Trump Jr. Defends Father's Lewd Comments As ‘Fact Of Life’
- 8 years ago
On a recent conservative radio program, Donald Trump Jr. said that men making lewd comments about women during conversations are ‘a fact of life.’
Donald Trump Jr. has referred to the lewd comments his father made about women in a 2005 tape as “a fact of life," reports CNN.
The nominee’s son made the remark on Friday during an interview on the conservative 'Dori Monson Show' on KIRO radio.
At one point, Monson brought up his father’s recording from Access Hollywood, and Trump Jr. responded, “Obviously, he’s not happy about that.”
He then went on to say, “We all probably know guys that have had conversations with other guys that go a little bit in that direction...That’s a fact of life. I think he’s able to relate to ordinary Americans because in many cases he is still very much like that. He does do that.”
Trump Jr. tried to turn the negative perception into a positive one by saying about his father, “He speaks from the heart. And that (video) is obviously one that we don’t want to … that was a mistake. He recognizes that. He realizes it. But he’s able to make mistakes because he hasn’t spent his whole life trying to be a politician.”
