Donald Trumps campaign team is apparently fed up with Republicans publicly expressing reservations about their presumptive nominee.
"Either they want to get behind the presumptive nominee who will be the nominee of this party and make sure that we do everything we can to win in November or we're just asking them if they can't do that, then just shut the hell up," Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis said Thursday on CNNs New Day. "That's what we're asking them to do."
Trump earned fresh rebukes from Republicans on Capitol Hill for his recent attacks on the Mexican heritage of a federal judge and for his renewed fixation on banning Muslim immigrants from the United States. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) called Trumps comments about the judge the textbook definition of racism, while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) worried aloud that Trump could be the partys next Barry Goldwater.
The negative comments about Trump have sounded in statehouses, too. This week alone, Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said they couldnt stomach voting for the New York businessman.
