Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL), who is engaged in a tough re-election fight this year, on Thursday said that Trump is “too bigoted and racist” for the state of Illinois.
“I do not support Hillary Clinton, and I told the public that I did not support Donald Trump, either. I think he’s too bigoted and racist for the Land of Lincoln,” Kirk said when asked by John Howell of Chicago radio station WLS-AM 890 whether he could support Clinton, according to a clip uploaded by Buzzfeed News.
Kirk announced last week that he had withdrawn his support for Trump, citing the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s controversial comments and attacks.
“While I oppose the Democratic nominee, Donald Trump’s latest statements, in context with past attacks on Hispanics, women and the disabled like me, make it certain that I cannot and will not support my party’s nominee for President regardless of the political impact on my candidacy or the Republican Party,” the senator said in a statement.
Kirk, however, is the exact amount of bigotry and racism for Illinois.
Fuck you, Mark, and Rauner, too. Hello, Senator Duckworth!
So, he’s telling all Illinois Republicans to stay home on election day. Awesome!!
