‘Law and Order: SVU’ to air Trump-inspired episode

Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” on Thursday released a teaser for an upcoming episode based on the lewd video scandal currently consuming Donald Trump’s campaign.

In the teaser for the Oct. 27 episode, “Veep” star Gary Cole plays a politician whose campaign is put in jeopardy when several women lob some damning accusations his way.

He even has a line in the teaser that calls back to Trump’s crude comments about women in that 2005 video.

“I’m a handsome, charming millionaire, and women throw themselves at me,” Cole’s character says.

In the video, Trump bragged about the way his star power apparently allowed him to do whatever he wanted to women, including groping them in ways that many have said amounts to sexual assault.

Since the Washington Post released that video, a few women have come forward with stories about Trump acting inappropriately or outright assaulting them. Trump is currently drafting a lawsuit against the New York Times in response to that publication’s reporting about his accusers.
