Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus passed off questions about Donald Trump’s behavior toward women to the presumptive nominee himself.

“These are things that he’s going to have to answer for,” Priebus said Sunday morning on ABC’s "This Week With George Stephanopoulos.” “I don’t think Donald Trump is being judged based on his personal life. I think people are judging Donald Trump as to whether or not he’s someone that’s going to go to Washington and shake things up. And that’s why he’s doing so well.”


He blamed Hillary Clinton and her supporters for planting the concerns.

“It’s when people live in glass houses and throw stones is when people get in trouble,” Priebus said. “It’s a classic Clinton operation. Now suddenly these things are coming out.”

As someone who’s never run for office before, Trump doesn’t necessarily have to conform to traditions such as releasing his tax returns, Priebus said. Trump has declined to do so, saying he won’t until audits of his returns have ended.

Priebus said he expects House Speaker Paul Ryan will eventually endorse Trump after progress from their meeting last week.

“I would be surprised if he doesn’t get there,” Priebus said. “I get the sense that it was a great meeting. I get the sense that it was everything both parties wanted it to be.”

Priebus downplayed the internal strife over the party's values, saying the GOP represents many people but has a clear platform that the nominee doesn’t have to agree with 100 percent.

“I think you saw Donald Trump even sort of nuancing some of these positions this past week,” he said.
