After the release of the now infamous Donald Trump/Billy Bush tapes, dozens of politicians tweeted their disgust with Trump's behavior on behalf of their daughters, wives, sisters, and mothers.
As the grandfather of two precious girls, I find that no apology can excuse away Donald Trump's reprehensible comments degrading women.

Hitting on married women? Condoning assault? Such vile degradations demean our wives and daughters and corrupt America's face to the world.

I am disgusted by Mr Trump's words about women: our daughters, sisters and mothers.

As the father of a brand new daughter himself, John Legend had the perfect response:
You don't have to have daughters or granddaughters to find Trump's comments repugnant. It's an odd, unnecessary qualifier.

I didn't just figure out that I shouldn't talk or behave like that when Luna was born.

These guys dated, studied or worked with women and girls their entire lives. Fatherhood isn't their first encounter with opposite sex

But if this was the final straw for you, you have a very high tolerance for straws.

Remember, it's simple: Women are human beings.
