RantCrush Top 5: October 18, 2016

In an interview with CNN on Monday, Melania Trump defended her husband’s “boy talk” in the 2005 audio recording and said Billy Bush egged him on.

“This was all organized from the opposition. And with the details… did they ever check the background of these women? They don’t have any facts,” she told Anderson Cooper.

Melania Trump defends Donald the groper by likening him to a teenager. Which is, of course, a ringing endorsment of his presidential skills.

According to Melania, the recording did not represent who Trump is and she has never heard him say anything inappropriate like he did on the recording. She also denied having ever met journalist Natasha Stoynoff who wrote the piece in People magazine about Trump’s unwanted advances. According to her that was “another thing like people come out saying lies and not true stuff.”

Melania also said Trump is raw and tells it like it is, and sometimes behaves like an overgrown boy. She also mentioned that maybe he didn’t know the microphone was turned on. AS IF that should matter.
