(3,904 posts)this reminds me a lot of the Access Hollywood tape, when the trump campaign tried to tell everyone this was just "locker room talk". Recall at the time lots of men spoke out in protest of that statement, many of them professional athletes and such. I'm male, and have been in more than my share of locker rooms over the years. Some crude talk sometimes? Yes. But nothing like the Access Hollywood tape. In fact if anyone were to say anything like trump said, there would be recoil from the rest of the men in the locker room, and a get the fuck away from me reaction.
This "boys will be boys" type defense, which Hatch promoted DURING THE SENATE HEARING (this happened in HIGH SCHOOL, he said), is the Access Hollywood locker room talk defense sequel.
