Bill Kristol said the recently released audio of Donald Trump speaking lewdly about women is a “window into his character.” Joining Kirsten Powers on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper Friday, Kristol reacted to the news, first reported by the Washington Post, that a private conversation between Trump and TV host Billy Bush in 2005, recorded by a hot microphone, featured the future GOP nominee bragging about trying to seduce a married woman and boasting that stars like himself could do “whatever they wanted” to women.
“I hope, frankly, it does get some seriously moral and religious people thinking about the character of this man that some of them have decided to support,” said Kristol.
The WEEKLY STANDARD editor also suggested the Hillary Clinton campaign might have been involved in the Post‘s scoop, noting that the news comes just two days before the second presidential debate.
