Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt is calling on Donald Trump to withdraw as GOP presidential nominee.

In the wake of leaked tapes revealing Trump's vulgar talk about groping women, Hewitt wrote Saturday on Twitter that "more and worse" damaging stories about Trump are coming.

"For the benefit of the country, the party and his family, and for his own good, @realDonaldTrump should withdraw."

For the benefit of the country, the party and his family, and for his own good, @realDonaldTrumpshould withdraw. More and worse oppo coming

Hewitt has had a tumultuous relationship with Trump through the presidential campaign. After he called on the GOP in June to consider changing party convention rules to keep Trump from becoming the nominee, Trump's campaign called for Hewitt to be banned from the convention.

But Hewitt reversed a week later, backing Trump for president.
