Several Republicans have said they would not back Trump, including representative Carlos Curbelo of Florida and Reid Ribble of Wisconsin, but Hanna is the first to openly endorse Clinton, despite acknowledging that he does disagree with Clinton on many issues. The Republican party presidential nominee said that he fears the upcoming presidential election “is going to be rigged”.
“For me, it is not enough to simply denounce his comments: He is unfit to serve our party and can not lead this country”, Hanna said.
That was not the case for Mr Trump, he said.
Trump blasted Bernie Sanders for lending his support to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Mr Trump claimed Mr Sanders had “buyer’s remorse” over his decision and said: “He made a deal with the devil”.

In response, Trump sought to attack the Khans, saying he would have liked to hear Mrs. Khan speak, but she probably wasn’t allowed to do so, churning out a long-held stereotypical line of an oppressed Muslim woman.
Obama also called Republicans out over Trump. Khan told Trump as some Democratic delegates were seen crying.
