President Obama Mocks, Laughs at Republicans Who Disapprove of Donald Trump But Still Endorse
President Barack Obama denounced GOP nominee Donald Trump’s 2005 boasting about forcibly kissing women and groping their genitals.
You don’t have to be a husband or a father to hear what we heard just a few days ago and say, ‘that’s not right.’ You just have to be a decent human being to say, ‘that’s not right,’” Obama said at a rally in Greensboro, N.C., for Hillary Clinton. The White House has also condemned Trump’s comments. “The president found the tapes as repugnant as most Americans did,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One. “And I think there has been a pretty clear statement by people all along the ideological spectrum that those statements constituted s*xual assault.” During a political event on Sunday in Illinois, Obama also slammed Trump’s statement about women as “demeaning" though he did not describe it as s*xual assault.
Obama said Trump’s lewd remarks about women are the latest in a series of comments disqualifying him from becoming his successor. “The guy says stuff no would find tolerable if you were applying to a job at 7/11,” he said of the Republican presidential nominee. “[Trump] doesn’t have the temperament or the judgement or the knowledge or apparently the desire to obtain the knowledge or the basic honesty required to be president. That was true before we heard what he said about women.” Obama pressed voters discouraged by Trump’s campaign to turn to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton instead. “[She] needs to succeed me in this office,” he said. “[She’s] a leader with real plans to blast down barriers and break glass ceilings.
“You can reject fear and resentment and blame and hate and choose the America we know. An America full of courage and ingenuity and generosity. That’s the America I know.” Obama then challenged Republicans offended by Trump to abandon their party’s presidential nominee. “I don’t believe every Republican elected official believes what Donald Trump does,” he said. “‘We find those comments disgusting, but we’re still endorsing him,’” he said they say. “C’mon people. That doesn’t make sense to me.”President Obama made it clear today he doesn’t think most Republicans think the same exact things as Donald Trump, but said there’s a reason they have “this kind of nominee.”
“The fact that now,” Obama said, “you’ve got people saying, ‘Well, we strongly disapprove. We really disagree. We find those comments disgusting, but we’re still endorsing him. We still think he should be president.’ That doesn’t make sense to me!”
He said that people’s sense of Christian forgiveness can only go so far where the presidency is concerned.
“You can’t have it both ways here!” Obama cried. “You can’t repeatedly denounce what is said by someone and then say, ‘But I’m still gonna endorse ’em to be the most powerful person on the planet!'”
He also wondered what the hell took people so long to finally wake up about what kind of man he is, amusedly asking if they thought a 70-year-old man could suddenly change who he is.President Barack Obama said the tape of Donald Trump making lewd and s*xually aggressive comments was "not right" during his first public statement since its release on Friday.
"You don't have to be a husband or a father to hear what we heard just a few days ago and say, 'that's not right.' You just have to be a decent human being to say that's not right," he said during a campaign event in North Carolina. "And if it makes you mad ... you can do something about it North Carolina!" Obama reiterated the reasons why he doesn't think Donald Trump is fit to be president of the United States. "It was true when we heard what he thought about minorities ... Muslims ... made fun of disabled persons or insulted gold star families," he said. Earlier Tuesday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Trump's s*xually aggressive boasts a decade ago were "repugnant."
The caught-on-tape remarks, which have thrown the Republican Party into tumult, amounted to an endorsement of criminal behavior, Earnest said. "The President found the tape as repugnant as most Americans did," Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One on the way to a campaign stop in North Carolina. "I think there's been a pretty clear statement by people all along the ideological spectrum that those statements constituted s*xual assault." "That's an observation that we've heard from a wide variety of sources," he said. "That's why many people have concluded those statements are worthy of sharp condemnation."President Obama RIPS Donald Trump While Campaigning For Hillary Clinton In Greensboro NC 10/11/16
