New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he still supports Donald Trump though he describes the Republican presidential candidate's crude comments as "completely indefensible."
A top Trump ally, Christie for the first time publicly addressed Trump's comments Tuesday during an interview on New York sports radio station WFAN.
A 2005 video released Friday revealed Trump using predatory language regarding women. Trump has described his comments as "locker room talk" and said he regrets them.
Christie said he made it clear to Trump on Friday that this kind of talk, even in private, is unacceptable. He said the candidate had to be contrite and apologetic.
Christie says he would have apologized differently, but he believes Trump is sorry and embarrassed.
