Paul Ryan: Trump no longer attending GOP event after lewd comments surface

Trump brushed off the hard-to-listen-to tape as “locker room banter”.

The House Speaker said he is “sickened” by Trump’s comments. “She was married.” He also uses graphic terms to describe the woman’s body and says he frequently tries to kiss attractive women. Vice presidential nominee Mike Pence also scrapped his plans to attend Fall Fest, and Republican senators and representatives were pulling their support of the nominee. The person insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal campaign dynamics publicly.

Kiepert’s uncle, Al, added that Trump’s absence “didn’t really surprise me a lot”, noting Trump’s presence wasn’t widely publicized by the campaign.

The political firestorm was sparked by a 2005 video obtained and released Friday by The Washington Post and NBC News.

Sensenbrenner started to say, “OK, if you’re not going to be for the whole ticket” before being interrupted again by the person shouting “I’m for Donald Trump!”.

In Elkhorn, the mood was more subdued as dozens of Walworth County Republicans lined up to attend the event Trump was originally supposed to headline.

The announcement also didn’t say that Ryan would actually campaign for Trump, just that they would be appearing at the same event.

“Trump is a great man”, said Scott Reese, a 40-year-old plumber sporting a red “Make America Great Again” cap. “As the father of three daughters, I strongly believe that Trump needs to apologize directly to women and girls everywhere”. And Trump also made clear that he would not step down as nominee despite calls from some Republicans to do so. In the video, Trump is heard describing attempts to have sex with a married woman.

“It is never appropriate to condone unwanted sexual advances or violence against women”, said McMorris Rodgers, the Republican Conference chairwoman. “Mr. Trump is human”. John McCain, the party’s 2008 presidential nominee who is up for re-election, withdrew his support Saturday, a day after issuing a stern rebuke.

Election law experts suggest it would be logistically impossible to replace Trump on the ballot altogether, with early voting underway in some states and overseas ballots already distributed to military servicemen and others. Now, Ryan’s decision to drop Trump from the lineup is the talk of the 2016 election.

“These comments are disturbing and inappropriate, there is simply no excuse for them”.

Ryan uninvited Trump on Friday night. – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “There is no way to defend the indefensible”. Many states do not allow write-in candidates for president, while others require them to register.

New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte answered the question with a loud No on Saturday, reversing her previous position that she would vote for Trump even though she declined to endorse him.

To explore this point, it’s worth examining voter attitudes toward Ryan and Trump using four months of Wisconsin polling data (June, July, August, September) provided by Charles Franklin of the Marquette University Law School.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, who has previously remained largely silent after Trump’s many gaffes, issued a statement denouncing Trump’s words.

It’s not the first time the two men have tangled. That moment was expected to come Saturday.
