Ayotte calls Trump comments "offensive," does not withdraw her support for nominee

Source: WMUR

MANCHESTER, N.H. —Sen. Kelly Ayotte on Friday evening called Donald Trump’s 2005 lewd comments about women “totally inappropriate and offensive,” but did not pull back her support for the GOP presidential nominee.

A video first published by the Washington Post caught Trump on a hot open microphone in 2005 making explicit comments about trying to have sex with women. In the video, Trump used offensive language, sparking widespread outrage, especially among political opponents.

Trump later issued a statement, saying, “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”

WMUR.com asked Ayotte’s campaign to comment on the Trump video and whether she would continue to support him.
