Congress members Robert Dold (Left) and Rodney Davis (next to Dold) reject Trump | Medium
CHICAGO – Within hours of the Friday night release of a video in which GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is shown and heard discussing attempted sexual exploitations with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush eleven years ago, Republican Illinois U.S. Senator Mark Kirk publicly condemned the candidate.
GOP Congressman Randy Davis of Illinois 13th CD withdrew from Trump's Agricultural Advisory Committee and endorsed Mike Pence for president:
"As parents of a teenage daughter and teen twin boys, my wife and I teach them to respect women and that they will be judged by their words and actions," Davis said in the emailed statement. "The abhorrent comments made by Donald Trump are inexcusable and go directly against what I've been doing in Washington to combat assaults on college campuses.
"Because of this, I am rescinding my support for Donald Trump and asking to have my name removed from his agriculture advisory committee. With the terrible options America has right now, I cannot cast my vote for any of the candidates, so I hope Donald Trump withdraws from the race so the American people can elect Mike Pence as our next president."
And Congressman Bob Dold (IL-10) restated his disgust with Trump as the presidential nominee:
Congressman Adam Kinzinger (IL-16) has never been a fan of Trump, and in August restated his lack of support for the GOP nominee.
