(CNN) — President Barack Obama found the tape of Donald Trump’s sexually aggressive remarks “repugnant,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Tuesday.
“The President found the tape as repugnant as most Americans did,” Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I think there’s been a pretty clear statement by people all along the ideological spectrum that those statements constituted sexual assault.”
“That’s an observation that we’ve heard from a wide variety of sources,” he said. “That’s why many people have concluded those statements are worthy of condemnation.”
On Friday, audio of Trump discussing women in lewd and sexually aggressive terms during off-camera banter at a taping of a segment for “Access Hollywood,” was obtained and reported by The Washington Post.
