Second 2016 Presidential Debate: on Families & Children


Donald Trump: I have great respect for women; despite locker-room talk

Q: We received a lot of questions about a video in which you described kissing women without consent, grabbing their genitals. You bragged that you have sexually assaulted women.

TRUMP: No, I didn't say that at all. This was locker room talk. I'm not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people. Yes, I'm very embarrassed by it. And we should get on to much more important things and much bigger things.

Q: Are you saying that what you said on that bus 11 years ago--that you did not actually kiss women without consent or grope women without consent?

TRUMP: I have great respect for women. Nobody has more respect for women than I do.

Q: Have you ever done those things?

TRUMP: No, I have not.

CLINTON: What we all saw and heard was Donald talking about women, what he thinks about women, what he does to women. And he has said that the video doesn't represent who he is. But I think it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is.

Hillary Clinton: The Trump Effect: kids are uneasy and fearful

A lot of people are worried they wouldn't have a place in Trump's America. One woman wrote me about her son [whom] she adopted from Ethiopia when he was a toddler. He's 10 years old now. This is the only country he's ever known. He listened to Trump on TV and said, "will he send me back to Ethiopia if he gets elected?" Children listen to what we say. There's a lot of fear. In fact, teachers and parents are calling it the Trump effect. Bullying is up. A lot of people are feeling uneasy.
