Republicans reeling after Trump's vulgar comments revealed
None
In a videotaped midnight apology, Donald Trump declared "I was wrong and I apologize" after being caught on tape making shockingly vulgar and sexually charged comments.
Yet he also defiantly dismissed the revelations as "nothing more than a distraction" from a decade ago and signaled he would close his presidential campaign by arguing that rival Hillary Clinton has committed greater sins against women.
"I've said some foolish things," Trump said in a video posted on his Facebook page early Saturday. "But there's a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims."
Trump's 90-second statement capped a jarring day that threatened to sink the billionaire businessman's White House campaign, and sent Republicans into a panic as the Nov. 8 election nears and the candidates prepare for Sunday's crucial debate.
