Former Republican presidential candidate and Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina called on the Republican National Committee to replace Donald Trump as the party’s nominee.
In a statement posted Saturday on Facebook, Fiorina said Trump should be replaced at the top of the GOP ticket with his vice presidential nominee.
“Donald Trump does not represent me or my party,” the statement said. “I understand the responsibility of Republicans to support their nominee. Our nominee has weighty responsibilities as well. Donald Trump has manifestly failed in these responsibilities… Today I ask Donald Trump to step aside and for the RNC to replace him with Gov. Mike Pence.”
Trump found himself engulfed in controversy Friday when a 2005 video resurfaced showing him making vulgar comments about women.
He has since apologized and said his past comments “don’t reflect who I am.”
