On the campaign trail, Senator John McCain is claiming he can’t recall making a joke about women enjoying being raped. A 1986 article in the Tucson Citizen reported McCain joked about a woman being “beaten senseless” and “raped repeatedly” before being “left to die” by a gorilla. According to the article, McCain goes on to say the woman asks her doctor, after regaining consciousness, “Where is that marvelous ape?” A spokesperson says McCain doesn’t remember making the joke. The spokesperson went on to dismiss other criticism of McCain’s humor, calling it “a good example of McCain being McCain.”
