"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.

I almost wonder if Trump might have done this himself :-).
Also, Wolf Blitzer looks like a complete moron acting so offended by this. And get a load of the "Warning ... extreme language" crap at the beginning of the video! It's SOOOOOOO obvious they're trying to milk it for all its worth :-)
This one is going to be tough. He said some pretty horrific things about forcing himself on married women.
As far as him possibly releasing it himself? Only if he really wanted to throw his chances out the window. He did not need this. Damage control will be difficult. Especially since his very own people are biblically saying they are, “appalled”.
Agreed. This really sucks.
Who, pray tell, is Billy Bush???!

Not voting for a saint for pastor. I’m voting for a human grenade to take out the establishment.
Give me a break. Guys say stupid bragadocius stuff. It’s in their DNA. I suspect it will get him votes.
He’s the lesser known brother of Jeb and George.
Let's be accurate. He did not try to force himself on a married woman. He tried heavily to convince her to go to bed with him.
Very much unlike a former Arkansas official we all know and hate...
Nobody is accusing Trump of being a rapist. Not a Billy Jeff.
Locker room talk.
11 years ago.
I would still crawl on broken glass to vote for him but this might turn off some women voters and suppress turnout. It might also scare away some low information people or even some democrats that were planning to cross over. I was always afraid something like this would be lurking from his past due to his very public life.
It was 11 years ago and the stuff that BJ Bill Jefferson Clinton did was far worse and he’s still highly regarded.
That is really beside the point. If Trump were a popular two term ex president having survived worse sex scandals in office these types of charges would be water off his back also. It is all in the context and timing.
“Give me a break. Guys say stupid bragadocius stuff. It’s in their DNA. I suspect it will get him votes.”
This, it is what men talk about. No big deal IMHO.
Trump isn’t stealing from the country like Hillary.
People have been killed because of Hillary.
No contest.
No, he’s the son of the brother of the elder George Bush. And he’s a moron pajama boy from the looks of him.
I’ll still vote for him (the alternative remains unthinkable), but this is bad. It will certainly come up at the debate. I wouldn’t be surprised if Martha Ratsass reads his words verbatim for shock value.
You are complaining about lewd behavior and yet you use the word “sucks”.
: )
Just saying.
Let’s not forget, Billy Bush is from THAT Bush Family.
It’s the least he can do (as nephew of GHWB) to keep his credibility in Hollywood.
Jeb! is having his first good weekend in a long, long time.
This happened now, not one month from now, so I think Trump will get past it. He has already apologized. Even still, this is Locker Room Talk, never meant to be heard by the public. Many men think this way, if not talk this way at one time or another.
