You don’t have to be a husband or a father to hear what we heard just a few days ago and say, ‘that’s not right.’ You just have to be a decent human being to say, ‘that’s not right,’” Obama said at a rally in Greensboro, N.C., for Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonButtigieg stands in as Pence for Harris's debate practice Senate GOP sees early Supreme Court vote as political booster shot Poll: 51 percent of voters want to abolish the electoral college MORE.

The White House has also condemned Trump’s comments.

“The president found the tapes as repugnant as most Americans did,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One.

“And I think there has been a pretty clear statement by people all along the ideological spectrum that those statements constituted sexual assault.”

During a political event on Sunday in Illinois, Obama also slammed Trump’s statement about women as “demeaning" though he did not describe it as sexual assault.

Obama said Trump’s lewd remarks about women are the latest in a series of comments disqualifying him from becoming his successor.

“The guy says stuff no would find tolerable if you were applying to a job at 7/11,” he said of the Republican presidential nominee.

“[Trump] doesn’t have the temperament or the judgement or the knowledge or apparently the desire to obtain the knowledge or the basic honesty required to be president. That was true before we heard what he said about women.”

Obama pressed voters discouraged by Trump’s campaign to turn to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton instead.

“[She] needs to succeed me in this office,” he said. “[She’s] a leader with real plans to blast down barriers and break glass ceilings.

“You can reject fear and resentment and blame and hate and choose the America we know. An America full of courage and ingenuity and generosity. That’s the America I know.”

Obama then challenged Republicans offended by Trump to abandon their party’s presidential nominee.

“I don’t believe every Republican elected official believes what Donald Trump does,” he said.

“‘We find those comments disgusting, but we’re still endorsing him,’” he said they say. “C’mon people. That doesn’t make sense to me.”

Audio emerged last Friday of Trump describing his failed sexual advances toward a married woman and groping women without their consent in 2005.

Many Republicans have protested the comments, with some withdrawing their support of Trump and others calling for his exit from the 2016 race entirely.

Clinton leads Trump by about 6 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
