Eric Trump: Hillary leaked the "p*ssy" tape, because that happens to alpha males in entertainment.

Eric Trump says bragging about sexual assault is what happens when you’re an ‘alpha personality’



http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/eric-trump-says-bragging-about-sexual-assault-is-what-happens-when-youre-an-alpha-personality/

During a stop at the Trump campaign’s Denver, Colorado office on Monday, Eric Trump defended his father’s “lewd” conversation with Billy Bush about sexually assaulting women.

The 32-year-old Trump not only excused his father’s conversation with the tired “locker room banter” narrative, he also suggested it’s what happens when two alpha personalities come together, while simultaneously pointing the finger at the Clintons.

Trump alleged that the Clinton campaign leaked the 2005 tape and said, “I think that’s Hillary going low. I think you’ve seen that for a long time,” the Gazette reports. He added, “She’ll dig out dirt on someone from 15 years ago when someone is in entertainment.”

The young Trump shared with the office staff, “I think sometimes when guys are together they get carried away, and sometimes that’s what happens when alpha personalities are in the same presence,” on why his father and Billy Bush shared in such a “lewd” exchange about grabbing women by the “p*ssy” and getting away with it because of status.

she somehow magically knew it was there? It had nothing, NOTHING to do with her and her people.

And, btw, 11 years, not 15, asshat. You were old enough to vote by then and your old man was more than old enough to behave like a grown-up Alpha male civit cats, maybe, are that driven by their gonads, but humans are supposed to be more....human....than that.

I've watched alot of CNN this AM and not once, when this tape has been mentioned, has anyone corrected anyone else about the source of this leak? Is the con's camp trying to say Clinton camp gave this to the WP?

By David A. Fahrenthold October 8

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.

Eric,

We all know you are tied by blood to him. We get that. We also know that your income is tied to him.

You have to realize that you are on a plane that just caught on fire and is trying to land on a ship that just hit an iceberg. You DO see that, right?

Signed,
Nonbubblers

Or at least to share one with Kurt Eichenwald.

You are confusing responsible journalism with attacks on daddy.
