'He was channeling Bill Clinton:' Wash. GOP chair blames Democrats for Trump's comments

Source: KOMO News

Washington State Republican chairman Susan Hutchison is defending Donald Trump after the Washington Post released a new video on Friday, in which the GOP nominee is caught having a lewd conversation about women in 2005.

In an interview with KOMO News Radio on Friday evening, Hutchinson said the comments made 11 years ago were, "repulsive to her" and others, then blamed former President Bill Clinton and the Democratic party.

"He [Trump] was a democrat at the time and he was channeling Bill Clinton," said Hutchinson. "The hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton to say, 'this man does not belong in the White House,' when her husband defined this behavior is just absurd."

"All of this behavior occurred when he [Trump] was a democrat," said Hutchison. "I'm saying that the man was democrat at the time and that Bill Clinton defined this behavior."

And for all Bill's hound dog behavior, I don't remember he was ever accused of grabbing women's crotches and bragging about it.

They can make Trump's mouth open up, and rude, disgusting words come out. Trump has no defense to resist their powerful takeover of his ability to speak.

White House even more?

I mean, if she and Bill can make Trump say and do that....

then why not make the rest of the world leaders, and ISIS do and say what they want?

Defeat of ISIS would happen the day after she took office, wouldn't it?

Hillary for Jedi 2016 !

there has never been any evidence to suggest otherwise

the GOP/conservatives conflate consensual extramarital sex as 'the same' as non-consensual harassment or assault.

in their demented minds, all of it is 'immoral' and thus 'similar' - they make no distinction between the two.

That if "any" Democrat had been recorded spouting this kind of crap, Hutchinson, and every other republican, would be irate as hell, and using it to get rid of said Democrat. This old BS about "Clinton did worse" shows just how sick these people who defend Trump really are.

Trump is the GOP's presidential candidate who admits on tape to committing sexual assault. Own it Republicans! You created the culture in your party that allowed him to be nominated in the first place, you deserve to go down with Trump.
