Twitter Share Icon Email Share Icon Senator Mike Crapo has withdrawn his support of Donald Trump for President. Below is the statement the senator released today.

Boise, ID – I have reached the decision that I can no longer endorse Donald Trump. This is not a decision that I have reached lightly, but his pattern of behavior has left me no choice. His repeated actions and comments toward women have been disrespectful, profane and demeaning. I have spent more than two decades working on domestic violence prevention. Trump’s most recent excuse of "locker room talk" is completely unacceptable and is inconsistent with protecting women from abusive, disparaging treatment.

Make no mistake--we need conservative leadership in the White House. I urge Donald Trump to step aside and allow the Republican party to put forward a conservative candidate like Mike Pence who can defeat Hillary Clinton. — U.S. Senator Mike Crapo

Was this after the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape?

Yes, I think so. But doesn't matter, the Kamakazee crew dug it up, and now the jackals will descend.

Yes, the jackals that want the pubs to implode dug it up looking for the greek chorus of condemnation.

I don't think anyone realized just how funny that suggestion was in retrospect.

Crapo married Susan Diane Hasleton in June 1974, and they have five children. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[31], A MORMAN it figures.

I’m surprised his family never changed the family name.

The original family name of a friend of my father was Lifshitz. They changed the family name to Lorring.

This guy is lying if he says he never engaged in locker room talk. There is not a man alive that has not engaged in locker room talk.

I played football, among other things, I never heard anything like that.

And no football player I knew did that while they had a camera pointed at them, and they knew it.

My friends: Oct. 9, 2016 is when the statement was made. What should the Idaho voters do 4 weeks b4 the election, vote for a democrat? Kudos to the poster for bringing it up now. This guy is 70 years old, ready to call it a career. Idaho is red enough to make sure he doesn’t get renominated. Who’s to say the next ‘conservative’ won’t lie his or her way to the senate? Cassidy in La. + a couple of others should get the same treatment as attention spans get longer.

That Access Hollywood Tape was a big nothing. Hunter Biden is ignored. Disgusting.

With all due respect, I don’t believe you but maybe we need to define terms. You and nobody on your football team ever mentioned that your favorite cheerleader in the cheerleading squad was hot?

Yes, and worse than that. But nobody said anything like the other thing.
