IN THE FACE OF ERIC TRUMP.
LARA TRUMP, WHO IS ALSO A SENIOR
ADVISOR TO THE TRUMP 2020
CAMPAIGN.
LARA, THE FIRST THING I ASKED
YOU WAS, WERE YOU THERE?
>> FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT
BECAUSE AS ANY PREGNANT WOMAN
WILL TELL YOU, HORMONES WERE
RAGING AND I WOULD'VE HAD A
DIFFERENT REACTION THAN MY
HUSBAND, BUT I GIVE HIM SO MUCH
CREDIT BECAUSE UNPROVOKED, THIS
WOMAN CAME UP TO HIM, LITERALLY
SPIT IN HIS FACE AND HAD SOME
REALLY NASTY THINGS TO SAY TO
HIM.
HE PLAYED IT SO CALM AND COOL,
DID NOT PRESS CHARGES AGAINST
THIS WOMAN, WHICH I THINK A LOT
OF PEOPLE WOULD'VE DONE.
BUT IT WOULD'VE BEEN VERY HARD
FOR ME TO REMAIN CALM IN THAT
SITUATION.
>> Martha: DID HE CALL YOU
RIGHT AFTER AND SAY WHAT
HAPPENED?
>> HE WAS SHOCKED BUT HE SAID
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF THE
CHICAGO PD DID, THEY WERE
PROFESSIONAL, SAID THE MAYOR WAS
GREAT AS WELL, CALLED HIM.
BUT HONESTLY, YOU SAW THERE,
MAXINE WATERS TELLING PEOPLE TO
GET UP IN THEIR FACES, AND ERIC
PORTER, SAYING KICK THEM WHEN
THEY'RE DOWN.
THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL FOR THE
LEFT AND IT'S ACCEPTABLE, FOR
SOME REASON, WHENEVER YOU ARE
FIGHTING ON THE SIDE OF THE
DEMOCRATS TO DO THINGS LIKE
THIS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE THIS EVER
HAPPENING TO CHELSEA CLINTON,
SASHA AND MALIA OBAMA.
THIS IS DISGUSTING.
>> Martha: AND IT SHOULDN'T
HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
THIS IS NOT CIVILIZED BEHAVIOR
NO MATTER WHICH SIDE YOU ARE ON.
THIS IS A STATEMENT, IT SAYS
THAT THIS DEGRADING ACT LOWERS
THE TENOR OF OUR DEBATE, TO SOME
IT MIGHT FEEL GOOD BUT IT IS
UNLIKELY TO SERVE ANY LARGER
PURPOSE.
WE HOPE THIS INCIDENT CAN
ILLUMINATE THE CERTAIN ABSURDITY
OF THE DISCOURSE IN OUR POLITICS
AS FELLOW AMERICANS AND
CITIZENS, WE SHOULD ALL AIM
HIGHER.
>> THAT IS 100% ACCURATE, AND
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A REPORT
LIKE THIS THAT YOU'VE SEEN
COMING FROM ANYBODY IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
SADLY, IT COMES FROM THE OTHER
SIDE.
BUT WE HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN
THIS.
THIS IS CRAZY, IT'S DISGUSTING
BUT AGAIN, IF YOU LIKE MY
HUSBAND HANDLE DATA SO
APPROPRIATELY.
>> Martha: VERY NICE AND NOT
PRESS CHARGES.
MAY BE BETTER TO DROP IT AND
MOVE ON.
THIS WOMAN IS ACCUSING THE
PRESIDENT OF RATING HER IN A
DRESSING
ROOM AT BERGDORF, BUT SHE HAD
SORT OF A VERY ODD, I
WATCHED SEVERAL OF THE
INTERVIEWS THAT SHE DID.
HER TAKE ON RAPE IS NOT WHAT
ANYONE ELSE WOULD CHARACTERIZE.
HERE SHE IS WITH ANDERSON
COOPER.
REACT TO THIS.
>> THE WORD RAPE CARRIES SO MANY
CONNOTATIONS.
THIS WAS NOT SEXUAL.
IT HURT.
>> I THINK MOST PEOPLE THINK OF
RAPE IS A VIOLENT ASSAULT.
>> I THINK MOST PEOPLE THINK OF
RAPE AS BEING SEXY, FANTASIES.
>> WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A QUICK
BREAK.
>> YOU ARE FASCINATING TO TALK
TO.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO --
>> Martha: THERE ARE A LOT OF
US I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO
THAT BUT IT IS CAMPAIGN SEASON
AGAIN SO ALL THE PEOPLE LIKE
THIS COME OUT CRAZY STORIES
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.
YOU WOULD'VE THOUGHT IF THIS WAS
A LEGITIMATE CLAIM WE WOULD'VE
HEARD ABOUT IT BEFORE NOW BUT
HERE SHE IS ON ANDERSON COOPER
AND I DON'T KNOW THE ANDERSON
KNEW WHAT TO MAKE OF ABOUT THAT.
I THINK I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE
NEXT COMMERCIAL BREAK HERE.
I MEAN, SHE'S GOT A BOOK COMING
OUT, A WHOLE BUNCH OF --
>> OF COURSE, THEY ALL HAVE
BOOKS COMING OUT.
>> Martha: QUICKLY, WE ARE
SWITCHING FROM VERY DIFFERENT
TOPICS HERE.
THIS IS AT THE FACE OF FREEDOM
EVENT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WOMEN
VOTERS ARE FAITHFUL, HERE IS
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> I ACTUALLY THINK THAT WE HAVE
THE ENERGY, FOR INSTANCE, IN THE
AUDIENCE THE OTHER NIGHT, SO
MANY WOMEN FOR TRUMP, SO MANY.
THEY DID THE SAME THING IN 2016.
WOMEN, I'M NOT VOTING FOR TRUMP,
I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE.
WE GOT A TREMENDOUS -- I MEAN,
THE WOMEN CAME OUT, IT WAS
INCREDIBLE WHAT HAPPENED AGAINST
HILLARY CLINTON.
>> Martha: I HAVE ASKED YOU
THIS SEVERAL TIMES, MIDTERMS,
WOMEN STAYED HOME IN SOME CASES.
THE SUBURBAN VOTE, AND THERE WAS
A PIECE IN
"THE WALL STREET JOURNAL" SAYING
YOU'VE GOT TO WIN OVER THESE
VOTERS IN THE MIDDLE, THE BASE
IS SOLID, THE VOTERS IN THE
MIDDLE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> A LOT OF THEM ARE WOMEN AND I
CAN TELL YOU THE EVENT WE HAD
LAST TUESDAY NIGHT IN ORLANDO
WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING -- I THOUGHT
THE ENTHUSIASM IN 2016 WAS
INCREDIBLE.
MARTHA, FOR THIS PRESIDENT,
THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE I THOUGHT
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOME,
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEA
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMED
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEI
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEA
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEW
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEY
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMES
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEY
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEI
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOME,
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEW
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEM
IN THAT ARENA, AND SO MANY WOMEN
ARE GOING TO COME OUT AND VOTE
FOR THIS PRESIDENT BECAUSE THEIR
LIFE IS BETTER AND THEY SEE LIFE
BETTER FOR THEIR KIDS DOWN THE
ROAD, AND THEIR FAMILY CAN
AFFORD MORE THINGS NOW.
I JUST HAVE NEVER BELIEVED THE
POLLS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS
PRESIDENT, AND I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN
THAT WOMEN ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
HE DEFINITELY HAS ENTHUSIASM ON
