Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on Wednesday said that he cannot bring himself to back Donald Trump, despite hoping that he could eventually come around to voting for the GOP nominee.
“I don’t see how I get there anymore,” he said on CNN.
Kinzinger said that he hoped he could back Trump after the Republican convention, but “decided to hold off” when Trump suggested he would not uphold the United States’ commitment to NATO allies.
“And then this spat, this unbelievable spat with a family of a fallen soldier, a fallen soldier who swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” he continued. “Between that, between of course blaming George W. Bush for 9/11 and all the other sins we’ve seen in the past, Donald Trump for me is beginning to cross a lot of red lines of the unforgivable in politics.”
The congressman said he will not vote for Clinton, but will instead write a candidate in or skip the presidential race on the November ballot.
Watch a clip from the interview via CNN:
Nevermind that he’s also up for reelection.
The meme that GWB has no fault for 9/11 lives on. Can’t expect the leopards to change their spots.
Probably the reason for backing away from Donnie “Kiss of Death”…
This pearl clutching of the gop is laughable. If the they are outraged at the things trump been saying they would have blasted him on day one. It’s that some are up for reelection and their polling numbers start dropping it kinda forces their hand. It’s not like they have all of sudden enlightened about his behavior. The fact is they didn’t care till it started affecting them
Funny that NATO, not everything Trump has said about Mexicans and Muslims, is the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
