It was November 2014 and Bill Cosby was in the early stages of a snowballing sexual assault scandal that would eventually result in dozens of damning accusations against him.

Early on, as the accusations against the once-beloved entertainer were beginning to mount, Cosby remained silent – a decision that confounded a future Republican presidential nominee.

Asked by an E! reporter to comment on Cosby, Donald Trump – a man who had weathered numerous scandals of his own over the years – offered the comedian some advice.

“Well, I think it’s very sad, and frankly I don’t think he’s handling it very well,” Trump told the network as he stood beside his wife, Melania, on the red carpet at the New York Ball Benefit at Trump Tower.
