Remember the Central Park 5? Five teens were convicted of raping a woman in New York’s Central Park in 1989 and were later exonerated when DNA evidence proved another man committed the crime alone. Donald Trump still thinks the five were guilty. I guess because he’s never wrong and people are never coerced or tricked into confessions. > **[Donald Trump Still Thinks The Central Park Five Are Guilty (They Aren't)](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-central-park-five_n_57f7ceafe4b0e655eab3c002)** > > Here we go again. > **[Member of 'Central Park 5' blasts Trump | CNN Politics](https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/06/politics/reality-check-donald-trump-central-park-5/)** > > A member of the "Central Park 5" who was wrongfully convicted in a horrific 1989 New York rape case blasted Donald Trump Friday after the GOP presidential nominee said he believes the group is still guilty. ---

Hard to decide which new Trump scandal to run with, “grab her by the pussy” or continuing to believe that some black kids are guilty after the actual murderer has been found. Or confirmation that Russia is trying to help Trump win the election? ---

He basically confesses to being an adulterer, in addition to the raunchy and disgusting manner he refers to women. And it goes without saying that this will almost certainly end up in attack ads – or is it so disgusting that it could be banned on grounds of being pornographic?

That was extra-creepy. Wow. KellyAnne Conway really needs to walk him through an actual apology. It works like this: “Several years ago, I used some offensive language and spoke in an extremely inappropriate way about women. I deeply regret the embarrassment I’ve caused my wife, whom I love deeply. I apologize for the hurtful language and conversation that occurred a decade ago. It should never have happened.” There. See. No need to say other guys do it too. No need to spin and make it about the rest of us being offended. You, Donald, fucked up. Bigly. Own it, now. Bwahahahahaha! Of course, he won’t. Which is fine. Iowa is looking blue, and Arizona is oh, so, close, on that pretty little polling 538 map. October is shaping up to be fun. I stand by my prediction that everyone has saved their favorite Donald turd to drop in the pool this month. ---

> [@Enginerd](#): > > That was in 2005. He’s a changed man now. They know this, because they really _reaaaaallllllly_ want him to be. I like how he tries to spin it as just locker-room conversation and claims that Bill Clinton said worse things to him while they were playing golf. Even if it’s true that’s still a pretty lame excuse, and why would he want to remind his voters that he’s golfing buds with his opponent’s spouse anyway? ---
