Eric Trump on Sunday defended his father after Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, vowed to sue the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.
{mosads}”My father’s a guy who will fight,” Eric Trump said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
“He’ll fight for this country, and he’s always fought for himself.”
Eric Trump said the GOP nominee has had to fight for himself throughout the campaign.
“And he believes in a right and a wrong,” Eric Trump said.
“And when he feels that there’s injustice, I think you should stand up for ourselves.”
Eric Trump said the U.S. wouldn’t have all of the problems it has if the country’s politicians did a “better job standing up for our country.”
“And he stands up for himself. He’s a fighter. That’s who my father is,” Eric Trump said.
“And, quite frankly, he’s a great fighter and he believes in calling out right and wrong.”
Donald Trump on Saturday said he would sue the women who have come forward to level allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
“They’re trying to poison the mind of the American voter. Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,” Donald Trump said during a speech in Gettysburg, Pa.
“Total fabrication. The events never happened — never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.”
