Donald and Eric Trump opine on sexual harassment — and draw fire

Donald Trump and his son Eric have stirred new controversy over the Republican presidential nominee’s views on women, with both men asserting that Ivanka Trump is too strong to allow herself to be a victim of workplace sexual harassment.

The remarks prompted another round of sharp criticism on social media against the candidate, who has made incendiary remarks about women in the past and is having trouble attracting female voters.

In recent weeks, Donald Trump has defended longtime friend Roger Ailes, who was ousted as the chief executive of Fox News after being accused of sexually harassing at least two dozen women. Trump has also questioned the motives of some of the women. In an interview with USA Today, Trump was asked what would happen if his daughter Ivanka were subjected to workplace harassment.

“I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case,” Trump said Monday evening.

when he said:

"I don’t think Ivanka would do that [pose for nude photographs] inside the magazine. Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her."
