Fashion industry to honor Steinem, Richards
Feminist icon and Planned Parenthood president to be honored at its annual awards ceremony.
things Trump was saying on the old tape.
“It hit really hard, and I stopped for a second, and I said, ‘I have no answer for that that’s any good. I am really sorry,” Bush said.
Bush, who had recently been hired as co-host of the “Today” show, lost his job. He said he went through a lot of soul searching and spent seven days on a spiritual retreat with no phones. He reads, meditates and is doing yoga.
“I have changed in a way that I think will make me better at my job,” Bush said. “I’ve come out of this with a deeper understanding of how women can connect to the feeling of having to fight extra hard for an even playing field.”
The 2005 video shows Trump, who was the star of “The Apprentice,” riding on an “Access Hollywood” bus with then-host Bush. At one point, Trump describes how women respond to lewd advances from celebrities. “When you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
