(Salon) — Prior to the town hall debate Sunday night, Donald Trump held a press conference featuring three women who have accused President Bill Clinton of sexual harassment, assault and other sexual improprieties.
It was a bizarre scene considering that Trump himself has confessed to being a harasser of women in a leaked video from 2005. The press conference became especially absurd when news outlets began relaying all of the horrible things Trump has said about these women in years past.
In a 1998 interview with Chris Matthews, for example, Trump called Paula Jones “a loser.”
Jones, who settled a sexual harassment suit against former president Bill Clinton, was invited by the Trump campaign to sit in the Trump family’s box during the debate.
