SEATTLE (KOMO) - Washington State Republican chairman Susan Hutchison is defending Donald Trump after the Washington Post released a new video on Friday, in which the GOP nominee is caught having a lewd conversation about women in 2005.
In an interview with KOMO News Radio, Hutchinson said the comments made 11 years ago were, "repulsive to her" and others, then blamed former President Bill Clinton and the democratic party.
"He [Trump] was a democrat at the time and he was channeling Bill Clinton," said Hutchinson. "The hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton to say, 'this man does not belong in the White House,' when her husband defined this behavior is just absurd."

"Donald Trump is the selection of our voters and the republican party, what happens from here, who knows," said Hutchison. "But what I'm saying is that Donald Trump said those comments when he was a democrat and he is a republican today."

The take home from these comments is:
-Democrats are scum
-Donald became a Republican and no longer is scum
He has been reformed. They are actually blaming the asshat they nominated for President on the opposition party.
This will likely be a meme tomorrow for the think-less class.

I've never heard of him saying anything crude like Trump does.
