" To be fair, you don&amp;#039;t go into many interviews expecting the kind of question Chris Hayes slammed Congressman Blake Farenthold with last night. Even if, as Farenthold is, you&amp;#039;re endorsing Donald Trump\u2014who we&amp;#039;ve now learned likes to &amp;quot;grab&amp;quot; women &amp;quot;by the pussy&amp;quot;\u2014it still might catch you off guard when you&amp;#039;re asked, straight up, if you could also condone rape:      .@farenthold on if he&amp;#039;d revoke support for Trump if he said &amp;quot;I like raping women&amp;quot; -- &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;d be bad...I&amp;#039;d consider it&amp;quot; https://t.co/jWCZ1YERYl \u2014 All In w/Chris Hayes (@allinwithchris) October 12, 2016    That said, if you&amp;#039;re continuing to endorse Trump after seeing the video, you demonstrably have no problem with his expressed interest in sexual assault. This question isn&amp;#039;t that much of a stretch. You also don&amp;#039;t need to be Fred Astaire to be able to figure this one out on your feet. The correct answer is: No, I could not endorse someone who said he likes raping people.  When you add in that Farenthold was once sued for sexual harassment and spent years cybersquatting on the web URL &amp;quot;blow-me.org&amp;quot; so he could potentially sell it to a porn site, the whole picture doesn&amp;#039;t exactly get better for the Texan. In fairness, Farenthold hopped on Twitter soon after to apologize and clarify:      I apologize for my failure to immediately condemn anyone who would say something as outrageous as they like raping women.

(2/3) \u2014 Blake Farenthold (@farenthold) October 12, 2016         I do not, and have not ever condoned rape or violence against women. That is not the kind of man I believe Donald Trump to be. (3/3) \u2014 Blake Farenthold (@farenthold) October 12, 2016    It seems he&amp;#039;s just another of Trump&amp;#039;s star surrogates. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
