Donald Trump Junior: That #Pussygate Tape Just Proves My Father Is A Regular Person Like Everybody Else

Politico reports:

Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday dismissed accusations that his father had repeatedly groped women as “probably a typical New York Times smear campaign” and asserted that the Republican nominee’s 2005 comments bragging about sexual assault make him “a human.”

Responding to a Times report on two women who came forward to accuse Donald Trump of unwanted sexual advances, Donald Jr. told the Charlotte radio station WBT that he had “never heard anything dumber in my life.” And echoing his father, who has denied the women’s claims and called the Times report a “fabrication,” he accused the newspaper of libeling Trump for political reasons.

“I’ve had conversations like that with plenty of people where people use language off color. They’re talking, two guys, amongst themselves. I’ve seen it time and time again. I think it makes him a human,” Donald Jr. said. “I think it makes him a normal person, not a political robot. He hasn’t spent his whole life waiting for this moment to run for the presidency.”

He repeated: “I think it means that he’s a human being that he’s a regular person like everyone else. I think that’s what endeared him to the American public.”
