Donald Trump is standing by a controversial tweet about sexual assault in the military from 2013.



During NBC News’ “Commander-In-Chief” Forum Wednesday night, the Republican nominee was asked if he stood by the comment.

“Well it is. It is a correct tweet. There are many people think that's absolutely correct,” Trump responded. When asked by moderator Matt Lauer if women should be taken out of the military, Trump said, “Well well--- it's happening...And by the way since then, it's gotten worse. No, not to kick them out but something has to happen.”

1. did lauer ask him exactly WHAT is supposed to happen? isn't this the same donald

who claims he broke the glass ceiling for women in his businesses? the same donald who said that his daughter would never be sexually harassed, she would just leave--same old sexist jackass, and lauer just lets him get away with this bs.

2. That makes me so fucking angry...

Yes, why didn't Lauer ask him exactly what he proposes to do? It's not exactly a trivial issue.

Just like with any details of his immigration plan, or any details about his plan for ISIS, reporters keep letting him get away with deflecting or saying he'll tell us "later". What's the point of even questioning him at all? He'll let voters know after the election, when it's too fucking late.

He's a complete joke of a human being. I've never been more repulsed by a person.

8. yes, reporters keep letting him deflect

And Matt Lauer isn't even a reporter. He's a HOST of a morning show.

NBC should have chosen Joy Reid to moderate the forum.
