The Young Turks (TYT) reporter Jordan Chariton interviewed a Donald Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn today, and he had some unbelievable statements.

Jordan Chariton is an excellent reporter for The Young Turks. He has caught many people -- from Hillary Clinton supporters to Donald Trump advisors -- in untenable situations and logical inconsistencies.

Today, he interviewed Donald Trump's adviser Boris Epshteyn, and Epshteyn had this to say about Trump's sexual assault talk:

The Clinton camp is obviously gonna continuing [sic] try to push this narrative and try to fool the American people into -- you know -- a shiny object that has the word, you know, some fun words in it, but that's not we're focused on.

Here's the clip:

Epshteyn is a long time Republican strategist. Here's an excerpt from his bio:

Boris Epshteyn is a Republican political strategist, investment banker and finance attorney currently living in New York City. Mr. Epshteyn summarizes his political views in 6 words: Small Government, Low Taxes and National Security. ... He has been involved in researching, writing and publishing numerous scholarly articles with the Georgetown Journal of International Law. Mr. Epshteyn emigrated to the United States in 1993 from Moscow, Russia, is a fluent Russian speaker and is very well-versed in all aspects of current events, history, economics and international politics.

By the way, this is the same guy who defended Trump for using charity money to buy a portrait that ended up in one of his golf courses. We wonder if he's going to be out of a job soon.
