During Sunday’s debate, Donald Trump dismissed the demeaning and sexually aggressive language he used in the 2005 video as "locker room talk."

Based on a segment from ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ that recently resurrected on ‘The Daily Show,’ the GOP candidate is far less permissive of that category of speech when others employ it. 

During an episode recorded in 2010, Apprentice hopeful Maria Kanellis-Bennett, a professional wrestler, was called out over an argument she had with chef Curtis Stone. 

She alleged he barged into the women’s dressing room and, “…took a crap and left the stench in the room.” 

Trump characterized her recounting of the event as “below the belt.” 

Soon after, he told her, “This is my boardroom. It's not a locker room. Maria, you're fired."
