Breaking: Video Just Surfaced Of Trump Defending Rapist Teachers



By Grant Stern
October 13, 2016

New video just surfaced of Republican nominee Donald Trump giving an interview to entertainment TV program “EXTRA” in 2012 in which he excused and defended female teachers who rape underage students. Even EXTRA’s interviewer was shocked by the reality TV star’s casual, yet firm dismissal of what are plainly sex crimes:

TRUMP: “Well, I don’t think the male students have been hurt by it. In fact, they’re going around bragging about it as I understand it.”

EXTRA: “Wow!”

TRUMP: “I don’t see a lot of damage done. But it’s a very unusual situation. I would say her husband cannot be happy.”

He can only think of words which center around himself.

Five-year-old behavior.

I'm wondering how his campaign will defend this one.

One can commit statutory rape against both males and female minors. Trump only thinks that female minors need to be protected
