On Oct. 9, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton took part in the second presidential debate, the two facing new scandals that arose over the past two weeks.

One of these topics, concerning Republican candidate Donald Trump and his defense Sunday night of lewd comments hemade about women in 2005, evoked a viral response from former University of Georgia wide receiver Chris Conley.

When probed at the debate for his reasoning behind his comments about kissing and groping women and making sexual advances towards married women, Trump said it was locker room talk."

Conley tweeted about Trump"s statement, saying that, as an athlete who spends a lot of time in a locker room, the candidate"s comments were not reflective of "locker room talk."

Conleys first tweet received over 9,300 likes and over 5,700 retweets as of 2 a.m. Oct. 10, but also spurred several negative responses, some of which got deleted due to the current Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers replies.

After a large response, Conley posted a tweet standing by his prior position.

Conley could not be reached for comment.
