Howard Stern has come out and declared that he will not be playing any of the old tapes of Donald Trump‘s appearances on his radio show in which Trump made inflammatory sexist statements. This in spite of the fact that so many clips of Trump dumping on women on Stern’s show have already been played over and over again in the media.
This should not surprise anyone who is familiar with the fact that Stern himself is fond of speaking in a gross and demeaning way about women in general and especially about those who he feels are fat and unattractive.

Mr. Stern has also been a big fan of Donald Trump’s for years now and a supporter of his bid for the Presidency. If only in jest, Stern has repeatedly stated that he hopes Trump will win and then invite him to stay as a guest in The White House while also ending FCC censorship of radio broadcasts.
The exact reason he gave , however, is that Howard feels it would constitute a betrayal of a personal friend. Stern said on his radio show on Sirius-XM on Monday, “These conversations that I had with Donald Trump weren’t done in private like the Billy Bush tapes. This was on the radio. Why don’t I play all the tapes? I have to tell you why: I feel Donald Trump did the show in an effort to be entertaining and have fun with us, and I feel like it would be a betrayal to any of our guests if I sat there and played them now where people are attacking him.”

And Stern added, “I knew I had a guy who loved to talk about sex. I had a guy who loved to evaluate women on a scale of 1-10. These are avenues I went down because I knew it would entertain the audience.”

At the same time, however, Mr. Stern has chosen not to back up Donald Trump’s claim that the worst of his misogynistic comments were merely “locker room talk, ” whatever the hell that is.
Also on Monday’s show Howard Stern said, “All the times I’ve been around guys – believe me, when I’m around guys, 85 percent of the time you’re talking about p*ssy – but I’ve never been in the room where someone says ‘grab them by the p*ssy’.”
According to Howard this would be going to far and an invasion of someone’s space.
“No one has sort of advocated that step where you go, ‘Hey, I’m going to invade someone’s space.’” This must be Stern’s way of acknowledging that Trump’s comments constituted an intent on the Republican Presidential candidates part to commit acts of sexual assault.
Howard does have a sensitive side as he has helped more than 300 kittens over the years.

And in spite of his reputation, female celebrities still flock to his show such as Jewish ones like Sarah Jessica Parker:

While it is true that Howard Stern has mellowed over the year, Donald Trump certainly has not.
