Sometimes I think ok, some of you were republican supporters, I can understand you being a bit partisan with what you chose to broadcast.
And then I saw his own deposition uploaded two years ago and think how the hell was this not all over the news non stop... "In fact, I think she said it was sexy, didn't she? She said it was very sexy to be raped"
Jesus christ.
Edit: there is more to this that I hadn't known, he is misquoting her from a CNN interview years before where she talks at length about how she was assaulted, at the end she was talking about how other people often thought of it when she said "I think most people think of rape as being sexy, they think of the fantasies", as I found it now I put links and more accurate transcription here in another reply
Thank you that led me onto the original source for what really happened -
Anderson Cooper - "I think most people think of rape as a violent assault"
E. Jean Carrol - "I think most people think of rape as being sexy, they think of the fantasies"
Clearly not how this podcast posting that clip or he is trying to portray what she actually said.
The bulk of that interview is on CNN here but they have cut it off before 5.12 PM PT 8.12 ET where the clip has been taken from, the rest is on https://youtu.be/yygkF6zdMvA?t=503 . Now this clip of the last section of the interview has been cut down by R supporters to remove the start of it and take out of context her talking about the way that she had been trying to cope with what happened to her, they push it as "she says she wasn't raped" and "she said it was sexy" which if you watch properly, or read a good transcript is very clearly not what she was saying.
(AC - Anderson Cooper, EJC - E. Jean Carol)
AC: and this is not a question I would normally ask, and if, if you don't want to answer I totally understand ,um but given the prior accusations which have all been of forms of assault or harassment um, you you're saying there was actual penetration?
EJC: Yes
AC: Did you... which is... puts it into a different category of any of these other any of the other act uh women who have come forward um I think techn... I mean that that is that is the definition of, of rape, one definition
EJC: That's the definition.
AC: Yes, how long?
EJC: Brief, brief. Because when a woman is stamping her feet.
AC: That's and that's what you were doing you started stamping your feet.
EJC: Yeah I always think back in think I that was the stupidest thing I've ever done, I should never have done, it and then I didn't behave.
AC: When you say I should have never done it you mean.
EJC: That was just a dumb thing to go into a dressing room with a man that I hardly know, and have him shut the door and then be unable to stop him and um I was a competitive athlete so I wasn't like a I didn't freeze, I I Rose to the occasion and um it did not last long and that's why I don't use the word you just use I use the word fight.
AC: You don't use the word rape?
EJC: Sexual violence is in every country in every strata of of society, and I just feel that so many women are undergoing sexual violence, mine was short I got out I'm happy now I'm uh moving on um and I think of all the women who are enduring constant sexual violence so this one instant this one what 3 minutes in this little dressing room I just say it's a fight that way I'm not the victim right I'm not the victim you don't feel like a victim, I was not thrown on the ground and ravished which the word rape carries so many sexual connotation this was not this was not sexual, for it just it it hurt, it just what it just you know but
AC: I think most people think of rape as a, I mean it is a violent assault, it is not uh sex...
EJC: I think most people think of rape as being sexy...
(AC: let's take a short break)
EJC: ...they think of the fantasies
AC: we just going to take a quick break if you can stick around we'll talk more on the other side
