Donald Trump looked to punch back after the release of a 2005 video in which he was caught on a hot mic discussing an arrange of degrading topics towards women including potential predatory actions like ‘grab(ing)’ a woman’s ‘pussy’ and getting away with it because he’s a ‘star’.
That counter punch from the GOP nominee was bringing Bill Clinton accusers from the 1990’s and prior to Sunday’s debate and placing them within the hall.

Now these women should certainly have their stories heard and continue to be heard. When you’re dealing with accusations such as these it’s something that should never be brushed aside or dismissed not then or now. However Gloria Borger of CNN may have summed it up best when she said potential rape victims – and I’m paraphrasing a bit – shouldn’t be turned into a ‘side show’ which it would seem is exactly what Donald Trump did here tonight.
