Donald Trump made controversial remarks regarding a teenage rape victim, stating that she bore some responsibility for the assault by dancing. In a resurfaced interview from 1992, Trump defended boxer Mike Tyson after his rape conviction, indicating he thought the verdict was unfair. During a conversation with David Letterman, Trump expressed disbelief that the victim had a role in the incident because she was dancing prior to the assault. The clip has garnered millions of views, intensifying scrutiny on Trump's past statements regarding sexual assault.
"Mike Tyson was greeted at his door at one o'clock in the morning by a woman. ... The woman was dancing at eight o'clock and this guy's in jail for six years. I don't understand it. I think it's wrong."
"What was I thinking? I was thinking that as soon as he gets out, he's gonna fight at my casinos. Yeah, but you can't buy your way through. Of course, I'm only kidding when I say that, folks."
