Trump has apologized for his vulgar remarks in the hot mic recording and has also categorically denied the accusations of sexual misconduct that surfaced this week.

He has not apologized for his remarks about Machado or other comments he made about women throughout his presidential campaign.

In a Thursday interview with WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio, Pence was asked to respond to a question from a girl who connected Donald Trump's rhetoric on women to body shaming."When I hear those words and look in the mirror, they make me feel bad about myself," the girl said, according to the news host Scott Light, who talked to her earlier. "What would you say to that 11-year-old girl?" Light asked.“Well I would say to any one of my kids and any children in this country that Donald Trump and I are committed to a safer and more prosperous future for their family. The weak ... foreign policy thatpromises to continue has literally caused wider areas of the world to spin apart," Pence said, as reported first by the Business Insider "The rise of terrorist threats that have inspired violence here at home, and we’ve seen an erosion of law and order in our streets. And we’ve seen opportunities and jobs evaporate and even leave Ohio and leave this country. I would say to any of our kids that if Donald Trump and I have the chance to serve in the White House that we're going to work everyday for a stronger, safer and more prosperous America," he added.The GOP nominee has been accused of sexism in light of his recently revealed lewd conversation from 2005 and his comments about the weight of former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado.
