In an interview with The New York Times on Tuesday, the President and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and former Republican candidate for California governor called Republican nominee Donald Trump a “dishonest demagogue” and encouraged other Republicans to follow her lead.
“Take a look at Orlando”.
Pushing back on reports that there is chaos in the Republican, Trump said the party was united. “Take a look at what’s going on and then worldwide, and we let ISIS take this position”, Trump, 70, said.
While Whitman says there are issues on which she and Clinton disagree, it’s time to “put country first before party”.
Clinton leads Trump 49 per cent to 39 per cent in a head-to-head Fox News survey released on Wednesday. “That would be bad”, he added.
“I would say right now it is the best in terms of being united that it has been since we began”, he said. “This is incredible”, he said.
Whitman is the latest in a string of Silicon Valley bosses to speak out against Trump after over 100 industry leaders pledged support to Clinton in an open letter last month published on NewCo Shift.
In Florida, Trump also claimed that 9/11 attack would have been prevented if he were the president.
Sixty-nine percent of respondents familiar with the comments declared Trump’s criticism in response to the family’s speech against Trump at the Democratic convention “out of bounds”, compared to 19% who said it was “in bounds”.
