Topeka ? Kansas Republicans running for seats in the U.S. House had little to say Monday about supporting Donald Trump after U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan told his caucus that he would no longer defend or campaign for the GOP presidential candidate.

Second District Rep. Lynn Jenkins, whose district includes Lawrence, did not respond to telephone and email requests for comment Monday, although she was quoted by CBS News over the weekend condemning taped remarks by Trump from 2005 in which he boasted of, among other things, being able to grope women’s genitals without their permission because he is famous.

Over the weekend, more than two dozen elected Republican officials pulled their support for Trump, according to published reports, and some even called for him to withdraw from the presidential race.

The flurry of reaction came after the Washington Post on Friday published the video, in which Trump boasted of his sexual conquests and of having committed acts that many have described as sexual assault.

Trump apologized for the remarks over the weekend, and during a televised debate with Democrat Hillary Clinton on Sunday night dismissed the remarks once again as mere “locker room talk.”

Third District Rep. Kevin Yoder, of Overland Park, has taken heat for months from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee over his support for Trump, and that heat intensified Friday after the video was released. But on Monday, Yoder would only condemn the remarks without commenting on his support for Trump to be the next president.

“As a father to two daughters I found these remarks disgusting and offensive and he was right to apologize,” Yoder said in a statement released by his campaign.

Fourth District Rep. Mike Pompeo, of Wichita, issued a similar statement, calling Trump’s remarks “horrible, offensive and indefensible.” But Pompeo’s spokesman, Sean Robinson, said the congressman was not withdrawing his support for Trump.

Roger Marshall, the Republican nominee in the 1st Congressional District, posted a statement on his Facebook page condemning Trump’s remarks while at the same time saying he would continue to support Trump for president.

“Our next president has countless important decisions ahead of them, not the least of which is nominating upwards of 3 Supreme Court justices,” Marshall wrote. “There is no question for me what this race has come down to. Regretfully, this race is not about shared values, but rather shared concerns.”

Gov. Sam Brownback issued a statement Saturday condemning Trump’s remarks, but not withdrawing support from him. During a press conference in August, he too cited Supreme Court nominations as his reason for preferring Trump over Clinton.

“I know who Hillary Clinton will appoint to the Supreme Court, and she’ll move it left,” Brownback said in August. “I don’t think there’s any question about that, and so the elections are about choices. Donald Trump was not my first choice.”

U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran called Trump’s remarks “disgusting, discouraging and damaging,” but his campaign spokeswoman did not respond when asked whether he supports Trump for president.

Meanwhile, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who has appeared on national news shows as a surrogate for the Trump campaign to talk about immigration issues, has not returned phone calls or responded to requests for comment about Trump since the video was released Friday.
