"He is swinging at every phantom of his own imagination because he knows he’s losing," Kaine said of the Republican nominee for president on ABC's "This Week."

Multiple women in the last week have come forward to accuse Trump of uninvited kissing or groping — accusations the billionaire and his campaign have strongly and repeatedly denied.

The Virginia senator said the women decided to come forward after Trump last weekend denied he ever did the things he talked about in a 2005 tape released earlier this month.

In that tape, Trump said he could grope and kiss women without their consent because of his celebrity status.

"That’s what’s going on. It’s not because of our campaign, but it’s very characteristic of Donald Trump that now he’s blaming these women," Kaine said.

"He’s making weird claims that, no, I couldn’t have assaulted this person, she’s not attractive enough to assault. How bizarre is that? He’s blaming the media; he’s blaming the GOP; he’s saying that America can’t run a fair election. And this is what bullies do."
