The Republican National Committee is putting its Victory program aimed at getting GOP nominee Donald Trump elected on hold following a 2005 video of billionaire making lewd comments about women leaked Friday.
The email sent to a victory program vendor was instructed to stop mail projects until further notice, according to an email obtained by Politico.
“Please put a hold/stop on all mail projects right now. If something is in production or print it needs to stop. Will update you when to proceed,” RNC staffer Lauren Toomey wrote in an email.
Following the video’s release, RNC chairman Reince Priebus made it clear he found the remarks unacceptable. “No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever,” he said in a statement Friday evening.
Top Republicans, including his running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, House Speaker Paul Ryan, who uninvited Trump to a campaign event Saturday, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have condemned his comments. Some, like House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz and South Dakota Sen. John Thune, went so far as to call for him to step down.
