美国有线新闻 CNN 美国总统大选第二轮电视辩论 特朗普秽语视频成焦点

 

AZUZ: OK. Last night was round two of three. At Washington University, in St. Louis, Missouri, the Democratic and Republican nominees¹ for U.S. president had their second head to head debate.

The moderators first planned questions centered on a controversy² that surfaced Friday. It involved a tape from 2005 when a microphone that was turned on recorded part of a conversation in which Donald Trump³ talked about how he behaved inappropriately toward women on multiple occasions.

On Saturday, the candidate apologized, admitting he's, quote, "said some foolish things". Trump then accused Hillary Clinton of inappropriate actions.

DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: This was locker⁴ room talk. I'm not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people. Certainly, I'm not proud of it.

ANDERSON COOPER, DEBATE MODERATOR: So, Mr. Trump —

TRUMP: And we should get on to much more important things and much bigger things.

HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: He has said that the video doesn't represent who he is. But I think it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is.
