Trump Co-Chair: Support The Nominee Or ‘Shut The Hell Up’ [View all]

Source: Talking Points Memo

Donald Trump’s 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 CNN’s “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 Trump’s comments about the judge the “textbook definition” of racism, while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) worried aloud that Trump could be the party’s 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 couldn’t stomach voting for the New York businessman.
