Former Arizona Gov. and Donald Trump supporter Jan Brewer defended the Republican nominee Sunday morning for threatening to sue the women accusing him of sexual assault. And she did so with some unfortunate imagery. “He’s been waterboarded by these issues,” Brewer said on CNN's State of the Union, prompting uncomfortable laughter from her fellow panelists. “It seems like it’s been somewhat of a put-up impression on Donald Trump from all these people lining up. It’s just unbelievable. And anybody that’s been under those kinds of assaults, I think would want to defend themselves.”

Speaking in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on Saturday, Trump delivered a speech that was intended to lay out his plans for a potential first 100 days in office. But he spent nearly 15 minutes railing against the now 11 women who have accused him of sexual misconduct as well as the media for reporting their stories. Asked by CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday morning whether she knew Trump would open his speech this way, his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said, “He delivers his own speeches, this is his candidacy.”
