‘I Have Never’ Talked About Women How Trump Did: Tapper Goes Off on Giuliani
Source: Mediaite
Tapper really wasnt having it. He told the heavy-hitting adviser that Trumps apology from Friday night did not feel like an apology. When Giuliani said that Trump was just an entertainment star when the comments were made, Tapper made it known in no uncertain terms that what Trump had said was not just casual guy talk, as some have tried to claim. He used the same words Vice President Joe Biden used yesterday and said that what Trump described was sexual assault.
Hes talking about actions that are sexual assault, pushed Tapper. He was 59 or 60 years old when he said it; this isnt something he said when he was 18 years old. Hes talking about a feeling of entitlement: Because hes a star, he can go up to women and grab them by the vagina and its okay, he wont get in trouble for it. Its really offensive on just a basic human level. Who did he do that to?
Giuliani said that he who hasnt sinned should cast the first stone, which is when Tapper said this:
I will gladly tell you, Mr. Mayor: I have never said that. I have never done that. Im happy to throw a stone. I dont know any man I have been in locker rooms, Ive been a member of a fraternity; I have never heard any man ever brag about being able to maul women because they get away with it. Never.

A much more subdued and beaten Rudy, with the usual smugness wiped off his face, makes the sad rounds to the Sunday shows, this time replacing Gov. Christie Creme's scheduled appearance, and stumbles all over himself.
Things didn't go any better on ABC, where he subbed for Kellyanne:

(36,437 posts)If I heard a friend bragging about sexually assaulting a woman, we wouldn't be friends anymore. Period. I certainly wouldn't hire him.
This really disgraceful attempt to normalize Trump's behavior is incredible. Even the faux outrage crew in the GOP know better than to say "Oh, yeah, sure, this is how all guys talk amongst themselves. 'Grab 'em by the pussy,' sure, sure. Stop being so PC!"
I don't doubt that there's a subset of men who actually do speak in this manner, but the idea that it is a common occurrence is simply ridiculous. If it is common at all, it is common among teenagers and very young dudes. I haven't heard a grown man talking in this manner even minus the outright assault description since I was in my early twenties, and I would certainly raise my eyebrows if somebody my age (early 40's) began speaking to me about "banging chicks" or whatever. Trump was 59 when this tape was recorded. FIFTY-NINE. It's truly beyond belief.

(2,322 posts)...in a pretty horrible way. It casts any heterosexual male as a molester, with no control (or desire to control) their sexual impulses; a predator who views all women as objects for conquest Doesn't Rudy and the others saying "this is normal" or "nothing to see here" or even "This is good. Means he's a manly man!" even realize how bad they're making men look?
And I'm wondering why someone isn't asking Rudy. "So, are you saying you've talked this way and grabbed women this way? That you think your celebrity position entitles you to molest and assault women?" Because that seems to be what he's implying. Men will be men. You included, Rudy?

(2,001 posts)A man will be a man is bullshit, I have NEVER heard, spoke, nor acted like some say most men do. Don't get me wrong, I was at my peak as a young man during the sex,drugs and rock and roll era(70s-80s). I lived in Daytona beach during some pretty wild spring breaks where girls got crazy drunk,, girls were walking around in bikinis all the time. But there was ALWAYS a line a man didn't cross NEVER, NO means fucking NO period. Being put in the category of locker room talk, potty mouth, or Bill Clinton said worse is just wrong on so many levels.

(34,582 posts)talk or brag about sexually assaulting a women. Have we talked about nice tits, ass, legs, etc? Have we said something like wanting to get between her legs or in her pussy? Sure, you bet I have heard it before. But I have never heard talk about assault, which is exactly what tRump was doing.

I hope ghouliani goes down too.. he's as sickening as his master trump.
Good for Tapper stepping up.. I posted a few hours ago that whomever interviews him has to call him & trump out or they're as culpable as they are for perverting down America and propping up a sexual predator.

No wonder Rudy's daughter is supporting Hillary.
