RNC Chair: "People Just Don't Care" About Reports Trump Mistreated Women
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asked about Trump's reported history of disrespecting women during a
"Fox News Sunday" interview with Chris Wallace, Republican National
Committee Chair Reince Priebus initially said no one cares.

Reince Priebus: "Well, you know, a lot of things bother me, Chris, and
obviously I'm the wrong person to be asking that particular question.
But, look we've been-we've been working on this primary for a year.
And-"

Chris Wallace: "Wait a minute, why are you the wrong person? I mean,
you're the chairman of the party, this is your nominee, and they're
saying that he has mistreated women over the years."

Reince Priebus: "I'm going to answer. What I would say is, you know,
we've been-we've been working on this primary for over a year, Chris,
and I've got to tell you, I think that all these stories that come out,
and they come out every couple weeks, people just don't care. I think
people look at Donald Trump and say-and Hillary Clinton and say, 'Who's
going to bring an earthquake to Washington, D.C.?'"
