In an interview with Megyn Kelly after the second presidential debate Sunday night, Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson tried to shrug off the Republican nominee's remarks about women, adding that she has two brothers and played sports. "This truly was two men who had what they thought was a private conversation, talking about an attractive woman. He calls it locker room banter," Pierson said, referring to Trump's defense of recently released audio from 2005 in which Trump spoke graphically about seducing women.

But Kelly wasn't so convinced, so she got personal. "Do your brothers talk about grabbing women by the genitals?" Kelly asked. Pierson said she didn't know what her brothers talk about "specifically" because they stop talking about it when she walks into the room. "You know your brothers," Kelly said, "do you think that they talk about grabbing women by the genitals and laughing about it and doing whatever they want to them?"
