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.

This is one of the do-nothings who talked big about indicting Hillary and did exactly nothing. F him.
Utah welcomes you and your wives...
Yep.....
Kabuki Boy shows his true colors.
I hope and pray you are wrong.... But I am starting to lose hope.
My Dem sister in WI was actually thinking about voting for Trump, because she likes his children.
We really have to pray hard.
Oh please, Mark, don’t do it.
Isn’t he married to the woman from Touched By an Angel?
....so he’s going to support Hillary and Bill?
Notice it’s all pearl-clutching Mormons from Utah.
No one cares.
This remark was made 11 years ago and these BASTARD republicans can’t circle the wagons for our candidate what COWARDS they are !!!!! HELLARY AND THE BUSHES are SCUM!!!!
Round about blackmail for those who don’t abandon Trump? Makes me wonder what skeletons these traitors have peeking out of their closets. Hmmm
This story about the Beast getting the 12 year old’s rape victim off needs to go viral. I am so sick of women saying how impressed they are with what Hillary has accomplished for children and women, and in a man’s world.
“The same Mormons personally befriended Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd, who assaulted a Waitress, and were famously pantless and most of the compound parties.”
Thank you for reminding me of that.
These Mormon politicians are hypocrites of the worst order.
Of course, they were never truly supportive of Trump anyway. They are open border globalists to their core.
Best comment of the thread.
Great idea!!!
how very christian
asking for forgiveness and repentance mean nothing to these pharisees
So far we have Mormons and half Jewish Mormons and a cheesehead kapos
Wha a joke
Just for the record
Whites in Mississippi and Bama vote 10-20% more gop than Utah
It looks like this was planned in advance, but it's not working like they had it all in place yet.
