Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus condemned Donald Trump's sexually aggressive comments about women in a curt statement: "No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever."

The statement, released after 7 p.m. Friday, came as the revelations about the Republican nominee's crude remarks added a newly urgent threat to his candidacy.

In the recording, Trump boasts about his sexual prowess and describes grabbing women by the genitals.

Democrats seized on the comments, first reported in the Washington Post, to renew their arguments that Trump is sexist and unfit to be president, while even many members of his own party said they could not defend them.

Trump, for his part, released a statement shortly after the Post published its report Friday afternoon, apologizing for any offense they caused, but not for the comments themselves.

Since Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee this spring, Priebus has acted as one of his chief defenders, attempting to rally the party's resistant rank-and-file members to his candidacy. Still, some have refused to support Trump, a New York businessman already previously known for making inflammatory statements about groups including women, Muslims and immigrants.

As of Friday, Priebus was scheduled to appear with Trump at a local Republican Party event in Wisconsin on Saturday. The RNC has not said whether the chairman still plans to attend.
