In the latest sign of a revolt within the Republican Party over Donald Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan has said Republicans should follow their “conscience” when it comes to deciding who to vote for. Ryan made the comments on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Speaker Paul Ryan: “The last thing I would do is tell anybody to do something that’s contrary to their conscience. Of course I wouldn’t do that. Look, believe me, Chuck, I get that this is a very strange situation. This is a very unique nominee. But I feel, as a responsibility institutionally as the speaker of the House, that I should not be leading some chasm in the middle of our party, because you know what I know that will do? That will definitely knock us out of the White House.”
Richard Armitage, who was the deputy secretary of state under President George W. Bush, says he will vote for Hillary Clinton.
