Michelle Obama on Trump talk: We can't just sweep this under the rug
- 8 years ago
Michelle Obama is being lauded for addressing the now infamous "locker room" talk by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. The First Lady told Hillary Clinton supporters at a rally Thursday that Trump's comments in a leaked 2005 videotape have "shaken me to my core." I can't believe I'm saying a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women. It's not something we can just sweep under the rug as just another disturbing footnote in a sad election season, because this was not just a lewd conversation. Now is time for us to stand up and say, enough is enough. What do you think this is doing to our children? In the 2005 video, Trump can be heard describing in graphic terms how he uses his star power to force himself upon women.
