Most establishment media outlets have been burying Donald Trump’s allegations about Bill Clinton’s long history of rapes as deep within their reporting about Sunday’s debate as possible, but the magazine Rolling Stone took it a step further and just obliterated his statement entirely.
Here is what Donald Trump actually said in the debate:
“If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse: mine are words, his was action. This is what he has done to women. There’s never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that’s been so abusive to women, so you can say any way you want to say it, but Bill Clinton was abusive to women. Hillary Clinton attacked those same women and attacked them viciously. Four of them are here tonight.”
Here is what the Rolling Stone article “14 WTF Moments From Off-the-Rails Second Presidential Debate” said about Trump’s statement:
“On Trump’s comments about Bill Clinton being an abuser of women”
Clinton: “When I hear something like that, I am reminded of what my friend, Michelle Obama, advised us all: ‘When they go low, you go high.'”
Trump: “And I’ve gotten to see some of the most vicious commercials I’ve ever seen of Michelle Obama talking about you, Hillary. So, you talk about friend – go back and take a look at those commercials. A race where you lost fair and square. Unlike the Bernie Sanders race, where you won, but not fair and square, in my opinion. All you have to do is take a look at Wikileaks and see what they say about Sanders, and see what Wasserman-Schultz had in mind. Never had a chance. I was so surprised to see him sign on with the devil, but when you talk about apology, I think the one you should really be apologizing for, and this thing you should be apologizing for, are the 33,000 e-mails that you deleted and that you acid-washed, and then the two boxes of e-mails and other things last week taken from an office and are now missing.”
