Miss. GOP congressional delegation still behind Trump
The remarks made on that video were disrespectful and indefensible, and I trust that the apology for them was sincere,” U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran said in a statement Monday. “I will continue to support Republican candidates and policies that will make our country safer and stronger.”
U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo was the only member of the Republican Mississippi delegation who didn’t respond to The Clarion-Ledger’s request for comments on Trump and continued support….
…Sen. Roger Wicker, who chairs the Republican National Senate Campaign, called Trump’s comments on the video “impossible to defend” and said he hopes the candidate shows “genuine remorse” but did not withdraw his support.
Rep. Gregg Harper had no comment on Trump’s remarks but said he would still be voting for the Trump/Pence ticket.
Rep. Trent Kelly, through a spokesman, said, “his position has not changed,” and that he continues to support Trump but declined further comment.
