Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), “one of very few Republican senators who never endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, called tonight for the nominee to ‘step aside’ and asked conservatives to find a new candidate,” the Washington Post reports.
Said Lee: “Your conduct, sir, is the distraction. It’s the distraction from the very principles that will help us win in November. You yourself, sir, Mr. Trump, have stated repeatedly that the goal, the objective, has got to be to defeat Hillary Clinton in November. I couldn’t agree more. Mr. Trump, I respectfully ask you, with all due respect to step aside. Step down. Allow someone else to carry the banner of these principles.”
