A raft of GOP congressional candidates and leaders have called for Trump to drop out of the presidential race and on Saturday Pence cancelled a high profile appearance in Wisconsin with House Speaker Paul Ryan.
He released a statement saying he was "offended" by the comments from Trump, made public Friday, and said he "cannot defend them" But Pence also added, "we pray for his family and look forward to the opportunity he has to show what is in his heart" at Sunday night's debate.
