Yes, he actually said this.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) said Trump paid hush money to inappropriate content actress Stormy Daniels because he "loves his family" and wanted to protect them.
"I honestly think this president loves his family," Rounds told CNN's John Berman Wednesday morning. "I think it has as much to do with trying not to have public discussions about something that is, for him, a private matter that he didn’t want to have discussed with his family. I think that’s a lot of it."
Rounds added, "I think he really does care about his family. I think he loves his family and I don’t think he wanted his family to go through this."
