would not want caught in a hot mike moment, wolf. it s pretty bad stuff. jim, getting back to that one sentence he said, you look at her. referring to the people magazine reporter who says she felt sexual assaulted, if you will, by donald trump. you look at her. it s getting a lot of buzz out there because it suggests that maybe, if you look at her, she might not be, in his words, attractive enough for him to make such a move. what s been the reaction from the trump campaign to that? reporter: well, wolf, basically they re saying that all of these allegations that have surfaced in the last 24 hours are false, that they are fiction. and that really flies in the face of what trump s campaign manager kellyanne conway has said herself that the allegations, the accusations and stories of women alleged sexual assault and abuse should be believed. they say that should be the standard applied to former president bill clinton, but they are not applying that same standard to themselves or
in the polls and pretty similar profile pattern behavior, l.a. times had found a bunch of women who had said he had groped, sexual assaulted, inappropriately touched them, also in a sort of similar situation, he s a star, he can do what he wants. he very famously basically didn t deny it. rather than sort of double down, he basically said, yeah, i have done a lot of stuff on movie sets and where there s smoke there s fire. that essentially worked for him. donald trump got up in front of 6 million people and said absolutely not. this is a guy who s made the case over and over again, he s said he s done these things, they re on tape, you can t just go back because you re in the trump realty distortion field that things he said didn t happen. he told howard stern these things, he said these things on the billy bush tape. he said these things over and over again about the sort of behavior he exhibits with women. you can t just redact them now and say that s not what he
single one of these things. that s right. he is his own corroborating witness, he can be a witness against himself if there was ever a trial because he himself has accused himself of these things. it is ridiculous for him to deny it. because why would he say he did it whchb he didn t do it. and it lines up with what every single woman says, when this many people of this many different back grounds are accusing you of the same thing, they can t all be wrong. i thought about a few analogs here, and one was arnold schwarzenegger, and you remember, this was about a week before the election in california colorado, he was up in the polls and pretty similar profile pattern behavior, l.a. times had found a bunch of women who had said he had groped, sexual assaulted, inappropriately touched them, also in a sort of similar situation, he s a star, he can
donald trump because he was standing by. that s not credible to me as a woman as somebody who has been sexual assaulted, i m livid that the new york times is trivializing sexual assault this way. it seems the context is that donald trump was caught on tape saying that he kisses women without their consent, that he grabs them without their consent, he grabs them by their genitals. he said they let you do it, he didn t say they hypothetically would let you do it. so the contention is that it was entirely hypothetical there, and all the women who have come forward are not credible and making it up. you make it sound like 20, this isn t bill clinton we are talking about. oh, it s only one person s word, or joy behar, suddenly when the accusation is against donald trump there is and i understand why you guys
felt somebody grab her and pinch her butt and she thinks it was donald trump because he was standing by. that s not credible to me as a woman as somebody who has been sexual assaulted, i m livid that the new york times is trivializing sexual assault this way. it seems the context is that donald trump was caught on tape saying that he kisses women without their consent, that he grabs them without their consent, he grabs them by their genitals. he said they let you do it, he didn t say they hypothetically would let you do it. so the contention is that it was entirely hypothetical there, and all the women who have come forward are not credible and making it up. you make it sound like 20, this isn t bill clinton we are talking about.
