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.

Bingo!
this is really about the nevertrumpers Utah Mormon strategy.
So Chavetz wants the woman elected hes been trying to put behind bars for years. Badmouthing Trump’s apology is pathetic. To hell with Chavetz. Trump was saved and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior a few months ago. Mormans know nothing about repentence of past sins because the faith is a cult. Romney, Lee and Chavetz are members in good standing of the globalist express and now have a reason to vote for Clinton. The SCOTUS be dammed.
Gimme a break!
Same neutered rino that has been leading the clinton Benghazi/email dog and pony shows for the last 3 years accomplishing exactly nothing.
Now he’s doing his best to get her elected President???
This proves all his appearances on fox news and in front of a podium of microphones on capitol hill was a big steaming load of faux, self-serving horse shit.
I'm not sure she will, now that Trump has telegraphed he won't be holding back. Hillary knows she is far more vulnerable on this issue.
Giving Trump an opening to bring it up in the debate would allow him to bypass her gatekeepers in the lamestream media that would avoid discussing her (and Bill's) past.
That guy looks like an alien.
This tactic is not only dishonorable (as it will ultimately harm Americans and nullify our Constitution), the result will be disasterous for them.
Should Clinton win, between flooding the country with illegal aliens who within a short time will be provided not just with full entitlements but with full citizenship including voting rights, and the Leftist justices that will be appointed to the USSC will, through redistricting rulings, reduce the Republican Party -- and Republicans right along with it -- to an insignificant fringe political entity. You only need look at California to see how massive a disaster single-party rule is -- especially when that party is of the totalitarian Left.
So he cares nothing about the effect of a liberal majority SCOTUS on his daughter. Now, THERE’S politician logic for you.
I think the nuclear bomb that Trump holds is the Kathy Shelton story. I think this is much more damaging to Hillary than pushing the aiding and abetting Bill’s indiscretion narrative.
Here’s why. First and foremost, a large percent of the population knows nothing about Shelton. When I bring up the story to people during political conversations, most of them get that deer in the headlights look.
Second, she not only defended a rapist, (that she herself felt was guilty), but a CHILD rapist. She also chuckled about his guilt and her defense of it. That’s some brutal stuff.
It has to be done carefully, politically correct, and strategical and surgically, but if there is a way to bring this up during a debate, especially a townhall debate...it would be DEVASTATING.
Jason wil burn in hell.
You WERE NOT supposed to actually WATCH the video and judge for yourself. You are supposed to listen to idle rumor and gossip and the media and make all your decisions from there. (/s)

I suspect major skeletons in the Utah closets.
Fits with my personal experience in DC.
‘
But Geraldo and the Media said other countries were laughing at us because of our views on mistresses with Bill C.
Geraldo led the White House’s Oral Sex is not Sex campaign - and we were told everybody does it.
This is a only private conversation.

She arranged to have the testing lab LOSE the DNA/Blood sample. A bit more than just a 'technicality'.
So I guess Chaffetz won’t have a problem when his daughter is next in line for a clitoridectomy.
Hillary’s speeches to the banking industry show that she’s for open borders, and hundreds of thousands of Muslim non-vetted immigrants. Chaffetz’ kids living under sharia law is better for them than some stupid, seedy words? Will his daughter get to pick out her own hijab or burqa or will her god-like husband do it for her?
Priebus needs to do some serious negotiating or threatening when it comes to the idiots in D.C. GOP.
Third... she won the case by having the TESTING LAB LOSE the DNA/blood sample that proved he did it.
