A Women’s Rights Group Is Playing Donald Trump’s Access Hollywood Tape on Loop All Day Today in D.C.

It was a year ago that the Washington Post revealed the infamous Access Hollywood tape in which Donald Trump was recorded bragging about groping women’s genitals against their will. (You may recall the news chyron: “Trump in 2005 Audio: ‘You Can Do Anything’ to Women When You’re Famous.”) In honor of the anniversary, a women’s advocacy group called UltraViolet will be projecting the Access Hollywood footage onto a giant screen on Constitution Avenue, between the White House and the National Mall, on a loop from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m today. For those unable to attend, there is also a Facebook live feed.
“This is not normal; this is not politics as usual,” First Lady Michelle Obama said at a rally following the tape’s reveal. (Vogue’s Abby Aguirre noted that Obama’s comments were “addressing the plurality of voters who know that, in fact, it is normal, but who fiercely want it not to be.”)
“It was not so-called ‘locker room talk,’ it was a man bragging about sexually assaulting women. That man may now sit in the Oval Office, but we will not let him—or anyone else—forget the tape or those comments,” UltraViolet cofounder Shaunna Thomas said in a statement. (Trump has denied allegations of sexual assault, issuing a non-apology video that expressed regret “if anyone was offended,” and writing off his comments as “locker room talk.”) A reminder: He got elected anyway. Or as Thomas told The Hill, “The Donald Trump on that tape is the same Donald Trump who sits in the Oval Office every day, aggressively pursuing an anti-woman agenda, including the active dismantling of legal protections for survivors of sexual assault.”
