Discussion: VIDEO: Trump Releases Apology After Lewd Comments About Women

Even though that was a pretty good apology, it means nothing on the eve of the election. Are we to believe he feels that way if there were no election? America is not that stupid.

Would this be the same Billy Bush who donned the mantle of Chief Ryan Lochte Apologist this summer?

Yeah, poor Billy Bush - he was “only” 33 when this tape incident occurred. And, after egging HO on, he then asked the target of the letcher to give HO a hug. Hmm… pimp comes to mind.

Neither visual nor audio works for you? Ana rhetorically asked the panel what else they would need to see to disavow the man. The panelists facial reactions were something SNL could replicate just as they are.

This may be political scandal GOLD as nothing ever seen around the world cos of America’s position in World Politics, but it is an embarrassment for all of us, as Americans. We in this household are appalled how we will be perceived from here on.

I did find the video of Ana Navarro’s panel from several hours ago.
Wow, she had a very powerful condemnation.
I stopped when Trumpette #1 explained that when you are a Christian, you forgive someone who apologizes. No. Apology and penance are NOT just words. There have to be actions, too. There has to be sincerity. “I apologize” is not the same as “abracadabra”.

Not defending Billy Bush in any way. He was disgusting in the video, too. Just saying that his correctly done apology is one reason he’s not taking as much heat as Trump. Oh, and he’s not running for president (thank goodness).

  1. This apology video makes things worse and will stoke the flames of his comments and behaviour.

  2. I am watching MSNBC at this moment (1 AM eastern time), they are live and the tone of the broadcast is very somber. They are taking on not only Trump but the Republican establishment.

  3. This could not have come at a better time, it’s thrown the Trump campaign into deeper chaos than their normal modus operndi, and no matter what he says, Trump goes into the debate Sunday evening feeling under siege. For an unstable narcissist, who doesn’t think he is ever wrong, this rocks his foundation.
    Good for us and ultimately, good for the country.

Really, we deserved to have a TRUE Presidential campaign, we did.

Yes it’s nice, more great than nice, really, to know that Hillary Clinton will win, but dammit. What the hell?.. Honestly… WHAT THE HELL?

Political discourse civilizes us, makes us better, gives us the tools to engage in world politics or trade with other countries, it builds us as a Nation… but this?.. This is a National Embarrassment, regardless of Political Party or even apathy towards politics.

She kept quoting Trump, repeatedly and explicitly using the unbleeped word “pussy”.

At which the two Trump enablers got the vapors.

Blondie (with the agonized expression and gratuitous cross bling) finally cracked.

After excusing Trump repeatedly, she wailed, “Would you please stop using that word!

To which the priceless reply was given:

“Oh, so you’re offended when I say ‘pussy’, but you’re not offended when Trump says ‘pussy’…”

Golden.

So far, you’re the only one who thinks it was a pretty good apology. Most commenters, including some Republicans, feel it didn’t address women at all (“I’m sorry I said that” but nothing about his actions) and he called the whole thing a distraction. That was before he went on to blame Bill Clinton.

We all should have guessed this was going to end up in the gutter somehow in the end, and all this craziness was going to boil down to lewd tabloid subject matter with a tabloid-type figure like Trump.

The National Enquirer would have taken him down a long time ago had it not already endorsed him…I guess he’s friends with the publisher or something there. But really, when one of the few papers that endorses the Republican candidate for President is the fucking National Enquirer…that should be your first clue something’s wrong with this picture. Will the state of US politics today ever be the same after this mess?

Let’s not forget the woman reporter who was grabbed by Lewandowski for wanting to ask Trump a question (and she worked for Breitbart). Trump offered no apology.

Someone on MSNBC said Hil should refuse to shake his hand at the debate. I hope she listens to that advice.

What a time for Ted Cruz to come out endorsing Trump and cold-calling in his name… WOW!

Oh, I guess that takes care of the issue then. Back to talking about Bill Clinton again.

Hillary could probably castrate a certain fellow at the next debate …

And not lose a single clunkertruck vote —

The more they replay the “apology,” the worse it is.

  1. Barely mentioned what he was apologizing for.

  2. No mention of women or apology to women.

  3. No explanation of why “the words” do not truly reflect who Trump was/is.

  4. No explanation of what caused the supposed personal transformation form what he said when he was 60 years old to what he is now at 70 years old.

  5. Tried to diminish its significance by saying it is just a “distraction.”

  6. Tried to get sympathy by talking about sad stories from people on the trail.

  7. Tried to deflect by saying his were just words and the Clintons are worse.

  8. Ended with a threat.
