Utah Sen. Mike Lee did not mince words when he was asked why he has not yet endorsed Donald Trump for president.
“We can get into that if you want,” Lee said in a telephone interview with Newsmax TV on Wednesday. “We can get into the fact that he accused my best friend’s father of conspiring to kill JFK.”
But Lee wasn’t done there. He continued: “We can go through the fact that he’s made statements that some have identified correctly as religiously intolerant. We can get into the fact that he’s wildly unpopular in my state, in part because my state consists of people who are members of a religious minority church — a people who were ordered exterminated by the governor of Missouri in 1838. And statements like that make them nervous.”
During the Republican primary, Trump suggested that rival Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s father was somehow connected to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Trump’s claim was based on a dubious National Enquirer story. Lee endorsed Cruz in the race.
