Barack Obama found Donald

Trump tape 'repugnant'

Donald Trump's sexually aggressive boasts

were "repugnant" in President Barack

Obama's mind, his spokesman said Monday.

The caught-on-tape remarks, which have

thrown the Republican Party into tumult,

amounted to an endorsement of criminal

behavior, White House Press Secretary

Josh Earnest said.

"The President found the tape as repugnant

as most Americans did," Earnest told reporters

aboard Air Force One on the way to a campaign

stop in North Carolina. "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 sharp condemnation."
