Republican national committee chairman Reince Priebus reacted in a brief statement late Friday to predatory comments Donald Trump made about women in a 2005 conversation with a former “Access Hollywood” host.

Priebus said no woman should “ever” be described in Trump’s terms. In the video, Trump says because he’s famous he “can do anything” to women, including “grab them by the pussy.”

“No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever.” Priebus said in a statement.
