Mike Pence and U.S. Rep. Todd Young for not taking a tougher stance against Trump and his comments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">John Zody, Indiana Democratic Party chairman, argued Pence has lost his Hoosier values because of his political ambition to become vice president.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThere are no ifs or buts about it. By aligning himself with Trump, Mike Pence seems to be aligning himself with these values,\u201d Zody said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Demaree called it appalling that the female leaders, in particular, have not removed their support from him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cCongresswomen Jackie Walorski and my opponent Susan Brooks waited a day before even sending a press release to condemn Trump\u2019s remarks,\u201d said Demaree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In those statements, Walorski called Trump\u2019s comments \u201cdemeaning and indefensible,\u201d and Brooks described them as \u201creprehensible and disrespectful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cIt is never appropriate to use such offensive language toward women, anywhere or anytime,\u201d Walorski said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cI am personally disgusted by this behavior,\u201d Brooks said. \u201cThis is nowhere near the conduct Americans should expect from someone seeking the office of president.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">As for Young, he is sticking with his constituents, according to Jay Kenworthy, communications director for the Todd Young campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThe majority of Hoosiers Todd speaks with are still supporting Donald Trump despite their deep reservations,\u201d he said in a statement, \u201cbecause it\u2019s the only way to ensure we don\u2019t have another four years like the last eight as Hillary Clinton and Evan Bayh would ensure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">That is not enough for the Democrats, who want Republicans to drop their support of Trump altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
