President Obama answered a question about Bill Cosby on Wednesday and basically said that Cosby is a rapist in the most presidential way possible.
“If you give a woman — or a man for that matter — a drug and have sex with that person, that’s rape, and I think this country, any civilized country, should have no tolerance for rape.”
Boom.
If you haven’t been keeping up, Cosby admitted in a 2005 legal deposition that he obtained prescriptions of a powerful sedative to give to women he wanted to have sex with, according to documents released last week in a Pennsylvania court.
President Obama’s comments come after the suggestion that Cosby’s Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he was awarded in 2002, should be revoked in light of the recent revelation.
Watch the President speak on it all below.
