Donald Trump thanks Republicans who are standing by him after an uproar from many in the party over a recording of Trump making vulgar comments about women.
Trump tweeted on Sunday morning: “Tremendous support (except for some Republican “leadership”). Thank you.”
Trump’s tweet comes after a growing list of elected Republican officials called on him to abandon his presidential campaign.
In a posting Saturday evening, Trump praised supporters who turned up at a party unity rally in Wisconsin — an event that Trump was disinvited to by House Speaker Paul Ryan. The rally was in Ryan’s congressional district.
At the event, Ryan was booed and heckled by Trump supporters, who shouted “Shame on you!” and “You turned your backs on us!”
Ryan has not withdrawn his endorsement.
