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.

Notice how all the RINOS are jumping at the chance to denounce Trump. These DO NOTHING RINOS love to aid in the destruction of their country. They can’t see it crumble fast enough!
Knee jerk reactions....by jerks.
The people are with Trump. We want a fighter who will fight for our interests. It`s that simple. These comments of Trump`s have no bearing whatsoever, on our desire, and no bearing on Trump`s ability to fight for us.
The politicians, media, and the uninformed are the only ones for whom these comments matter. When Trump wins in spite of the RINO`s and their back stabbing, maybe they will get it.
ll get it.
Expect a lot of feigned indignation coming the next several days from the GOP side.
So, where are they going to go? Clinton?
If they do go to Clinton, because of the 11 year old Trump tape, that shows them duplicitous. Throwing the boy’s locker room language candidate overboard to support the one who ran the Bimbo Eruption Unit during BJ’s political years.
LOL!
I can imagine the conversation...
"Well, you see, I was a democrat, and thought like one and spoke like one back then.
Then I realized the error of my ways, and changed my ways and affiliation."
"Next question?"
Chaffetz is now on MSNBC attacking Trump.
“He is withdrawing his support... after a video surfaced.”
A video is going to change your vote? Sheesh. What a lame person.
First the Utah Gov and now this clown.
Mormon treason.
It is for show and admited as much last week on Mornings with Maria . He admitted they would never impeach Hillary , but they just wanted to get the word out about her corruption . He is just your typical GOPe .
Seriously Rep Jacob, have ya ever listened ( by accident ) to your 15 yr old when she is talking to her friends and you just happen to catch it? Have ya heard the potty mouth on these kids? They know things and slang words I have never heard! I have heard things that curl my hair.
Seriously get off your self righteous PC high horse already we are sick of it and Marxism of the Mind it entails...
He is now approaching drama queen land and we may have to give him a bowl of Cheetos...
Hillary Clinton got a pedophile rapist freed on a technicality and bashed the 12-year-old victim. That’s a lot worse than a few words.
Trump needs to punch both this twat and Ryan in their manginas...
Chaffetz on MSNBC endlessly denouncing Trump in the middle of the night. Tell me why.
My comment to this idiot on his FB page which I promptly unliked:
“Proverbs 30:12 describes people like you perfectly: 12 There are those who are pure in their own eyes yet are not cleansed of their filthiness. Your work in Congress is a farce and your investigations are nothing more than kabuki theatre. What Trump said 11 years ago is distasteful but your lack of action in dealing with the criminal behavior of this administration is more vile.”
Too bad these morons weren’t shocked and outraged over Billy Jeff’s antics.
I think he said something along the lines of- cannot vote for HRC, will not vote for DJT. It’s sickening. From DJT’s statement, it looks like he is going to go on the offensive however. That’s probably the best thing to do at this point. No amount of apologizing would be good enough to reverse the optics of this. He has to keep the troops rallied.
He’s still on MSNBC tell me why this man is calling the liberal networks late at night?
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU....S/Hillary
