ABC NEWS–n the midst of one of the most unpredictable presidential elections in history, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton met for the second time in a town hall–style debate at Washington University in St. Louis.
Moderator Anderson Cooper of CNN challenged Trump by bringing up the recording released Friday that showed Trump making derogatory comments about women in 2005.
“I don’t think you understood what was said.”
Trump defended himself, again claiming it was “locker-room banter.”
”You know, with prior Republican nominees, for president, I disagreed with them. Politics, policies, principles. But I never questioned their fitness to serve. Donald Trump is different.”
Clinton repeats a sentiment she has shared before, but this time with new meaning, and elaborated by saying, “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.”
“It’s just words, folks.”
Trump claimed that the words he spoke on the 2005 tape were just that, words, and he compared them to the rhetoric employed by Clinton during her past campaigns for Senate.
