Trump: "Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/07/leaked-tape-captures-trump-in-crude-rant-with-tv-host.html

Trump subsequently issued an apology that simultaneously took aim at his rival's husband.

“This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago," Trump said. "Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”

The remarks were met with widespread condemnation. Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus immediately issued a statement saying, "No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever.”

Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was "beside himself" and Pence's wife was furious, a person familiar with their thinking told the Associated Press. In public, Pence ignored questions shouted by reporters in Rossford, Ohio, where he was campaigning with his daughter.

"Joe Doe did it too, and he did it worse than me!" Most three-year-olds who do that stop doing that by the time they reach the age of five or six, but not Donald Trump. He seems to have the mental age of a three-year-old.
