Kobach, who made no public comments about the tape over the weekend, said he remains committed to supporting Trump. He cited issues such as border security and the national debt as the reason.
“These issues are so big that his unfortunate comments from 11 years ago really pale in comparison,” Kobach said.
Kobach, the only statewide official to endorse Trump ahead of the Kansas caucus, has advised Trump on immigration policy throughout the campaign and played a key role in adding Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the southern border to the official Republican Party platform.
