big fish.
It is the normal guy talk I have done.
This doesn’t compare with Bill Clinton’s rapes and abuse of women, but the phony liberal news thinks they can cover Billy with this audio.
All you have to do is actually listen to the audio, and for 90% of Americans there is no there, there. It may even endear Trump to some of the younger guys.
Good luck, Hillary, because the Wikileaks stuff just out now proves you a toadie of big money globalist open borders crowd.
Will Hillary ever apologize for Benghazi? Nope.
Trump at least acknowledges his mistakes. The grandma not so much.
Trump NEEDS to apologize for the locker room talk with some guy on an open mike then pivot immediately to HELLARY’S leaked Wall Street speeches where she told Wall Street she would have to have a public opinion and her private opinion on issues and that her donors should not be concerned !!!!
What I will never understand is why anyone would trust any reporter enough to say stupid things in their presence. It should be common practice to say only what you intend to say for the interview, then shut the hell up.
This is why Alinsky Rule #4 works on some conservatives. We have to look at the bigger picture here. The left has really destroyed the family. To the GREAT detriment of society as a whole. They have been doing it for over 50 years. Trump may be crass, but he is not out to destroy the family. Rather, he is working to enable families to be stronger, something that needs to be done to get the government off our backs and restore a civil society.
Good post. We here at FR are oblivious as to how the ordinary potato head votes.We diagnose every political event that happens into infinity and then beyond while the average voter is wondering what dress her fav celeb will be wearing on her next appearance or will Charlie the quarterback be well enough to start on Sat. Light years away are we from the average voter.
I think the best response is just to repeat:
“I have immediately apologized for the 11 yr old locker room talk.
But has HRC ever admitted, let alone apologized, for harassing and intimidating Bill’s rape victims?
Now let’s focus on the suffering that the Clintons have caused the American People, and what horrendous suffering they are in for if this Crime Family ever again sets foot in the Oval Office!”
I hope he IS THAT BLUNT, because anything less will enable the MSM to ignore it.
Cruz would have been toast (burnt) long ago.
That is probably the only way out. He should apologize and then say “for all those people who say I’ve never apologized for anything, here you go”
No, Billy’s FATHER and GHWB are brothers. Thus, he’s a first cousin to GWB, JEB, Neil et al.
So, is it bad or good what Clinton did?
They had this in their pocket waiting to use it. This tells me that between the Wikileaks transcripts and Friday document dump there is VERY BAD STUFF in there.
I didn’t get that Trump actually did that, just that he engaged in salty talk about it.
When I was much younger, and on the road as a sales rep for my company, I has similar stuff said by purchasing agents to my face, in front of a roomful of men. I just ignored it, seeing it as insecure men showing off to each other.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if we had tapes of some hidden microphone tapes of JFK, Teddy, Lyndon Johnson, and dear old billy jeff?
Guys have talked about the attributes of women, their various parts and curves since time began - My husband was a true gentleman, and would never have engaged in such cheap banter, but there aren’t many like him out there.
Exactly right and there is also this:

Currently, Ted Cruz is trying to pose as an aw-shucks country lawyer, despite his elite connections. But the problem is that those connections are out there for all to see. And one of the most troubling is his wife Heidi, a Goldman Sachs investment manager who served on the task force which wrote the report on Building a North American Community, a direct attack on American independence.
It includes a recommendation to build a European Union style abolition of borders between Mexico and the United States.
Lay the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America. The three governments should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governmentsâ physical control of cross-border traffic, travel, and trade within North America. A long-term goal for a North American border action plan should be joint screening of travelers from third countries at their first point of entry into North America and the elimination of most controls over the temporary movement of these travelers within North America.
