Trump: 'I Said It, I Was Wrong, And I Apologize'


Presidential nominee Donald Trump, in a video statement made from Trump Tower in New York, apologized more directly for lewd remarks made by him in the past. "I've said and done things I regret and the words released today on this more than decade-old video are one of them," he said in the video released early Saturday. "I said it, I was wrong and I apologize."
The video apology came hours after The Washington Post and NBC News posted a video from 2005 in which the Republican nominee brags about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women who were not his wife.

A number of Republicans have rescinded their endorsements of Trump, while some top Republicans including national committee chair Reince Priebus and House Speaker Paul Ryan, have strongly condemned Trump's comments on that tape. "I hope Mr. Trump treats this situation with the seriousness it deserves and works to demonstrate to the country that he has greater respect for women than this clip suggests," Ryan said. Ryan added tartly that Trump was "no longer attending" a joint campaign appearance set for Saturday in Wisconsin. Trump himself later said in a statement that he would be preparing for Sunday night's debate instead. Other Republicans, painfully aware of Trump's possible impact on their own political fates, were quick to chime in. New Hampshire Sen.

Kelly Ayotte, who is locked in a close race, called his comments "totally inappropriate and offensive." Rep. Mike Coffman, a vulnerable Colorado Republican, says his party's presidential nominee should leave the race "for the good of the country, and to give the Republicans a chance of defeating Hillary Clinton." Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was "beside himself" and his wife was furious, according to a person familiar with their thinking.

That person spoke on the condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to share the private discussion. Trump said he has changed since launching his presidential bid. However, accusations of misogyny have dogged his campaign, most recently with accusations he body-shamed a former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado. Democratic rival Hillary Clinton brought her up at the end of the first presidential debate, and she was the subject of campaign ads, features and Trump reactions in the days following the debate.

"I pledge to be a better man tomorrow and will never, ever let you down," Trump said. "This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues that we face today." Trump then pivoted to an attack on Clinton. "Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground," Trump said. "I've said some foolish things but there's a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in coming days." BIll Clinton did settle a sexual harassment lawsuit from Paula Jones.

However, as The Washington Post noted in 2015, no criminal court has ever found him guilty of such accusations. The two candidates meet next on Sunday for a town hall-style debate. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
