Robert De Niro, Cher, George Takei, Ashley Judd, and other celebrities are blasting Donald Trump for his shocking 2005 remarks about women.
As one might expect, celebrities and politicians are expressing shock in the wake of the release of an audio recording of his repulsive 2005 remarks about women.
Trump issued a faux apology late Friday accusing former President Bill Clinton of say things “far worse” and apologizing “IF anyone was offended” by the remarks:
“This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course – not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”[emphasis added]
Noted actress and political activist Ashley Judd, who considered running against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2014, tweeted: “I never heard him ‘apologize’ for talking to me & others about his family member’s spouse, and especially her breasts. THIS IS WHO HE IS.”
