Senator Bob Corker issued a statement condemning fellow republican and Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump after a video showcased a vulgar and crude conversation about women between Trump and a TV host.

The Washington Post revealed the video of Trump caught on a hot mic in 2005 while talking with Billy Bush of "Access Hollywood."

Trump can be heard saying he "did try and f--- her," referring to an unknown woman, whom he admitted was married.

He also used graphic terms to describe the woman's body and said he frequently tried to kiss beautiful women.

Trump boasted that "when you're a star they let you do it."

He said, "You can do anything."

Trump has a long history of making crude comments about women.

He issued an apology after a video showed him making lewd, sexually charged comments about women in 2005. Even though Trump released the following statement, many have said it was not an actual apology.

"This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended."

Hours after the video was released, Senator Corker released the following statement.

"These comments are obviously very inappropriate and offensive and his apology was absolutely necessary."

The scandal came on the same day Trump announced Corker as a new member of his National Security Advisory Council.

Senator Corker will serve along side of 10 other new members.
