RNC chairman criticises Trump for lewd remarks against women
October 08, 2016 09:35
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus has condemned Donald Trump's sexually aggressive comments about women in a curt statement: 'No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever.'
The RNC chiarman's statement came as the revelations about the Republican nominee's crude remarks added a newly urgent threat to his candidacy.
In the recording, Trump boasts about his sexual prowess and describes grabbing women by the genitals.
Democrats seized on the comments, first reported in the Washington Post, to renew their arguments that Trump is sexist and unfit to be president, while even many members of his own party said they could not defend them.
Trump, for his part, released a statement shortly after the Post published its report Friday afternoon, apologising for any offense they caused, but not for the comments themselves.
