Philly political consultant Ken Smukler takes on Donald Trump's characterization of "locker room banter" following the second presidential debate

Throughout this election season, we’ve been bringing you the political musings of Philly political consultant Ken Smukler from his guest spots on The Tom Joyner Morning Show, a nationally syndicated radio show with 8 million listeners in 105 markets that airs locally on Old School 100.3. Whether he’s wondering who put Hillary Clinton in a “yellow Kimono” or littering his soliloquies with references to the feud between Meek Mill and Drake, Smukler morphs from suburban dad into hip-hop aficionado with a penchant for saying just what we’ve all been thinking.

In this edition following last night’s debate, Smukler takes on Trump’s characterization of “locker room banter” when asked about the private tape that found him boasting of sexual assault: “Memo to The Donald,” Smukler says. “Calling this locker room banter would be correct if the locker room to which you are referring is the locker room of the New York Neanderthals of the American Sexual Predator League.”
