Frias has refused to return phone calls or respond to emails regarding his views of Trump’s comments. On Friday, the Washington Post reported:

“Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it,” according to a video obtained by The Washington Post.

The video captures Trump talking with Billy Bush, then of “Access Hollywood,” on a bus with the show’s name written across the side. They were arriving on the set of “Days of Our Lives” to tape a segment about Trump’s cameo on the soap opera.”

Since the tape became public, numerous national leading Republicans have announced that they will no longer support Trump’s candidacy for President — these include U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Kelly Ayotte (NH).
