Transcript for Independent Evan McMullin Says Trump Is 'Inhuman'

Evan why he went for president I'm running for president Tom because I think both of our means a party candidates are woefully unfit for the responsibilities they see. But secondly because I think it's time in this country for a new generation of leaders think Americans are calling for that they're they're yearning for that. And we hope to offer. You know you've missed the ballot deadline 27 states. Is it too late for you to enter this race I think it's never too late Tom to do the right thing I wish this was happening and a lot earlier. Like many Americans I hope that someone would step forward months and months ago. I felt recently that this was the last moment and understanding that no one else was preparing to do this. I felt that it had to happen do you have a campaign manager dean. Staff I do I have a campaign manager and I have staff and were the team is crowing very quickly as you might imagine. There's been a just a tremendous outpouring of interest at all levels. Everybody and everyone from volunteers to. Donors to. Really everyone's among all disciplines communications policy all kinds of things it's just been absolutely incredible this is only our two or three gimme money. The money is coming. Money's coming Americans are responding very quickly to this actually we've been very encouraged by that but it. We believe that we're going to have the resources we need to have to fight. To scrape to claw to do whatever we need to do whatever we can do of course. You have a chance to win this and we believe that we do you have that chance if you're Republican. Why are you going against the Republican nominee look I'm an American first I'm a conservative next and then. I think about party. But the the main thing that motivates me is just that I think this country needs a new generation of leaders. And I think other Americans are yearning for that too. It's time the two main party candidates now are proposing old ideas. Either the bigotry and misogyny of Donald Trump or it's that big central government top down solutions from Hillary Clinton government in which. The average American hardworking Americans don't have much of a say in what happens in their government while insiders flourish. These are old ideas I believe it's time for something new are you ready to be the Republican Ralph Nader look Donald Trump is defeating himself. He is ensuring that Hillary Clinton is elected. It's clear to me that he is a weak candidate. Trump is weak. And in fact I question whether he actually has the stamina. To complete the race. He is ensuring that Hillary Clinton. Win this election I do not trust him to make decisions with our military whatsoever. With the lives of the men and women serve in an armed forces and intelligence services. He's already demonstrated that he doesn't respect them or their families his attacks on our American heroes like the Cohen family. And like John McCain. This is somebody that we cannot trust. The lives of those who are already risking their their lives to he is and he is in human. Donald Trump does not care about anyone other than himself you think he's inhumane I think he's in human. I think he doesn't care about anyone but himself and Donald Trump would be worse than Hillary Clinton I think they would both be just. Absolutely terrible for the country. Absolutely terrible. I think neither of them understand what makes this country special. Neither of them one and envision a government that's accountable to the people. Neither of them respect our system of checks and balances do you see yourself as as a rebel Republican innocence no I don't not at all and not at all and I don't think Donald Trump. I don't think Donald Trump. I don't I don't think he he can claim to represent. Entirely the Republicans yes he has the nomination. But he's meant misrepresented himself all the way through this campaign. I think he's exploited. The hardship of Americans. So I got but I don't see myself as as an insurgent Republican at all well what do you say to Republicans who support from. Who say a vote for you was going to be a vote for Hillary Clinton. I would say that Donald Trump is ensuring that Hillary Clinton win this race he's losing badly and only entered this race a few hours ago. He was already losing badly he's eight he's alienated broad swaths of our population. Donald Trump cannot win. He is ensuring that Hillary Clinton win the White House wanting to announce. An ounce a year ago or even before the convention. During the primaries you had switched frankly because I hope someone else would do it somebody with national name ID. But it became clear that no one else was going to do it and so I decided to stand out. Sobel for you announce that you run for president. You had less than two wonderful Twitter all trump has ten point eight million Hillary Clinton has eight point two million. And for most of your personal and professional career you were undercover for the CIA essentially invisible. We become counseled me. I don't know that's never been my goal I've spent my life of William which wanna win the election in India indeed of course of course I think that that happens but. I've spent my life avoiding the limelight and seeking opportunities to serve. Donald Trump has spent his up his life. Avoiding opportunities to serve and seeking the limelight. Let's talk about conservatism. Donald Trump argues that. Even if you don't like and you need to vote for this whole point conservative Supreme Court justices. He went to this race. Donald Trump loses. Hillary Clinton's going to be a point where ocean. What he's Donald Trump is no conservative that's cleric think we're fooling ourselves. If that's what we're going to say let's call status they don't trump has communities line call he calls sub I think he I think he's a political opportunist that's where I think he has. I think he's always been an opportunist. I think he's in it for himself he's always been for himself that's his legacy that's his track record that's his brand. And so I expect him to do more of the same and east would differ with Paul's. I don't think I don't think we had a band people based on their religion. I don't think we should classify a specific ethnic group racists. Without Russia well first of all I'm no friend of any authoritarian Donald Trump is an authoritarian. And the leaders around the world in history and and currently. That he admires that he aspires to be in one way or another are all authoritarian it's very interest in that. That that's the case he speaks openly about it I think we all need to be concerned with that. But in other differences that. I'm no beginner to this game and Donald France's. He sees hooting as a friend. But Putin sees him as a big fat target aside from winning what is victory for low we're focused on winning. We think the country needs a new generation of leadership. This is the last moment when it period and an option for that could be offered. That's what we're doing but he few in some way help that Donald Trump does it become. Did you win a small victory. I don't want either Donald Trump. Or Hillary Clinton to be president. Neither one of them are acceptable for Americans. Hillary Clinton has proven that she doesn't believe she's accountable to the American people. The email server issue a lot of people talk about how classified information was compromised. And how lives in and sensitive operations were compromised as well. You know that's important to me is a former CIA officer certainly but a part of the story that didn't come out so much that I think is also very important now more important even. Is that she believes that she's on accountable to the American people. She went to great lengths to move her work her email traffic. Off of the state department's system. She does not believe she's accountable to their people who we are in the time now where Americans. Hard working Americans don't feel like they're being listened to and they don't feel it their government thinks that it's accountable to them. And are we really going to elect a president who personifies that. I think we we shouldn't you in the CIA said for a decade if you're analyzing. This race right now candidate like yourself. Another country. Looking it is. You Republicans see yourself an insurgent correct. Donald Trump is neo conservative let's get that straight but he's the nominee he he's won he's the nominee he is and he's the he's achieved that from misrepresenting themselves. Himself and exploiting. Vulnerabilities that the American people especially in your view there is no Republican he's a fraud. I do believe he's a fraud and he's a con man and not only that that's not something they say lightly. That is my professional opinion. I believe he is a fraud.
