Jeb Bush: ‘No apology can excuse away’ Trump’s ‘reprehensible’ comments

Former Republican candidate Jeb Bush quickly denounced the sexually aggressive comments by Donald Trump that were leaked in a Washington Post report on Friday. 

Bush referred to Trump’s comments as “reprehensible” and “degrading” and said there was no way the Republican presidential nominee could apologize for them. 

As the grandfather of two precious girls, I find that no apology can excuse away Donald Trump’s reprehensible comments degrading women.

Soon after Bush posted his tweet, Hillary Clinton retweeted it. 

Clinton herself lashed out at the news of Trump’s comments earlier. The Democratic presidential nominee warned “we cannot allow this man to become president.”

This is horrific. We cannot allow this man to become president. https://t.co/RwhW7yeFI2

The leaked 2005 tape of Trump revealed that he discussed an attempt to seduce a married woman with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush and said that “when you’re a star,” women let you do anything, including “grab them by the p—y.”
