KIRO

SEATTLE - Washington Republican congressman Dave Reichert told KIRO 7 he will not endorse Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.

“I grew up with certain principles,” Reichert told KIRO 7 anchor Dave Wagner. “I taught my kids certain principles, and you know, when you insult veterans and others, insult certain ethnicities and certain groups of people … I'm not going to endorse Donald Trump.”

However, Reichert said there’s also “no way I can vote for Hillary Clinton.”

“I just can't get there,” he said.

1. Doesn't surprise me

He's on the west side of the mountains in Washington state. Not exactly a hot bed of conservative "values".

I don't vote for him, but he sometimes is on the right side of the issues. Glad to hear this.

8. So Vote To Take Away My Health Insurance Again Willya

Reichert is a piece of work who doesn't even believe in contraception. And even he can't vote for Trump. Says something.
