>"Grab them by the pussy"

Total misquote.

The actual was "They let you grab their pussy." Emphasis on the "THEY LET".

In other words, there was consent already.




I agree that one could interpret the quote in context that way. I also appreciate the effort to correct misinformation and cherry-picked quotes.

In this case, the gp quote is accurate, though arguably cherry-picked or purposely misinterpreted.

Trump: And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Bush: Whatever you want.

Trump: Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.

I've trimmed the quote in the interest of space, while leaving enough to attempt to show the context. If you'd like to add more context, I have no problem with that. I chose the sources I did as they were the first that came up in the search results when looking for the full transcript.
