Following a day of high-profile Republicans disavowing and condemning Donald Trump in the wake of a controversial tape where he makes light of sexual assault, the GOP nominee's campaign manager and the Republican National Committee chairman have canceled all appearances on the Sunday news shows.
Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, was to appear on "Fox News Sunday" and NBC's "Meet The Press," but has been replaced with former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, an avid Trump backer.
RNC chairman Rience Priebus was also to appear on CBS’s "Face the Nation," but was replaced by Giuliani. CBS said Trump's campaign "wanted a campaign person" to appear on the show. Priebus was also set to speak on ABC's "This Week." Giuliani is appearing instead.
Both Priebus and Conway are frequent guests on Sunday morning news shows.
Priebus disavowed Trump's comments on a tape that was first released by the Washington Post on Friday. Trump has since offered an apology for the comments.
