Billy Bush Calls Out Trump For Questioning The Authenticity Of The Access Hollywood Tape: “Of course he said it.”

The infamous 2005 Access Hollywood tape that came out a few weeks before the 2016 election; where at the time Celebrity Apprentice host Donald Trump was heard telling then host of NBC’s “Today Show,” Billy Bush to, “grab them  (women) by the p*ssy,“ was a huge deal. So much so that Bush lost his job after the tape was released.

According to The New York Times, Trump was questioning if the tape was real or not. Trump reportedly said to one Republican senator that he wanted the tape tested to see if it was actually his voice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Well, Bush says otherwise in an op-ed published piece in The New York Times. He states, “Of course he said it. And we laughed along, without a single doubt that this was hypothetical hot air from America’s highest-rated bloviator. Along with Donald Trump and me, there were seven other guys present on the bus at the time, and every single one of us assumed we were listening to a crass standup act. He was performing. Surely, we thought, none of this was real.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This all seems kind of weird because when the tape came out, Trump issued an apology saying,  “I said it. I was wrong. And I apologize.” His campaign staff dismissed the strong language on the recording as “locker-room talk.” The question is if Trump knew he didn’t say that, then why the apology, especially when it was something so grotesque?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Bush also goes on to say that President Trump’s questioning of the tape “has hit a raw nerve in me.” Bush says he needed to write the piece because he thinks, “President Trump is currently indulging in some revisionist history.”
