Will Evangelicals Finally Flee From Trump?

Varied responses from evangelical and Republican leaders are pouring in after a 2005 video surfaced showing Donald Trump bragging about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women. Some have withdrawn their support, others continue to back the GOP presidential nominee to prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming president.

"As a husband and father of three daughters, I find this behavior deeply offensive and degrading," said Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council Action, referring to the leaked video carrying Trump's 2005 remarks while talking with Billy Bush, then host of "Access Hollywood."

In the conversation with Bush, the real estate magnate discusses a failed attempt to seduce a woman. "I did try and [expletive] her. She was married," Trump says. "You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait," he adds. "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." The video was published by The Washington Post on Friday.
