Presidential candidate Donald Trump is relying on supporters to fight his battles. Trump National Spokesperson Katrina Pierson defended the hopeful next president amid growing negative coverage.

Rather than embrace the L’s Trump has created, Pierson targeted the entertainment industry and hip-hop for fueling rape culture.

“I do quite find it rich that we have Democrats and the left talking about rape culture when they’re the ones backed fully by Hollywood. This rape culture is purported by none other than the entertainment industry, none other than hip-hop music which you can hear on local radio stations as well as network television which actually pushes this. This is a bigger issue here. We are talking about a society who puts women on a pedestal because of a sex tape. And then we have the audacity to claim that all of sudden there’s a moral compass. This is something that Mr. Trump said, who he thought was in private, that came to light for crying out loud as he was a part of that hip-hop celebrity culture.” (CNN)

A 1992 clip resurfaced this week and features 46-year-old Trump making creepy questions about dating a kid when she grows up.

While filming a holiday special at Trump Tower for Entertainment Tonight in 1992, the Republican nominee can be heard addressing a young girl in front of the escalator, asking her if she’s going up. When she responds in the affirmative, Trump remarks, “I’m going to be dating her in ten years. Can you believe it?”

This week, NBA superstar LeBron James reacted to Trump’s recent leaked crude remarks about women.

“What’s locker room talk to me? It’s not what that guy said. We don’t disrespect women in no shape or fashion in our locker room. That never comes up. I’ve got a mother-in-law, a wife, a mom and a daughter and those types of conversations just don’t go on in our locker room. What goes on in our locker room is sporting events that happened the night before, about family, about strategies we might have that night, about a highlight that may have happened if it was a homerun at the bottom of the ninth or if it was an alley-oop dunk from a player the night before. That’s what happens in our locker room. What that guy was saying, I don’t know what that is. That’s trash talk.”

Rap veteran Uncle Luke explained his issues with Trump’s now-infamous leaked audio.

“The difference between me and Trump and the music that I’ve done is, we grew up by the vagina, we don’t take it. He’s talking about rape and we’re talking about, ‘Hey, we want some p. Face down, a** up.’ We’re talking about things that are so great about a sexual act as opposed to, ‘Hey, I’m going to grab her by the p.’ … That’s really violating a woman – that’s the big difference and that’s why I don’t support those words and at the same time, these same people that did come after me – that’s why I have a real serious problem with these same people defending him. … One time, me, Mike Tyson and Eddie Murphy, we were invited to [Trump’s] mansion in West Palm Beach one time and he had all these women running around. It was so much going on to the point that I couldn’t take what was going in that room and I left – It was some wild stuff going on. This guy is not fit to be a president.” (“Kevin Klein Live”)
