Risch ‘disgusted’ by Trump comments but will still vote for him

Idaho Sen. Jim Risch has finally commented on the 2005 videotape in which Donald Trump boasted of sexually assaulting women, saying he’ll still vote for Trump for president even though he’s “disgusted by the vulgar and indefensible revelations relating to the Republican nominee’s character.” Risch made the comment Tuesday to the Idaho Statesman; he was the final member of Idaho’s congressional delegation to weigh in after the release of the Trump video on Oct. 7.

Rep. Raul Labrador said he’ll still vote for Trump. Rep. Mike Simpson said he’d never endorsed Trump and certainly wouldn’t now. Sen. Mike Crapo was among the first GOP members of Congress to withdraw his endorsement of Trump over the videotape and call on him to step aside as the GOP presidential nominee. However, during a televised debate on Friday night, Crapo said he still might vote for Trump and hadn’t decided.
