Melania and Ivanka Trump made it clear that they are standing by their man at Sunday night's presidential debate. 

Donald Trump's third wife and oldest daughter were both in attendance as he took on Hillary Clinton in their second showdown of the election season, just two days after video emerged in which Donald could be heard making lewd comments about women.

'And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,' Donald can be heard saying on the tape as he speaks with former Access Hollywood host and current Today anchor Billy Bush.

'Grab them by the p****.' 

Melania released a statement soon after calling her husband's comments 'unacceptable and offensive.'

Ivanka, who has been her father's most vocal supporter throughout his campaign, has remained surprisingly silent in the days since the release of the audio.

Ivanka and Melania sat in the family box for Sunday night's debate with Eric and Donald Jr., and were the first two on the stage at the end of the evening to congratulate Donald on his performance.

They did not however speak to the press or comment about the debate on social media.

Melania also chose an interesting outfit for Sunday night's debate, opting to wear an $1,100 silk crepe de chine Gucci blouse with a 'pussy bow.' 

Ivanka has been completely silent on Twitter since the P****gate scandal broke on Friday, and has only posted once on Instagram in the days since the transcript of the tape was published by The Washington Post.

That post showed the famed arch in St. Louis, Missouri just hours before the debate, and included the caption: 'St. Louis, Missouri.' 

At the same time a meme has been circulating online that shows Ivanka, Melania, Vanessa, and Lara Trump on the stage at the last presidential debate standing with their hands clasped in front of them.

'Probably not a coincidence that all #Trump women stand like this around "Mr.Grab her by the p****,"' wrote one woman on Twitter.

Over the weekend, various interviews Donald did with Howard Stern in the past two decades also began to emerge again, including one in which he told the shock jock it was completely fine to refer to his daughter Ivanka as a 'piece of a**.'

That conversation occurred while Donald was being interviewed back in September 2004 on Stern's radio show. 

The billionaire businessman was telling Stern how 'beautiful' Ivanka was.

When the radio host then asked if it was alright to refer to the then 22-year-old Ivy League graduate as a 'piece of a**.' 

'Yeah,' replied Donald.

Two years later, Stern and Donald discussed how 'voluptuous' Ivanka was while he appeared on the show.

'She's always been quite voluptuous,' said Donald while shooting down reports that his daughter had undergone any sort of breast augmentation surgery.

'She's tall, she's almost 6 feet tall and she's been, she's an amazing beauty.' 

In that same interview, Donald, who was 60 at the time, said he would have no problem having sex with a 24-year-old woman. Ivanka was 24 at the time.

Donald also spoke about wife Melania with Stern when he was interviewed in 2005, at the same time she was pregnant with the couple's son Barron.

When asked about how the pregnancy was going, Trump said that Melania was like a 'blimp' and a 'monster' now that she was with child. 

'Like a blimp - in the right places. In her case, the right places. I mean she really has become a monster - in all the right places,' said Trump. 

'I mean monster in the most positive way. She has gotten very, very large — in all the right places.'
