In a commercial called “Speak,” a pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC claims Donald Trump said of women, “And you can tell them to go (bleep) themselves.”
Priorities USA, in an anti-Trump ad, quotes the candidate as saying, “And you can tell them to go (bleep) themselves.” It comes after multiple comments critical of women.
The super PAC says the sound clip wasn’t meant to be taken as a reference to women.
That, as Trump might say, is a huuuuuuuge stretch.
The ad is all about women.
It features seven women and two men, only one of whom has a speaking role. All of the mouthed phrases — except the one in question — clearly attack, criticize or make disturbing references to women.
The ad offers no indication that the “f themselves” line refers to anything but women. In fact, it refers to businesses that left the United States.
The statement in the ad represents a ridiculous misrepresentation of what Trump said. We rate it Pants on Fire!
