In the hours after the extremely disturbing video of Donald Trump bragging that he could do anything he wanted to women — including “grabbing them by the p*ssy” — was published, GOP politicians turned to Trump’s favorite social platform to condemn him: Twitter.

Some, including Arizona Sen. John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, even used Twitter to announce they would not be voting for the candidate they chose to represent their party, and there were calls for Trump to step aside, to which Trump replied, “Never.”
Here are some of those reactions:
Sen. John McCain of Arizona
Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire
Rep. Martha Roby of Alabama
Gov. John Kasich of Ohio
Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California
Former candidate Carly Fiorina
Rep. Barbara Comstock of Virginia
Sen. Mike Lee of Utah
Sen. John Thune of South Dakota
Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois
Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho
Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona
Gov. Gary Herbert of Utah
Gov. Dennis Daugaard of South Dakota
George Pataki, former governor of New York
Even Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, used the platform to denounce Trump’s words — though he is still standing by his boss.
Trump, too, has tweeted his reactions. They are ... unsurprising.
