It is not just the comment. It is when the young Bush

(any relations to the other Bushes, by the way?) told their hostess to "give Donald a hug."

Why?

I once had a boss, was one of the owner and the president of the company, in the early 80s, who once brought his young son - 10, I think - and "playfully" suggested that the young, attractive receptionist, steps outside so his son could feel what it was to hug a woman. Or something like that.

The creepiness of that moment in the context of the conversation immediately before the encounter is disgusting.

Billy Bush comes off just as badly as Trump does in my opinion.

Disgusting that he was helping Trump cop a feel while putting O'Dell in the awkward situation of feeling she had to comply.

Also, yes, Billy Bush is Jeb and George W Bush's cousin:

O'Dell was Bush's co-host at the time on Access Hollywood but never appears in the video. She has since apparently moved on to ET and has not commented AFAIK on this whole issue.

. . . He is the son of Jonathan Bush, who is the younger brother of George H.W. Bush. Thus he is the first cousin of George W. Bush.

I have mixed feelings about Billy Bush's role in all of this. Yes, he was yukking it up right along with Trump. On the other hand, releasing this tape might just be the most patriotic thing any member of the Bush family has ever done!
