CNN host tells Bill Cosby accuser she could have avoided rape 'if you didn't want to'


CNN's Don Lemon on Tuesday interviewed Joan Tarshis, one of the women who accused Bill Cosby of raping her, and went on to not-so-subtly question why she didn't bite the comedian's penis.
"You know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn't want to," Lemon said.
"Meaning, the using of teeth. As a weapon. Biting," he added. Oof. --Jon Terbush
