Trump regret and apologizes for his crude remarks in 2005 video

"I've said and done things I regret," he said. "Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize."

Trump offered the remarks -- believed to be the first full public apology that he has made in the duration of a campaign laced with insults and rhetoric -- in a filmed statement hours after The Washington Post released a shocking video of Trump offensively bragging about grabbing women and pursuing sex with them with impunity.

"I've never said I'm a perfect person nor pretended to be someone I'm not," Trump said.

"I pledge to be a better man tomorrow."
