James Dobson defends his continuing support for Trump

Focus on the Family founder James Dobson released a statement explaining his support for Donald Trump despite his scandalous comments while condemning former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Trump was heard making lewd remarks about groping and kissing women in a 2005 video that was leaked earlier this month.

"First, I do not condone nor defend Donald Trump's terrible comments made 11 years ago. They are indefensible and awful. I'm sure there are other misdeeds in his past, although as Jesus said, 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.' I am, however, more concerned about America's future than Donald Trump's past," Dobson said.

Dobson, who also hosts the radio program Family Talk, said his condemnation of the former president is totally different.

"To my knowledge, Donald Trump has never abused women physically or had oral sex in the Oval Office with a vulnerable intern. Nor has he committed perjury by lying to Congress for many hours," he continued. "Clinton, on the other hand, lost his license to practice law for that criminal act," Dobson added.

Dobson pointed out Clinton's support for partial-birth abortion and praised Trump's pro-life stance. He also accused Clinton and his wife Hillary of not respecting the U.S. Constitution while highlighting Trump's promise to protect it.

The renowned radio host previously endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz during the Republican primaries. He began to endorse Trump when he won the nomination.

In an earlier statement, Dobson said that his decision to support the business magnate was not only due to his opposition to Hillary but also because of his belief that Trump was the most capable candidate to lead the nation.

Dobson, who is a member of Trump's faith advisory panel, also noted Trump's promise to appoint conservative justices to the Supreme Court and preserve religious liberty. He was also delighted that Trump picked Indiana governor Mike Pence as his running mate.
