Chabot Doubles Down on Support for Donald Trump Despite Bragging about Sexual Assault

Just days after Donald Trump was heard making lewd and deplorable comments about women on tape, Tea Party candidate Paul Chabot doubled down on his support for Trump’s presidential bid. After endorsing Trump’s candidacy in May by pledging to do all he could to help Trump get elected, Chabot reaffirmed his support yesterday in an article published by the Press Enterprise, saying “I will vote for Trump.”

“It was bad enough that Chabot endorsed Trump despite his offensive comments about women, minorities and veterans,” said Lou Wasson, spokesperson for Congressman Pete Aguilar’s re-election campaign. “But his continued support for someone who bragged about sexually assaulting women is absolutely unconscionable. Chabot should be ashamed of himself.”
