A leaked video clip of American Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, bragging in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have s*x with women in a conversation has gone viral.
Some of Hollywood’s most recognizable names are taking to Twitter to share their thoughts in the wake of an extremely graphic conversation between U.S presidential candidate, Donald Trump, Billy Bush and several others leaking online.
The Washington Post obtained the footage, which shows the then-Access Hollywood, now-Today show co-host chatting with the Republican presidential nominee on the set of ‘Days of Our Lives’ and using extremely vulgar language while discussing women.
The two men were talking on hot microphones before they taped a segment about Trump’s appearance on the famous soap opera.
Trump is overheard telling Bush and several others about a failed attempt to seduce an unnamed woman, saying, “I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f–k her. She was married.”
“And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.'”
The businessman turned politician then told the group, “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”
A voice that sounds like Bush’s then says, “Whatever you want.” Trump replies, “Grab them by the p—y, you can do anything.”
After the video appeared online Friday afternoon, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton wrote on Twitter: “This is horrific. We cannot allow this man to become president.” Her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.), told reporters,“It makes me sick to my stomach,” while campaigning in Las Vegas.
Trump was also criticized by members of his own party. House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, who said he is “sickened”by Trump’s comments, said the Republican presidential candidate will no longer appear with him at a campaign event in Wisconsin on Saturday.
At present time, Bush has yet to release a statement on his Facebook page. While it was reported earlier that he had deleted his Twitter page in the wake of today’s leak, he appears to have deleted the account over the summer amid the Ryan Lochte Olympics scandal.
Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has released a video statement saying comments from the viral 2005 video in which he bragged about groping women “don’t reflect” who he is. Watch below;
