Eric Trump appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday where he reacted to his father, Donald Trump’s recent comments about a “rigged election” and his plan to pursue legal action against the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.

“If it’s a fair outcome, he will absolutely accept it,” said Trump when asked how his father will react if Hillary Clinton wins by even a five or six point win. “There’s no question about it.” I think what my father is saying is ‘I want a fair election.'”

Eric was also asked about his father’s statement he made at a Gettysburg rally yesterday on pursuing legal action against his female accusers. Eleven women have now come forward with allegations against Trump, including an adult-film actress, Jessica Drake, who claimed Donald made sexual advances towards her 10 years ago.

“Where were these women before? It’s not like my father is a hidden individual right?…Whether he was building hotels, fifteen seasons of Apprentice and then the day the Hillary WikiLeaks come out all of a sudden people start coming forward,” said Eric. “I think you’d have to be really naive to think that one and the other weren’t coordinated together.”

“The depressing thing for me is how much time the press spends on that topic,” added Eric who expressed a media bias when it comes to his father. “Quite frankly throughout this whole process he’s needed to fight for himself and he believes in a right and wrong. When he feels there is injustice, I think you should stand up to ourselves.”

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway also defended Trump’s claims of a “rigged election” and admitted Trump is behind Hillary Clinton in the polls just weeks away from Election Day. She appeared on on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.

“We are behind. She has some advantages, like $66 million in ad buys just in the month of September, thereby doubling her ad buys from August. Now, most of those ads are negative against Donald Trump, classic politics, personal destruction, cesspool kind of ads. And that she has tremendous advantages.”
