Justine Greening slams Donald Trump after recording emerges in which he boasted about groping women
The Education Secretary condemned the Republican US presidential candidate after a video was released of him saying "you can do anything" to women "when you're a star"
CABINET Minister Justine Greening today branded Donald Trump’s comments on women “utterly crass”.
The Education Secretary said it was “up to the American people” who they wanted to elect as President.
But she condemned his views saying: “As a woman I felt they were utterly crass.”
But her Cabinet colleague Michael Fallon refused to comment on the recording where the billionaire tycoon boasted about groping women.
The Defence Secretary said: “We have to be very careful not to comment on other people’s elections, because we have to respect democracy and we have to work with whoever wins.
"I’m not going to intervene in the US election.”
It followed criticism by interim Ukip leader Nigel Farage who described Mr Trumps’s language as “ugly”.
The Trump supporter – who is in the US to support the Republican candidate – said: “Look, this is alpha male boasting.
"It’s the kind of thing, if we are being honest, that men do.
“They sit around and have a drink and they talk like this.
