Second District Congressman Brad Wenstrup has issued a statement regarding Donald Trump, the Republican Party presidential nominee, following the leaked audio recording this weekend and the second presidential debate on Sunday night.
"I found Donald Trump's private comments to be disgusting and revolting. I'm raising my 2-year-old son to be gentleman who respects women. This was a horrible example.
"Jesus spoke to those who were ready to "cast the first stone." What if Jesus got down in the sand and began writing before each of these two presidential candidates?
"I've been asked by some in the media if I will withdraw my support for the Republican nominee, yet no one in the media asked my Democratic colleagues if they would withdraw their support for the candidate who defended the degrading actions of her husband, destroyed evidence after being subpoenaed, lied about destruction of official e-mails, lied about – and is unable to recognize – classified or top secret material, called fellow Americans 'deplorable' and 'irredeemable,' and lied about the events in Benghazi - even to the mother of one of the slain American heroes.
"Actions speak louder than words, and this election is about the future of our nation. The Supreme Court matters. Our national defense matters. Honesty matters. Trust matters. Following the Constitution matters. American lives matter.
"The House of Representatives has put forward a bold agenda that speaks to all Americans on important issues. We have united to address our nation's needs and our goodness in regards to poverty, the economy, healthcare, tax reform, constitutional authority, and national defense. These ideas, which I support, are available for all to see at www.usabrad.com.
"Only one presidential candidate, Donald Trump, is willing to help advance these principled ideas that can serve to improve the lives of all Americans today and well into the future."
Brad Wenstrup is running for re-election in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District, which encompasses all or parts of eight counties in Southern and Southwestern Ohio.
