During a press conference today; President Obama was asked about the
sexual assault allegations surrounding legendary comedian Bill Cosby.
Without directly calling him a rapist, Obama carefully answered the
question saying:
“If you give a woman … or a man for that matter … a drug and then have
sex with that person without consent … that’s rape. “And I think this
country, any civilized country, should have no tolerance for rape.”
When asked if he would revoke Cosby’s Presidential Medal of Freedom –
which he received in 2002 – Obama responded saying there was no
precedent for that…adding: “We don’t have a mechanism.”
