Scott Baio came to Donald Trumpās defense with sexist remarks in a response to criticism of the GOP presidential nomineeās own documented sexism.
The former āCharles in Chargeā star sat down for an interview on āJustice with Judge Jeanineā and discussed recently leaked footage showing a lewd conversation between Trump and host Billy Bush about women on the set of āAccess Hollywoodā in 2005.
āAnd when youāre a star they let you do it,ā Trump said. āYou can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.ā
Trump brushed the sexual assault brag off as ālocker room talk,ā and Baio agreed and told the millions of women who spoke out against such talk to just āgrow up.ā
āFirst of all, I think 11 years ago Trump was a Democrat, so doesnāt he deserve a pass?ā he asked Fox Newsā Jeanine Pirro. āI like Trump because Trump is not a politician; he talks like a guy. And, ladies out there, this is what guys talk about when youāre not around. So if youāre offended by it, grow up. And by the way, this is what you guys talk about over white wine when you have your brunches, so take it easy with your phony outrage. This is the way the world works. Itās not a big thing.ā
Lovely.
