“Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone — saying that ‘when you’re a star, they let you do it,'” — according to a video obtained by the Washington Post.
The conversation was with Billy Bush of “Access Hollywood” in which Trump describes an attempt to seduce a married woman.
The video is worth watching, but here’s a brief excerpt:
TRUMP: “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”
BUSH: “Whatever you want?”
TRUMP: “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
Trump responded in a statement: “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course – not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”
