There have been many women who have come forward. So maybe people don’t always care about that?

Oh, I don’t know. It didn’t really matter in terms of getting him elected, in terms of the women who did vote for him.

Do you understand what I am asking here? You were saying that everyone was saying sexual assault is reprehensible, and also that people don’t care about bragging over sexual assault.

I think he was bragging. No one said he actually did it. I don’t know if any women have come forward and said, “Yes, Trump grabbed my pussy.”

Many, many women have said—

They said he brushed against them at a ballet, or—

No, pushed them against walls—

Of course. I don’t know. What does that say? What do you think?

You came to the defense of Roseanne Barr, saying that she denied, after tweeting racist stuff about Valerie Jarrett, knowing Valerie Jarrett was black.

Did she say that? That she didn’t know she was black?

You say it in the book.

Yeah, right, I quoted her.

It seems like you want to give some people the benefit of the doubt, but not others. Would that be fair?

I would like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

So when she tweets about Valerie Jarrett being the child of the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes”?

Yeah, that’s a tweet. I don’t know. It’s whatever. It’s whatever you think it is and whatever she says she meant by it. It is her word against ours.

It seems like you want to give Roseanne Barr the benefit of the doubt, but not people who think Trump is a racist.

I don’t really feel that. I don’t feel that way, O.K.? It is not what I want to do at all.

This idea keeps coming up that a lot of people support Trump. Let’s grant that that is the case. How should that change how we respond to him?

I don’t think at all. What should we do about that? Change people’s minds? What can you do about a Trump supporter? But they do exist, and I don’t think all of them are crazy, insane racists. Do you?
