To: Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, and all Republican leaders
Tell Republicans: Your denouncements are not enough. Un-endorse Trump today!
Enough is enough: You must un-endorse Donald Trump. If you fail to do so, you are actively supporting a presidential candidate who brags openly about sexually assaulting women, among countless other vile statements.
Why is this important?
"Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."—Donald Trump, 2005
In the wake of this audio, most prominent Republican leaders have expressed their shock at Trump's words, a small handful of them going so far as to call for him to step aside. And yet, the majority of these same prominent Republican leaders—from Kelly Ayotte to John McCain to Paul Ryan—continue to endorse Donald Trump for president.
Time after time, when Trump has said or done something offensive, Republicans have gone on the record as denouncing his words or actions but have refused to take the necessary next step and un-endorse him.
These Republican leaders can't have it both ways: it's time to either back up their words with actions, and un-endorse Trump once and for all, or continue to stand with a racist, xenophobic misogynist unfit for political office.
