I have watched in horror as he has disavowed our military heroes, made fun of the disabled, divided our country along racial, religious and gender lines, mocked the judicial branch of government, expounded untruth after untruth, promoted violence and disrespect, boasted about sexual assault against women, and made vitriol the platform of his campaign.

In short, my family values, my Christian value, my core beliefs have been disenfranchised by my party’s nominee for president. Therefore, after much thought and deliberation I have come to the decision that it would violate my conscience to continue to be a member of the Republican Party.
