SALT LAKE CITY -- Congressman Jason Chaffetz said he is withdrawing his support for Donald Trump Friday after a video surfaced showing the Republican candidate for president making vulgar remarks in 2005 about touching and kissing women without their consent.
Chaffetz, a Republican representing Utah's Third Congressional District, appeared on Fox 13 News at Nine Friday, saying: "I'm out. I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president. It is some of the most abhorrent and offensive comments that you can possibly imagine."
Rep. Chaffetz said he and his wife have a 15-year-old daughter, and he said if he can't look her in the eye and tell her about what Trump said he can't endorse the man.
While Chaffetz said he isn't sure who he will vote for, he said he won't be voting for Hillary Clinton and added that it's a shame Mike Pence isn't at the top of the ticket. He also said Trump's response to the criticism was an apology for getting caught, not an apology for his behavior.
Earlier Friday, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert also reacted to the footage and stated he would not vote for Donald Trump.

So almost like it was planned, that I am sure it was planned.
What’s the odds of Ryan finally deciding to grace Trumps presence just days ago, only to have this break, and he pull out of the Wisconsin event? Look for a withdrawal of his non endorsement, endorsement tomorrow.
For any here wavering in there intention to vote Trump, just imagine the evil grin on Hillary’s face tonight. Not to mention Ryan, Bush, Romney, and Ted.
Feline nickname.
And this is just fine with some of our very own FReepers.
Once again, we’re going to eat our own. We deserve what we get!
He is ok telling his daughter about the two underaged Russian girls that Epstein gave Bill Clinton recently on Pedo Island as a “gift?”
He is OK telling his daughter he can’t support a man who bragged about sex with women, so he is switching his support to a woman who threatened the lives of her husband’s sexual assault victims?
I’m going to TW this trash
Well, bye...
Democrats never abandon each other. Rape, drownings, interns. You name it. NEVER.
But this Jew is okay with a mass murderer Islamist becoming President. Such morals in this as&hole.
What???? I just watched the video from 2005, and there's nothing even close to that in it. You can always count on the liberal media to add speculation and words that never occurred.
I see the thought police are alive and active in the GOP.
I am so sick of these useless faggots.
Tell you what, Jason, I am going to vote trump in November and no one else.
GOP can go to Hell.
It’s okay to run out of ink in your pen ,,,
As long as you don’t run out of lead...
In your pencil of course...
Chaffetz either didn’t watch the video or lied about it. Either way, HE should resign.
Ofgs.......WIMPS, WUSSIES SURROUND US

Speaking of p**sies...
He is still smarting at being turned down for the USSS.
The only thing he needed to see in preparation was his script...as given by his master.
Almost midnight on a Friday night and he couldn’t wait to call CNN on a story that only came out late today. He didn’t endorse Hillary and said Trump might still win but he’s “out”. You tell me how craven these Republicans are.
