Doolittle also referenced Trump's mimicking of a New York Times reporter's disability on the campaign trail.

'I have a brother-in-law who has autism, and is a guy that mocked a disabled reporter. How would I explain that to him that I hung out with somebody who mocked the way that he talked, or the way that he moves his hands? I can't get past that stuff.

'I want people to know that I put thought into this and, at the end of the day, I just can´t go,' Doolittle told the Post.
