Trump brushes off controversy as ‘locker room talk’

“What we all saw and heard on Friday was Donald talking about women, what he thinks about women and what he does to women. … It’s clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is.”

Clinton then went on to run down a laundry list of Trump’s most controversial comments throughout the campaign, connecting those comments to the lewd remarks in the video.

“It’s not only women and it’s not only this video that raises questions about his fitness to be president, because he has also targeted immigrants, African-Americans, Latinos, people with disabilities, Muslims,” she said.

Trump followed up by arguing that his comments were “only words,” chiding Clinton for telling New Yorkers she would bring back jobs to the state and failing. And he went on to attack Clinton for the sexual abuse allegations against her husband, former President Bill Clinton, as well as for defending a man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl when she worked as a lawyer. 

Trump invited three of the women who have accused Clinton of sexual harassment or abuse to sit in the debate hall, as well as the woman whose accused rapist Hillary Clinton defended.
